A total of 8,000 torch-bearers will take the torch on its 70-day journey,
which begins at Land's End on the 19th May. Current information is that
on the
10th July this journey will eventually take the torch through
Maidenhead and over the bridge to Taplow at the Mill Lane junction
where it will then become a convoy (meaning it will be transported in a vehicle)
and will travel to Eton Dorney Lake via an unpublished route. It's
estimated that the torch will pass along the A4 around 11.00 am. So bag
your place early.
