Sure thing - here you go: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HHs0Mj5P10G9hpop4yrvnT8Ww4kG_UiasW3am5vzH6Y/edit?usp=sharing
Note that this is based on travelling heavily loaded, camping wild and being fully self-sufficient in remote areas. The gear is probably overkill, but very much based around worst case scenario type planning, and some money could be saved with clever sourcing/second hand bits.
The visas are based on a UK passport and should be up to date (Brexit notwithstanding...).
The route is a classic sort-of-clockwise trip from London over four years, heading east through Europe to Central Asia to India, SE Asia, China, Oz/NZ, then onto the very southern tip of Argentina, all the way up to Vancouver, across Canada and then back home again via Portugal/Spain/France. Mapping is old school, which adds some cost but more relaxed perhaps.
Budget wise, I've factored in 5 USD per day living costs, which is pretty generous once you get outside of western Europe. £11.5k for four years on the road isn't bad, when you consider all the gear. I reckon it could be done for a whole lot less than this, and I wanted to show how much it would be at the very most.
