The 3 day solo winter hike that changed my life for the better

Fan help for a couple of silly GeoWizard compilations...

How's it going Patreons?

I'm gonna make a couple of compilations this month to schedule for when the new baby arrives. (Due March 6th!)

I'm thinking:

- "Every Bear Grylls impression by GeoWizard"

and...

- "Every time GeoWizard sang a song"

I've managed to find a few examples from over the years, but ...

Attempting to cook Christmas dinner in the woods with Uncle Ed

Evening $4 crew!

As promised here is the second adventure in little over a week! hope you enjoy this silly offering. I recommend using subtitles on this one if not only for the first 5 minutes (a hilarious bit of organic comedy at my nan's house)

Uncle Ed's always coming up with funny little ideas for adventures, and this was his l...

Our best Christmas mission yet? [annual mission with Welsh Greg '25]

Evening $4 crew!

It's your annual Christmas mission with our good friend Welsh Greg, and this one shaped up to be a belter. It has it all; fresh unexplored countryside, gorgeous sleepy villages, a mission through a stately home, hearty food and ale, and the friendliest, most generous of country folk you could ask for.

We had a gre...

The next windows background that appears, I travel to

Afternoon all Patreons and a very happy new year! I'm back into work mode now after a very pleasant Christmas break, and here is my first offering. Early access to tomorrow's YouTube adventure vid.

$4 Patreons. You haven't had a video for 6 weeks. The Austria editing ended up taking over pre Christmas, so you will get 2 videos in the next...

My Austrian "Tenner in my pocket" adventure takes an unexpected turn (and doesn't end well)

Afternoon patreons! It's a day late but still a day early, and a whopper to boot.

**SUBTITLES RECOMMENDED AS SOME SPEECH IS IN GERMAN**

My Austrian adventure continues and concludes with this hefty final episode, and rest assured that things start to hot up. The interactions increase, as does the foraging, and I even avoid...

I stuffed a tenner in my pocket and set off into the Austrian countryside

Evening all patreons! here's some glorious early action for you in the form of this year's TIMP.

The most relaxing travel series you're ever going to watch (on this channel at least) is back by popular demand, except this time things up a...

Joining Luke for his final 13 miles (having ran 2,350 from the northernmost tip of Norway!)

Morning all! Some of you will have seen my Instagram post last week - here's the little accompanying video.

A few months ago a young lad from my running club called Luke, who had only taken up running 2 years prior, decided he was going to run 4000km from the northern most tip of Norway all the way to London - something that had never be...

A delightful, autumnal stroll east ...with nothing in my pocket

A couple of weeks ago I was trying to decide which out of my long list of $4 Patreon adventure ideas I would film the next day. I toiled with the decision on and off for a few of hours, but in the end I decided to sack them all off and simply follow my heart instead. The result was an idea as old as time, as simple as it gets, and as tried as te...

The best adventure you’ll ever have is right on your doorstep [3 days in Snowdonia]

Evening Patreons! I haven't died. This just took me longer to make than planned, but hopefully it's worth it!

(good subtitles available)

I'm on a quest to inspire the nation to fall in love with the great outdoors, but it dawned on me recently that I might be failing. After all, not everyone wants to be chased by a farmer or get lost...

SCOTLAND 2 BONUS FOOTAGE #2 (DAY 2+3)

Good evening all Patreons!

Here are the last remnants of what could be the final British straight line mission from me, in the form of all the bonus footage from days 2 & 3 from the Scotland mission with Marcus. Includes all noteworthy / amusing clips that didn't quite make the cut, conversations with our support guy Steve, and other...

Can I buy a beer in "Beeropolis" using only money found on the floor on the way there?

Is there anything more pure and fun than hunting for treasure?

Today, inspired by Beau Miles's latest video, I go on a coin hunt. Last time it was just roundabouts, but this time I take things up a notch. Starting in Lichfield and loosely following the path of an ancient roman road called Ryknild street, my aim is to find as many coins o...

Panic in the sewers of London [London no roads #3]

Here it is folks. Thanks so much for your patience. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

My most ambitious/mental urban adventure to date draws to a reluctant close, but I've saved all the best content till last. My ticket to the southern edge of Greater London is now via the Ravensbourne river, a fascinating but sometimes filthy semi-s...

SCOTLAND #2 BONUS FOOTAGE #1 (PRE MISSION + DAY 1)

Good afternoon Patreons!

Sorry it's so late (London editing was mammoth) but here is your first chunk of bonus footage from the Scotland mission with Marcus.
Includes some pre mission scenes and all the noteworthy / amusing clips from day 1 that didn't quite make the cut.

Important Update: For those who missed my YouTube post...

Collections are here!

Just letting you know that I've organized pretty much all of my video based content into categories or "Collections".
People have complained in the past about how difficult it was to browse these videos, the older ones being especially fiddly to find. Well now you need not worry. They're all nicely organized in groups and in chronological or...

