Can you even walk 500 miles, and THEN walk 500 more, and still be in Scotland? Would you even still be in the UK, or would you fall into the sea‽

    @Neat_hot@beige.party lol good question but it's not about traversal it's about the journey itself: Highlands coastal loop track. extremely scenic, and entirely in-country. 🤌

    @Neat_hot@beige.party You can go from Adelaide to Brisbane (But why would you? Adelaide is nicer)

    @Neat_hot@beige.party I know this is a joke, but I was curious... and decided to check how long the UK coastal paths were. England there are an estimated 2700 miles of coastal path, technically allowing you to walk the entire coast with some exceptions. In Wales, the coast path is currently around 870 miles. There is a proposed Scotland coastal path, still being constructed. When finished, it will be around 6300 miles long. So yes... they could easily walk 500 miles and 500 more.

    @Neat_hot@beige.party Not without lööping. Even Durness to Gretna is only about 340 miles :c

    @Neat_hot@beige.party If my geography is correct - you deficiency wouldn't be in Scotland and I think you would in the sea somewhere.

    @Neat_hot@beige.party IIRC the song never mentions to walk in a straight line - 1000 miles in a circle around the cliffs of Scotland / the remainder of the UK should work! /cc @purplepadma@beige.party
