Shannon Coggins, Theo Simon and their daughter Rosa, 19, tried to avoid planes completely during their 10,000-mile (16,000km) journey from Somerset.

However, they were forced to take a flight when their travel options ran out in South East Asia.

Rosa said: “We’re going to be going back the same way.”

The family, who gave up flying in 2002 “because of its effect on the climate”, left home on 16 August to travel to Sydney for the wedding of Ms Coggins’ sister on 28 December.

“On the way here we had to take one flight and it was really annoying,” said Ms Coggins.

She added that they would attempt to travel on a “boat or a sailing yacht” from Darwin, Australia, to Dili in East Timor, which was the stretch they had to fly on their outward journey.
