Both times I wandered around a lot, so both times where +4,000 miles Home to Home.
Jesus - that's a lot of 'wandering about'. I have just played with a route finder to find that Bangor (Wales) - LE - JOG - and back to Bangor via Lowestoft is about 2,800 miles, where did you go? I did JOGLE via Dunnet Head and Lizard Point and avoided all A-roads where I could and was surprised that this still 'only' came to 1,029 miles.
First time:- Northampton -> LE was fairly direct but I then did the 4 cardinals on the way north.
So I was ~2,700 when I got to JoG.
Then up to the Shetlands -> out to the Hebs -> down to Norfolk via the Lakes before heading home.
Second time:- Northampton to the south coast going east of London -> then most of the south coast to LE -> up to Derby -> then most of the Welsh coast -> most of the Scottish coast via Durness to JoG -> zig-zagged back to the Hebs then on to Inverness -> headed south from there and arrived back on the east coast at the Humber -> followed the coast to the Thames before looping around Birmingham on the way home.
Both trips where just over 4,000 miles and took 4 months.
Like I say, I wandered a lot ...........
