[The Dragon Master]

The first 74 locations on the 2012 Olympics torch relay route, starting at Land's End, have been revealed.



The route, which covers every nation and region in the UK and includes island visits, will see the Olympic torch travel 8,000 miles (12,800 km).



A search for 8,000 inspirational torchbearers is also beginning, the London Olympics organisers said.



They stress the route details are not comprehensive and more places to be visited will be named in coming months.



The London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Locog) said the Olympic flame would come within a one-hour journey of 95% of people in the UK.



The torch will leave Land's End, Cornwall, on the morning of Saturday 19 May 2012 - the day after it arrives in the UK from Greece.



During the 70-day torch relay, it will pass through towns and cities including Bristol, Cardiff, Liverpool, Belfast, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Newcastle, Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham, Oxford, Southampton and Dover.
