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.

@Anomnomnomaly@beige.party @Neat_hot@beige.party I'd presume to be completely correct you'd need to factor in changes of height as well in the distance. Lots of mountains and glens in Scotland.

@Anomnomnomaly@beige.party @Neat_hot@beige.party The easy option in terms of existing signage would be to do the North Coast 500 then do it backwards.