Things get silly as I enter the heart of the city [London no roads #2]

Welcome new patreons! Here’s part 2 🤪

This unhinged urban adventure continues with part 2 of 3, and we’re about to enter the beating heart of the city. Things have already been trickier and slower than expected up until this point, but with fence riddled schools, apartment complexes, and construction sites standing between me and th...

I attempted to walk across Greater London without using a single road

It's finally here; The London No Roads Mission, and it's not for the faint hearted.

Today I finally get to show you my maddest mission to date. A daring raid on a city of 9 million people, 32 vertical miles and countless tall spiky fences. It's Birmingham times 10, and I honestly didn't know if it would be possible going in. A few miles ...

I entered an ultra marathon where you literally race the sea (and it was brutal)

Afternoon $4 Patreons!

Last month I decided to take part in a brilliant but brutal long distance event called "Race the tide" in which runners must reach (and cross) two estuaries before the tide comes in. I was keen to prove to myself that I could not only beat the tide but go much quicker than I did the previous year in the mud-fest th...

It's time to find out if Marcus, a geeky chess teacher from Surrey can finally end his disastrous string of straight line mission attempts with ...

Can Marcus overcome his fear of heights and keep this life changing mission alive?

THUMBNAIL COMING TOMORROW

*GOOD SUBTITLES AVAILABLE*

Welcome back everyone to an adventure that sticks two fingers up to skepticism, and laughs in the face of common sense. Can a geeky, bumbling chess teacher who hates getting his feet wet overturn years of failure and apparent delusion by achieving one of th...

Can I cross Scotland with the "laughing stock" of straight line missions?

Evening all Patreons! Do we have a treat for you?

Yep, you read correctly. This year I scrapped my solo mission plans and made the bold decision to team up with Marcus the chess teacher to see if I could help him put a winning end to the never ending tragedy that is his straight line mission saga. Was I mad to think that all he needed was...

Running north into the countryside (ultra marathon time trial gone wrong)

Afternoon $4 Patreons! hope we're all keeping well.

Last week, in preparation for my upcoming Ultra Marathon, I decided to get some miles in the legs and run north from Lichfield via a custom made route made up of lovely countryside trails. 32 miles was the distance and 8 hours was how much time I had before my pub meal up in Mapleton, De...

Can I cross a mountain range without leaving 420m above sea level?

Morning Patreons! Here's the early release for my latest adventure. Hope you like it.

You know those curvy orange lines on the map that indicate altitude and steepness? Well what if I tried to follow one? My map tells me I'm going to be passing over farmland, ravines as I straddle the feet of big Welsh mountains, but will the terrain and...

SEGMENT HUNTER #2 [Attempting to TOP four more obscure leaderboards]

Evening $4 Patreons!

Last summer I went on a quest to be crowned king of four obscure, seldom trodden Strava segment leaderboards, and I'd say it was a roaring success. So, we're doing it again, but this time I'm heading south-east into the lovely countryside around Swinfen and Whittington, tackling four more curious segments. They inclu...

How straight can I walk with just a map? I cross the Pennines to find out.

This is a 24 hour Early access release for all paying patreons
Subtitles available!

For my 9th straight line mission, I've gone old school. Instead of a GPS system I'll be following nothing but an Ordnance survey map. I won't even be using a compass (because I forgot it).
The task is to cross the spine of England; the Penn...

Abandoned canal exploration with Uncle Ed

Afternoon $4 crew!

As promised, today we explore the eerie remnants of one of Britain's oldest industrial canals.
The Lichfield Canal was completed in 1797, abandoned in 1954 and subsequently filled in and forgotten. Recently there has been a big movement to restore the canal to it's former glory, and while certain sections have taken ...

A 28 mile race against time in unexplored* Welsh mountains (with a very naughty start)

Good morning $4 Patreons!

Last weekend I decided to brave the cold and go for a run through the mountains, starting near Llangollen in North Wales and ending in the village of Rhydymwyn, mostly following the famous Offa's Dyke footpath.

Things didn't get off to a great start when the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct was closed for constructi...

The "Blindfolded and Stranded" review video - all the right and wrong decisions (+ more)

***please don't crank your speakers up at the start. I did a silly joke without thinking of the potential ramifications :P

In this video we take a look at all the right and wrong decisions I made during the epic 32 mile adventure I filmed in late 2024.
I also discuss a few other interesting bits of insights &...

Blindfolded and Stranded [Part 2]

Here you are Patreons! Sorry for the lack of thumbnail this evening. Just been out on an adventure and now have to whizz back out to watch a David Bowie tribute act! Poor me ay?
Will do the thumbnail tomorrow morning.

Blindfolded and Stranded! Can I find my way home using no map, compass or main roads?

Good evening Patreons! here's a treat for you this fine Saturday eve. Part 1/2

Subtitles available

I'm known mostly for two things: My ability to hop hedges and my ability to figure out (virtually) exactly where I am. But what would happen if we combined these two talents? How would I fare if I were blindfolded and dumped ...
