The THREE Torch Bearers selected for Bodmin will, in turn, carry the Torch via. (Main Road) Fairpark, St. Leonards, Higher Bore St., Dennison Road to end at Crockwell Street (Dennison Road Car Park). ( or may be Church Square ! ? )

There are three Torchbearers from Bodmin carrying the torch through Bugle !

There is one Torchbearer from Bodmin carrying the torch through Lanivet !

The explanation I have received from the official committee is -  "LOCOG has worked hard to ensure people are within an hour travelling of their nomination postcode so friends and family can easily support them and celebrate their role". ( How helpful ! - Please try harder I say ! )
