It's back down the alleys as I advance with some trepidation in the direction of my Nans house. With plenty more monster fences to climb and plenty of people to watch out for in this final section, it would ultimately be the arteries of the industrial revolution, the canal and railway track, that would cause me the most grief. But can I persevere and deliver what's left of my Nan's shopping list to her door step? and in the 3 hour time-frame?  Watch and find out.Thank you to everyone who signed up to watch this series. Not only are you helping me and Verity survive the year, but you're ensuring that I make more content like this for some time to come. I hope you enjoyed this little adventure. Thanks again. WHAT'S TO COME ON PATREON?: over the next couple of months I will be posting a series filmed in 2015, starring me as an annoying modern university student. This will be available to the $1 tier, along with some unused scenes from the lockdown mission. For the $6 tier, more attempts at a 5 minute mile, and more videos, photos, stories and chats with myself.

The Lockdown Delivery Mission (No roads challenge) PART 2

Part 2 of a two part series in which I attempt to weave my way through the back alleys, quarries, factories, golf courses, swamps, woods and fields of Aldridge, putting my neck on the line to deliver essential items to my Granddad, Mom and finally Nan. It's back down the alleys as I advance with some trepidation in the direction of my Nans house. With plenty more monster fences to climb and plenty of people to watch out for in this final section, it would ultimately be the arteries of the industrial revolution, the canal and railway track, that would cause me the most grief. But can I persevere and deliver what's left of my Nan's shopping list to her door step? and in the 3 hour time-frame? Thank you to everyone who signed up to watch this series. Not only are you helping me and Verity survive in this difficult year, but you're ensuring that I make more content like this for some time to come. I hope you enjoyed this little adventure. Thanks again.

Jerry Berg

you've done it again. thanks for keeping us entertained during this lockdown.

Tor Ria

Honestly thought your Nan would be mad cause you went in the brook that'd give you Weil's!

Vitalis Spiridis

Loved the mission Tom!! You walking through infested water after piercing yourself with brambles gave me anxiety tho 😅

Eilon EJL

This is totally like an adventure video game! First-person camera (mostly), a noble mission for the protagonist, there is only one true path to follow (not an open world), and Princess Nan at the end thanking you! But, more importantly, did you ever go back and get the bag you left behind in Part 1 with the milk/sterident in it?? Anyway thank you for this amazing adventure, totally worth the wait!!!

Rob Crowther

Cheers Tom. That mission reminded me of being a kid and mucking about in places you're not meant to. I hope your Grandad enjoyed his beer!

Finn Goo

Thank you very much Tom, what an awesome mission. I will keep supporting you!

Josette Reynolds

I remember being told about Weil's disease as a kid. My biggest childhood fears were Weil's disease and quick sand

Lucas Chamberlain

Hahaha loved how you just went for it and waded across the canal despite having a live audience! But couldn't you have just used that brick bridge thing in the background? I can relate to your discovery of the brook. I've spent a bit of time exploring urban creeks around my place here in Hobart (Australia), and it's always extremely interesting seeing what they're like. A great couple of videos! Hope you're staying safe in these uncertain times.

Jack Mackay-Neal

13:44, you missed an opportunity to remove your hat from your face on the map

Mountainjam05

Great job man! Now I want to mission across the Atlantic to see my Grandma in Belgium to bring her some rum and duck liver pate. Love your channel. Stay Safe!

Mountainjam05

Great job man. This makes me want to mission across the Atlantic to my Granma's in Belgium. She needs some rum and duck liver Patte. Love the channel mate!

Jordan Brodie

Well done mate! Good on your nan for dubbing it a mission accomplished with near half of her supplies compromised, sweet lady!

geowizard

Thanks Brett glad you think so!

geowizard

I know! Maybe it was a ruse to keep us out of there. A girl drowned in there years ago. You would think that would be a good enough reason!

geowizard

Thanks mate!! It gave me anxiety too..

geowizard

Mate that’s a wonderful analogy. Not to mention the 16 bit music! Yes we went back for the bag, it was still there. Thanks again for the support man!!

geowizard

It was a very childish mission really wasn’t it. And I was in my element 😂 ..thanks mate, I’m sure he did! Cheers for your support.

geowizard

Thanks so much Finn! You won’t be disappointed with what I have lined up!

geowizard

Thanks mate! I decided against that thing as it’s really hard to climb onto and carries live electricity wires. Probably wouldn’t kill you but I think the people would have frowned on that a lot more for attempting that. Sounds like some great exploration keep it up! Same to you my friend thanks again for your support!

geowizard

Ahhh man you’re a genius. What a missed opportunity.

geowizard

Hahaha please don’t attempt that in my name. I’m sure she’ll cope! Thanks mate, and thanks for supporting me. Take care.

geowizard

Haha I know, I don’t think she had the heart to tell me I’d failed after all of been through. I did another shop for her a few days later and drove it round. Much easier..

B T

Great 2nd part to the lockdown delivery diaries! Was nice to hear your nostalgic stories of the areas around your nans. Just makes me want to find the hidden treasures around where I am, unfortunately most have been found in the village! Thanks again for the entertainment Tom, supporting you on patreon never required a second thought.

jeremie

Hey, really nice video! Again thank you for the subtitles. If you don’t know it, you might enjoy geocaching (it’s an app and a “concept” really cool), I would love to see you doing your local geocaching missions!

