    You forgot to add, ". . . in the wrong forum".

    This belongs in Geography, surely?

    But I'm going to hazard a guess that the answer is Lamb's Head to Torr Head, 665km by the shortest route suggested by Google maps.

    (Note that Google doesn't default to the shortest route by distance, but the shortest route by time. If you look at the cycling and walking options that Google suggests, they are shorter, the shortest being a walking route of 563km. It takes as nearly as possible a straight-line route. But it uses by-roads and would take longer to drive.)

    Not a matter for discussion in this forum.

    There is likely to be a Geography forum somewhere.

    Thread closed.
