Where did he start?
I started by assuming UK or Europe as you could do most of the way by road, but then did some maths

London to Darwin (plenty points on the north coast are nearer but nobody lives there) is 8600 miles in a straight line, have to assume 12,000 miles by road (including one extended sea voyage)

That assumes an average speed of 50mph all day and all night all the time. Which is impossible (on average) even for a truck let alone a ship. So somewhere in eastern europe or asia was the start point?

c) his mate is a massive bullshitter?

I am leaning..

Very possibly.
He started from France, and said he was travelling full on all the time.

Come to think of it though, he should write some stories on here, as although he really did do it there is probably some 'embellishment'...

Either that or he started in Iceland
and it's all a fabrication.

I once walked across Iceland
They made me pay for all the pizzas I squashed and fridge tops I dented, and I'm not allowed back in so I have to shop at Morrisons now
