Where we're going and what it costs

New Updated Itinerary

The starting point is a 1950’s style Greasy Spoon in north London, where we fill up the tanks and our bellies on a full English breakfast before heading for the channel.

We’ll swing around the Nurburgring for the Grease Lightening stage, on our way to the beer halls of Bavaria, and the alpine switchbacks of Austria. Then the Italian Job stage to Venice, before following the Adriatic coast all the way down to Greece, finishing at a welcoming ceremony at the British Embassy, hosted by the Ambassador (no really! We're not making it up)

Entrance for the challenge costs £99 per team, and that covers all the (dis)organisation, a discount on channel crossing tickets, some stickers, entrance to the Nurburgring, a road book with a few tips where you can find fat on-route, your first tank of grease or biodiesel, a massive discount on the best veg-conversion kit money can buy, a great deal on essential filtering equipment and a stack of guide books, maps and phrase books for each team. Plus any other goodies we can cajole sponsors to part with.

We're also raising awareness for the work Low Impact Living Initiative and The C-Change Trust are doing beacuase we feel the work they do concentrates more on having a positive environmental impact rather than self promotion. Individual charities supported by the teams will also get a mention on the website.
