What a wonderful world, try this,

On Google Maps ask for Driving Directions from Lands End Hotel, Cornwall to the Olympic Stadium Stratford London.

Got Your Route?

Now change over to walking directions, enjoy the journey.  ;D ;D ;D

i did google directions from hayle in cornwall to Cardiff, accidently selected on foot instead of by car,
the quickest route it suggested was
walk to plymouth,
catch a ferry from Plymouth to Roscoff (france),
catch ferry from Roscoff to Cork
ferry from Cork to Swansea,
Walk Swansea to Cardiff

And again from Hawaii to Japan! Over 6500 miles to paddle. Need a big kayak if you're to use the same car throughout!
