Old School Mission With Welsh Greg #1 - Aldridge to Lichfield
🕑 Added 2021-01-25 16:39:39 +0000 UTC**Subtitles still not ready (thanks again rev) so apologies if you can't hear or understand our mumbling at times. They should be ready by tomorrow though if you'd rather hold out**
In December 2019, Greg and I decided to recreate one of the classic missions we used to embark on when we were teenagers. Partly because I needed the footage for the mission across Europe videos, but also because it was bound to be a laugh. Historically these missions usually involved throwing on some old trainers and crap clothes, stuffing a fiver in our pockets and walking east. Over time we learned that no matter where we went, something fun or interesting would always happen. The missions died out as we matured slightly and became old enough to do adult things like go on nights out or on holiday, but we were hoping that all these years later we could rekindle some of the magic that once was, without feeling too ridiculous.
If we were going to do it, we might as well do it properly, so you can expect to see us mission our way through the likes of quarries, fancy golf courses, a stately home, an abandoned holiday park and much more (as well as your usual farms, hedges and fences.) We even get served a steak bake by an admirer of the channel at our mandatory visit to Greggs Bakery in Lichfield.
You're watching Part 1 of 2 (Aldridge to Lichfield), featuring a tricky passage through a fortified catholic school, a ridiculous mission through a golf course with a six figure annual membership, and an unusual visit to Greggs.

Great mission! It's so true what you guys said that just a few KM from home you can do a great mission. Sure it's fun to go galivanting far away from home, but there's a lot of adventure in ANY area!
I'd really appreciate some unedited geoguessr. There must be many recordings you throw away that we would still enjoy.
You got featured by one of the most viewed streamers on Twitch! I was in Ludwig's stream and we watched over 2 hours of your channel, including the entire Norway mission! He also posted a YouTube video of him watching one of your record attempts. His channel is just Ludwig if you're interested. :)
Hey Tom. I was wondering if you could do just a general Q&A for us here on Patreon?
Born and raised in Lichfield so weird seeing people I watch online walking around places I know! Great stuff mate, looking forward to Part 2!

They've just been added Graham! sorry it wasn't sooner, Rev had a mare. Think it's our mumbly speech that they struggle with.

I believe we are yes. Just in case we get it right! We did it once and it was hilarious.

Can't wait for part 2. Are you randomly greeting people with random names at some points? Or am I going mad ?
Appreciate you adding subtitles - for people who are deaf or hard of hearing they are needed to enjoy content and for people like me who just like them they are a huge added benefit. Thanks for doing the right thing for everyone!
December 2019, what a time to be alive
Cheers mate you got me off my arse and out into the countryside. Didn't think I'd get so much satisfaction from a bit of adventure but it's addictive. Thanks again for everything, best thing I've watched probably ever and just signed up here to try and repay you. All the best

Just the mere utterance of 'pub' in this video almost brought tears to my eyes...

You're right, 6 figure might be a stretch. 5 figure might be more accurate. I remember hearing it's a good few thousand. I know! I was in there yesterday and she was in there! ..but she didn't recognise me with my mask on..

Is that a hyperbole or is the golf course really that expensive??? Also crazy seeing someone who knew your channel while on a mission, that's hilarious. Can't wait for the next episode
tom davies
You did indeed. I cannot completely garantee that he wasn't talking about himself.

Did I just hear Greg say “masturbating in the classroom”😂
