.....based on average speed, assuming it didn't use public transport, hitch a lift or use roller skates and it took the most direct route. Oh, and it didn't have a rest or take a toilet break.

Bearing in mind that the average speed of a tortoise is 0.02 mph and the distance between John O Groats and Lands End is 839.1 miles, it'd take 41955 hours or 1748.125 days or 4.79 years of non stop walking!
Ah sorry, thats using roads, not the most direct route - hope it gives you an idea though

Can it be picked up by a tern and flown?
PS - Where does a tortoise get roller skates?

It would die before it got there, squashed under the wheels of a Eddie Stobart truck, and eaten by scavengers as road kill. Sorry to be the giver of such bad news, but thats life. (Or death in your tortoise's case.) â

What do you mean? An African Tortoise, or a European?
