I went hunting for coins on busy roundabouts (and got attacked by a pheasant)
🕑 Added 2023-06-07 10:14:14 +0000 UTCInspired by Beau Miles who did this in his native Australia with some success, I set off on a 10 mile run through the countryside, aiming for 5 big (and quite dangerous) roundabouts.
Barely anyone sets foot anywhere near these roundabouts and they rarely get cleaned up, so the theory is that years worth of relentless traffic is bound to fling a few goodies into the gravel. However I was faced with another issue; wildly overgrown footpaths that due to my time restraints sadly cut the journey short. It was on these footpaths that I was viciously attacked by a protective pheasant, but could I salvage the day with a find?

The content of your videos is brilliant as always. That pheasant part cracked me up so much. 😂

The ending… priceless.
I completely forgot about the pheasant part from the title until it happened and man was that funny! Still though, the state of our footpaths / rights of way is actually pretty bad. I planned out a whole "legal" (i.e. not questionable) straight line mission across my county, basically just crossing using proper rights of way, so only straight in the sense of my start and end points, but when I actually did some reccy's at key points I found that so many paths were unmaintained, overgrown or the council had decided to close them and not offer alternatives. Made it impossible to do without massive increases in distance, so I effectively gave up doing any more of it, which is a shame.

I sub to the patreon and immediately see Tom getting attacked by a pheasant. This is 4 dollars well spent.

There you go, provoking birds 🤣🤣
Verity is an extremely lucky woman. Not many blokes would do that for their other half!
