3000+ miles from birthplace but I left when I was 4 months and now live 5 miles from where I was raised
now live 15 miles away from my birthplace
A bit over 100 miles. Would love to live at home (edge of the Lakes), but not really any jobs for me there.
Depending on which route you take on Google maps its either 250, 256 or 281 miles from Dunfermilne to Wakey
203 miles according to Google.
120 miles. Other half is about 6.
(Miles, not age. That would be weird...)
0 miles. Still live in the same place for 27 years. 8)
75 or so.
For a while it was a bit further, then closer, but I have been where I amnow for the last 11 years.
92 miles.
Would be interesting to do an average of stw distances posted.
6777 miles.
5 miles from the hospital. About 600m from the house I grew up in.
Lived away for 9 years and never thought I'd be back, but the OH (who is from about 100 miles away) got offered a job down here.
I was born upstairs and I've been living here for 92 years.
Born in a British Military Hospital at Munster, BAOR, Germany. Now live in Bristol.
500 miles or so.
17,403.35 km or 10,813.94 miles roughly
I'm not reading 5 pages of numbers to find out if any other nerd's pointed this out but you can't be that far from your place of birth unless you were born in or are currently in space.
Nor can I be bothered to figure out how far it is through the earth in a straight line - it's late..
@molgrips I was going around the surface, the sensible way to measure it (unless everyone else is correcting for the curvature of the earth) The earth has a circumfrance of 40,000km (ish)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth
Diamter of 12,500km (ish)
So with tunnelling the I guess we could call it about 12,500 but as the crow/plane flies it's about 17,400km

Google maps give you a nice tool to measure the straight line distance between 2 points.
slow day..
discounting those doing extra laps of the planet and counting distance around the outside not through the middle...
