Everybody needs an Uncle Ed what a truly amazing guy :)

Nico

Thankfull that Ed was alright after that nasty dip. Lovely video Tom, thanks for the entertainment!

Christine Monahan

Hey Tom what kind of water bladder do you use? I have a karrimor one but the water tastes really plasticky so I try not to use it....

sam collins

When when when... can't wait.

Ryan Thomas

Just as I checked this page for new content I see this comment, cant wait!

noah jenkinson

i've been checking every hour, can't wait

Jay

whoop whoop

tom davies

Straight line mission across England dropping tonight....

Gerne Hareth

Tom said in his latest video it'd be on Patreon this coming Saturday

Anders Kragh Valentin-Hjorth

when watching it one patreon there should be a button that just says 'YOUTUBE' bottom right corner of the player. if you click that it'll take you to the vid on youtube. even when unlisted.

Imraduin

Seeing rivers so polluted is one of the most saddening things in the world to me...

Andrew Way

is the straight line mission arriving soon? i saw late april / early may

exploring with ashley

Saw trailer on instagram got Patreon yesterday spent all evening watching things I hadn’t seen from the missions to different challenges from wales to tots tv love it

Aaronfrancisb

Okay mate, nice one. Keep up the adventures, love them, man

tom davies

Thanks Jan, I'll pass that on to him!

tom davies

Welcome Aaron! You will only obtain the links to these vids through Patreon but they are unlisted youtube videos

Jan Are Melgård

What a video. Your uncle Edward is an absolute legend mate!

Kevin Skocypec

Having just had issues from swallowing ocean water in Mexico, I am happy he avoided illness!

Aaronfrancisb

New patreon here. Is there any way I can watch this through YouTube? Or does it have to be on patreon?

ricardo silvente

Awesome, can’t wait!

tom davies

he is indeed! he somehow managed to avoid all illness. Iron stomach as well as iron grit!

tom davies

insane wasn't it! what are the chances..

tom davies

yeah i think he panicked a bit too and forgot to stay straight

tom davies

I think that amount of footage would bore most people, the editing really transforms the footage

tom davies

haha I thought he meant splashes! Never thought he would have actually gone in!

tom davies

He was fine thankfully! definitely could have gone worse. Walkie Talkies only seem to have a range of 1 or 2 miles but it's something worth looking into!

tom davies

It's getting there Ricardo, around 10 days left till release!

We need an Uncle Ed wellness update. Is he Ecoli free?

Basden Clark

I couldn’t believe it when he saved the paddle, bag, and kayak after flipping over. This was a really fun one to watch. Lots of laughing and cheering on my end.

Zac Vernon

That capsize footage is probably one of the most entertaining scenes yet, was literally shouting at the laptop! Good Job Lads!

alan doyle

good stuff to yis both. looking forward to the next tom and edventure!

Ewoud van Aalst

The fact Ed powered through after all that is amazing

violentbob

oh poor ed :') he did give me a good laugh though

Adam L'Archevêque

Great video ! I'm glad Ed is alright. This will make a good story to recall. I just want to share a bit of advice about descending rapids (for the next time). You should always move faster or slower than the water (by paddling forward or backward) to keep directional control. When you move at the same speed of the water, the water decide where you go, usualy straight in an obstacle. Easier said than done !

ahoneybadger3

That was such a good watch. Ed is a ledge.

David

Have you considered posting the unedited video from the kayak? Would be fun

Digsy’s Dinner

The smirk from Tom when Ed said “I don’t think I’m gonna get wet you know” 😂

Jonathan Kane

honestly never laughed more in years.

Dan

Loving it , keep it up Tom !!!

Hannah Samuels-Lyons

Kayak - gone Oar - gone Bag - gone Leg muscle - gone Ecoli water - swallowed Uncle Ed: THE GO-PRO!

Hannah Samuels-Lyons

Poor Ed. That could’ve gone terribly wrong. Did he get poorly from the water after this? It might be worth investing in long range walkie-talkies for this and other Ed/Tom videos, just so you can check in on each other. Would also work well for talking to Verity if you can’t get signal to get a message through in bigger missions

Lyndsay Jones

Well done Ed!!

ricardo silvente

Great job Ed! Glad he was alright after that crazy dip Tom, any updates on the newest straight line mission editing?

George Parr

Some of the funniest footage I’ve ever seen

tom davies

hahaha I somehow doubt that! thanks Josh hope you enjoyed

tom davies

Thanks Huw! yeah he had a good life jacket on thank god! Yeah shame about the pub, probably should have checked the times before hand though haha. Oh thanks for the tip! not massively into board games but I've heard that one's good

tom davies

Cheers Ant, tell them to open earlier next time!

tom davies

I reckon that's the most relieved Ed's ever been haha

tom davies

haha they really were. A couple of of those comical moments were semi planned, but others very much not!

tom davies

Cheers Stuart! ahh yeah that is unfortunate. You'll just have to gouge on them when you come back!

tom davies

Cheers Matt, hope you enjoyed!

tom davies

haha thanks Jack :)

tom davies

I shall buy him a pint!

tom davies

thanks Shaun, plenty more to come!

tom davies

he is. can't believe he soldiered on!

tom davies

I'll pass the message on. Thanks man!

tom davies

haha cheers Tim, I think we peaked in that intro

tom davies

you're most welcome LJ

tom davies

Cheers Dan!

tom davies

haha sounds like a day of indulgence!

Josh White

After all Ed was going through and you running 16 miles I was going to vicariously enjoy a pint with you. I might have been more dissapointed than you when the pub was closed. Anyway good on you two.

Huw Ramsay

Nice work Ed, determination and balls of steel to carry on after that I'd be cacking it.. did he have a life vest on? If not, deffo a must next time (have someone sponsor you a self inflating one if you can). Nice to see my local area, Burton, a shame the pub was closed as it's a proper pub. Tom, spotted you have ticket to ride - get yourself a copy of Carcasonne if you don't already have it.

Ant K

Great watch, and a mission to my hometown! Love it!

Alec

Oh I love that feeling of coming to the finish line on fumes. Makes it all worth it.

EJL

The first few minutes of the video were hilarious. And then later Uncle Ed into the drink! What a rollercoaster ride! And with a fantastic ending. Great storytelling as always.

Stuart Duncan

That was epic. You are both legends. Also, that pork pie looked quality… haven’t been able to find them here in the U.S. (other than ones shipped from waitrose and totally stale).
