I think I preferred the challenge of finding drinkable water sources this time around, but I'm going to bring one on an upcoming adventure for sure!

Private sorry Tom!

Have thought about this many a time. It will come ;)

Can’t wait for the review video 🤓

Great content as always Tom! Really enjoyed this new format. I've always wondered, though, why you don't bring along some kind of light water filter like a lifestraw? Then you could drink from the ample rivers/streams in cases when you can't find a pub (or forget to ask for water lol). Is it a weight issue or just an added part of the challenge to find water?

I see you dad-jokes game is increasing ;)

fantastic

Travis Renfrow

Absolute banger of a format. This and the No Roads challenges are two of my favorites now. Looking forward to more in the future!

Jean Voyage

Good stuff 🦍❤️

Tom

What's your strava account boss?

I believe i speak for many of us Tom when i say i would love to see this format on a regular basis; perhaps with differing locations as end points too if you and Verity can allow for such a thing! Seeing if you could do this whilst trying to get to a different town would be a good test. Really enjoyed it regardless

Tom, I was watching an old straight line mission yesterday and had a thought. I know that you've had difficulty finding good lines in the local area that you haven't already "mastered" the optimal line for. So, why not a "perfect circle" mission? Draw a circle on the map, follow it exactly. Same rules as for straight, but it could be placed in much more interesting places. You could start with say, a 25 miler, and work up to a 50, 75, 100 miler. An intersting challenge would be that you can't rely on your internal "i'm walking in a straight line" so you risk drifting off more often. It could also be good for working out the stats: how close to 100% identical total area can you get to?

The funny thing is I didn't actually order that for myself. I ordered a pint of Corona on draught and Verity's friend wanted it so I did my fourth good deed of the day and made the swap!

tom davies

You got it buddy ;)

Dennis Schissler

Another excellent adventure and the reason this is my only Patreon subscription - well worth it!

Dustin Geddes

A beautiful gift after a long week, thanks Tom!

Kenneth Hebert

Loving the creativity you have been exhibiting with these missions. Absolute legend.

Lewis Drabble

Tom, of all the pints you could've had to celebrate, you choose Carling?

LordLard

Great work Tom, look forward to the review video :-)

As someone that grew up in Penkridge, it was a rough watch, seeing you decide to go under the motorway via the 449 knowing you’d have to cross the river 😂

Trym Sørsdal

Excellent series!! Enjoyed this so much, and would love to see you do one of these multiday as well. Honestly I just want more!! Well done man!

Anders

Hearing you say HUGE forest makes me giggle as a Swede :D

Dominic John

Wow gg due. What an adventure. If you’re wanting to do this type of thing again, we the viewers would love to see it. So original!!

Lucinho

I think a guy named Robert Plant was looking for that same bridge! Loved the reference, great adventure :)

Stuart Duncan

Have been excitedly waiting for part 2 and boy did it deliver! I think these are a fantastic new addition to your straight line missions, primarily because it adds an extra dimension of the unknown for you Tom. With the straight line missions (which are bloody hard for other reasons) you at least get some idea of what you’re facing (fallen pines… ahem), whereas with these missions your sort of “sight reading” like a musician playing a piece for the first time. Super fun! Can’t wait for the next one.

Guilherme Fonseca

I quite enjoyed this new kind of adventure. It also seems to be a bit easier to fit with your new parents duties than the longer ones, while also being quite exciting

Emanuele Scintu

Loved this new series! I felt it had everything it needed in it, the uncertainty of where you are and where to go, the navigating through the fields and foothpaths, overcoming obstacles, definitely a banger. Looking forward to the next one mate