Mindez

Great mission, hope there's many more to come (after we can get out of lockdown, of course)! I'm loving this new adventure focus to the channel!

Thomas Magor

Ummmn... where's the footage of you being hosed down?!?! I WANT A REFUND.

sgac

The most interesting thing was the way your accent got stronger when you were talking to the people at the canal.

david oldham

When I saw you crawling through those brambles, wearing gloves! I honestly gave it a cheer.

Luke Cruse

GeoWizard "Alright Lads?" The Lads "What you doin?!" GeoWizard "Haha I dunno!" Pissing myself hahaha

Juliana

Absolutely smashed it man!

Emil Skjoedt

Thanks for another great mission during these hard times. Looking forward to more videos! Greetings from Denmark, stay safe!

Ross Gall

I can only imagine the smell at the end of that

Oliver Adkins

Good job man! I was looking forward to this all week

Benjamin

I love watching you Tom! Great Work!

MattB88 _

Well worth popping my Patreon cherry for! Being from Burton and spending a lot of time in Tamworth growing up, you and this mission especially embody everything that is great about the midlands and its people. I live in Cumbria now but you really remind me of home and I love that!

Marcin

Great video. Did you end up getting your Nan that Steradent and heat treated milk?

Reid

Tom, I want to thank you again for your continued efforts to provide good subtitles for these videos. I have hearing problems and because of all the wind noise and muffled sounds, these videos would be completely incomprehensible to me without the subs. It means a lot to me that your content is accessible.

Brandon

It turns out Tom never wears gloves because he cant press the record button properly with them on. 15:55

geowizard

Fuck, that's enough to make a kid stay indoors forever!

geowizard

Thanks Ben, yeah I guess the smaller the village the less there is to discover, so much more than you would think to be explored in the shadows of urban areas.. got to climb a few fences though. Thanks again mate, you're a star!

geowizard

You're welcome Jeremie I think they're really important even for English speakers as some parts are quiet. Yeah I have done that many moons ago, maybe I could get from one to the other in the shortest distance or time possible :P

geowizard

Thanks dude glad you're liking the adventures!!

geowizard

Haha I think YouTube would definitely have taken that one down..

geowizard

I don't notice I'm doing that, I guess I try to soften my accent whilst i'm presenting because the walsall (yam yam) accent isn't the nicest on the ear.. but when talking to locals it comes back out haha

geowizard

haha cheers to that Dave! I finally got me some decent leather army ones. Only thing is it's difficult to hit that record button..

geowizard

Wish I'd have said "Social distancing ay it kid!"

geowizard

You're welcome Emil! Thank you for helping me do them! Till next time

geowizard

It wasn't pleasant Ross. That brook is nasty.

geowizard

Ah cheers Steve, hope you enjoyed!

geowizard

Thanks Ben! Thanks for supporting me it means a lot! :)

geowizard

Lovely message Matt. Stoked that I can entertain you and give you waves of midlands nostalgia simultaneously :) Cheers for supporting me!

geowizard

I did! went back 2 days later in the car and did another shop. Went back for that vile bag too :)

geowizard

Hey man you're welcome. Great to hear that they're appreciated though because it's something I also feel strongly about. Don't mention it! and thanks so much for supporting! till next time man

geowizard

That is one of the main issues!

Jenn Galt

thank you for keeping my entertained whilst i procrastinate my uni work!!! your stream inspired me to plan a solo cycle trip round europe once i graduate, thank you!!!

Danny Randell

Flippin heck, it's like every fence is made to impale lol. Love these man!

Danny Randell

Next patron mission: bareback horse ride ft. Greg

Tony Robinson

Hi Tom - this may be my favorite miniseries of yours to date! There is an almost intangible quality to your real life missions that takes me back to my childhood - the sense of play, adventure, curiosity, spontaneity... I can't put my finger on it, but it is truly something special. Keep it up, brother!

Marcin

Brilliant!

Domain of Science

Yeah I agree totally, I know exactly what you mean.

Sebastian

Quality content as usual! Did you find out, how you lost your hat? Did you try finding it? I didn't notice at first and went back in the video to check. Seems like it ended up feeding the Aldridge Swamp Monsters.

Michal Hazucha

Following the brook to its source, this is important part of my childhood. Just follow the brook in any case, through all those little waterfalls and canyons. Thanks. Your missions need trashout app.

Harrison Webbe

Hi tom! I loved the video! How far did you travel in the entire mission?

George

Amazing stuff once again! I think it's safe to say that you just do have the best youtube personality...bloody hilarious mate

Daniel C

Man this is amazing did not expect the content to be this good.

Jack Harkcom

Your hat fell of near the railroad tracks :)

coffeebean

"You survived a world woar, you're not fussy are ya?" "I am actually" Oh man, had a good laugh at that one.

LordLard

Hi Tom. New subscriber, Old man of Aldridge. Love what you do. So many familiar places from so many different angles. Richmond Hall was where my Dad spent his last days.
