How far do you live from your birthplace?

Damm lapdog I think that knocks me off the podium….

143 miles, or nearly 4 hours drive including the ferry crossing.

24,900 miles as the crow flies

It’s been a long time since i was there and i wish to see it again soon 🙁

Well, taking into account four dimensional space and the fact that the Earth and solar system are in constant motion, it turns out that I have travelled 206,643,882,700 miles from the fixed point in space/time in the forty two years, two months and twenty nine days since I was born.

I’m pretty darn pleased with that.

6392 miles

38 miles by road apparently, didn’t think it was that far. Was over 10,000 miles for about eight years

Wife is a slightly more impressive 1800 miles

Still nowhere near as far as some though

24,900 miles as the crow flies

It’s behind you.

Max is 20,000km or your going the wrong way

I’m still in the place I was born…Earth.

It’s behind you.

Damn!! I thought it all looked familiar!!!

18586km – it’s winter there at the moment but warmer than here….

Where did I go wrong??

Max is 20,000km or your going the wrong way

surely it depends on the direction of travel.

No world circumference is just over 40,000km. So. If it’s over 20,000km your going the wrong way

25miles. Used to be 200miles a few years ago, but back again now.

About 30 miles Warrington/Stockport

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…
