The key is step 20.

:D

LOLOL!

That's brilliant :D.

Well, that is one way to attempt it on a low budget I guess.

At least it's not a toll road.

Bizarrely it makes you go past the south west tip of Cornwall and carry on for a fair few miles more to get to France. Not only is it mad, it's vindictive.

Welp, gotta follow the google map. Don't wanna get cute with it and wind up at the Ivory Coast. *puts on water wings*

That's funny.

Um...that's nice and all, but I live on the north side, and these directions start in the south side. I assume the directions for me are totally different?

Google needs to be hxxp'ed?

Of course didn't you see that banner ad for Porn?

Well it is the most common swimming channel

I have to laugh that someone did the math here :)
