I raced my straight line missioning rivals across the Isle of Man
🕑 Added 2024-03-02 21:30:12 +0000 UTCApologies for the late hour folks!
As per usual there were software issues, despite the new PC.
Anyway, I hope this one is worth the wait.
Watch with subtitles and in 4K
Here it is. The first of it's kind: a straight line mission race across a country. Fine, an independent British crown dependency.
A year ago I agreed to race Archie and Adam Fieldhouse in return for their kind gesture to let me go first in Wales. In December it happened. 10 miles across mountains, freezing lakes and farmland, full of excitement, drama, pain and even an angry local.
The question is, who will come out on top? With more fitness (than Archie) and more straight line experience I fancied myself as favorite, but anything can happen in a race...

Your mistakes made it more entertaining. Kudos Tom!
Rémy Hauspie
Awesome! I want a rematch!
Alina Fecheta
Tom, please, for the love of all that’s holy get a lanyard! Or a fannypack, anything to free your hands while climbing!
Jack Piggott
Amazing mate, out of interest what new PC do you have? Currently in the market and not sure where to begin!
Jason Kenway
I loved it Tom. I do think that these races should be done on the same line, you were definitely at a disadvantage on your line in comparison.

rematch!

I've waited for this one! And I keep looking forward to the next big straight line mission.
Ben Whiting
Got to hand it to you man, not only are you fitter than I will ever be, but you have an uncanny knack of winning people over with honesty and humility. You took that chap (who was an absolute gent) from "well I don't give a shit about that" and threatening to call the police to giving you tips on how to get down to the bottom.
Thea Haugland
Oh I have been waiting for this one! My boyfriend and I met you when you were done with this one, at the restaurant you sat down at. Just wanted to say that it was awesome to meet you and that we regret everyday we didn't buy you both a drink.
Stuart Duncan
I hear you. But pride or being proud shouldn’t be just related to winning. That line was gnarly and one thing you didn’t have was another human to tactically analyze each situation and keep you sharp. They did! I think most hardcore adventurers would have given up, but you kept going. And now you’ve set up a beautiful rivalry. Maybe you don’t feel proud, and I respect that, but I bet you your community is proud of you.

Can we start a GoFundMe for Tom's balls? That was unreal man, congrats on another epic adventure! Ireland next surely?

That's the annoying thing I really didn't, I feel like we need a rematch.. Great fun though!

Madly enough bananas are the one food I can't stomach! they make me wretch uncontrollably. I tried to eat one in the car afterwards and decided cramp was the better option.
GrischaRomen
Thanks, Tom. This was hilarious. And I felt you suffering from this cramps. I use magnesium sticks on every hike.

Another absolute belter, Tom. Fantastic watch. And well done for talking that bloke around at the end.
Daniel Burt
Fantastic video!
Miller
This was great!
Stuart Duncan
Beautiful! You did yourself proud.
Ryan Cain
Tom you madman! This was amazing. Hope to see a rematch sometime in the relative near future

For us Americans wondering, there are no snakes in the Isle of Man. I live in Kentucky, and if this would have been me doing a similar mission here, midway through you would see me running and screaming with about a dozen snakes attached to various parts of my body flapping in the wind behind me.
Dan Melone
Switch routes and do a rematch! That’s the only way to truly measure this against each other (maybe give the home owner a heads up, possibly a nice bottle of wine too). Bring bananas this time.
