Early access for all my lovely patreons. Welcome aboard newcomers.*watch in 1440p and with subtitles for full effect*  It's here. The eagerly anticipated Mission Across Scotland, featuring myself and the heroic Welsh Greg, who was hungrier than ever for straight line success after our hiccup in Wales 2020. However, with our longest, most dangerous and action packed line to date waiting patiently for us over the border, the nerves were real, even with meticulous planning and logistics.  Join us in part 1 as we prepare for take off, and the first stretch of the mission, a stretch dominated by wet feet and the unescapable presence of our biggest obstacle to date: The 95 acre Norbord MDF Factory. Would we even be able to scale it's 8ft barbed wire fence and get inside? Watch till the end to find out.

Anyone know the store link? I gotta get that poster

Wardy

François Sreeves

This is brilliant! If you get the chance to read this... 2 corrections: "Some of the feats carried out in this series and dangerous" should be ARE dangerous "Sterling Travel lodge" The town in Scotland is spelt "Stirling" If you have the opportunity to edit then brilliant but if not this is still an awesome video and was well worth the wait! Thanks

Len

fantastic first episode, can't wait for next week. I have to get that poster!

Alex M.

Yes, baby 😍

Chris E

Awesome. The only problem is I now have to wait until next week. Tell your Mum I just ordered When Skies are Grey. I apparently fall in that subset - Geowizard watcher and murder mystery reader.

Travis Willis

I already clicked like before even watching it because I already know it’s going to be great!

Mark Lamont

Looking forward to seeing North Third, frequented there many a fishing trip. Great content as always Tom, can tell you put a lot of effort in to this one!👍

Noble Vagabond

The series that has it all: mischief, comedy, suspense and apparently also poetry.

Marieke Peters

Can't wait for next week! Incredible first episode :)

Viniter

Oh my god, this is starting out SO STRONG! Really upped the stakes with this one! Can't wait for the next ep.

Well done Tom, great episode! I will get a poster as soon as possible

How much will the record be?

Bryan Kelly

Awesome episode! On the edge of my seat for the next one.

Ian Tomlinson

Tom, When the email come through saying "Mission Across Scotland" I nearly screamed. I've been looking forward to this for a long time.

Jason Pease

Yes!! I’ve been waiting so long for this! Can’t wait to see what happens! I don’t know how they’re gonna get through the factory without getting nicked.

Oliver Watt

The bond Greg and Tom have is incredible

Nick Reay

Really enjoyed that Tom. The narrating is always great. Fuming I have to wait a week!

Josette Reynolds

What a cliff hanger to end episode one on!! Amazing stuff though.

Josette Reynolds

Also do you have a monocular for looking ahead and spotting issues? I always take my monocular on my adventures

Adam Latimer

Great episode! Picked up the book off Amazon too for my gf, looking forward to it. Thanks!

Lewis Collins

The cliffhanger! I don’t know if I can wait till next week!! Great stuff Tom and Greg

Euan Marney

That cliffhanger got me a belter. The half hour flew by!

Lucas Chamberlain

To quote yourself, maaate! Editing's been done so well, that I was feeling nervous for so much of this episode! Keen for the next episode.

Mac

Just seen this and it already made my day!

Slick Silvers

So sad when it was over, but hey, I have something to look forward to next week

Scott T

How many episodes are you planning?

Drew Martin

Cliffhanger such a tease. How was that a half hour already?

Sarah McLaughlin

Hell yeah! And my grandmother loves nothing more than a British murder mystery so I'll be getting her a copy!

tacomacole

Good shit Tom! Love the content.

Sean Church

There's a typo in the disclaimer. You put 'and' instead of 'are'. Give it another read mate.

Hannah Samuels

When’s the next episode up? I’m a hungry bastard 😈 M O R E M O R E M O R E

Stuart Gilbert

Oh yes! Got a whisky, got this on, Friday night sorted! :-)

GhostPants

Just joined Patreon to watch this early. Made my Friday - Cheers!

Noam Richter

Editing is really on point! Great stuff!

Ian

Just a correction on the record you mentioned at the start; You haven't crossed the UK, you will have been the first to cross Great Britain, as that is the name of the actual island. the UK would mean you have done England and Northern Ireland too.

Kristen C

Wow, you're a legend!

Ben ________

So excited!!!!!!!! Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaauuuurrrggghhhhhuuuuhhhhhh

Charlotte

subbed just to see this early! love every video series you do.

Nathan S

Well if you see UK as one country he has crossed it from one end to the other (border to border / sea to see). Yes there are wider parts but that counts as well for his trip accross wales and norway as well...

Hannah Samuels

And “spelt” is supposed to be “spelled”, actually. Spelt is a type of flour. Now you can correct YOURself 😎

Ian

Yeah I see that perspective too. Although the UK is technically not one country. To me it's like crossing Southern Italy east to west and saying you've done the EU. I think it would just be better to say crossing the UK in a straight line requires you to cross all the member countries individually to count. This is all technically quite important world first exploration stuff, and the rules on what counts should be robust so there isn't cheating or corner cutting (literally).

geowizard

wow thanks so much man! I will definitely add that to the video. Can you send me an srt file to my emails please? other files will also do. Send to tomdavies2286@gmail.com. Can't thank you enough my friend!

geowizard

In the description now Graham thanks!

geowizard

can't divulge that Scott sorry!

geowizard

next friday Hannah! sorry it's not sooner!

Dennis Weiß

Oh hell no. Please dont tell me I need timestamps like "00:00:00,599 --> 00:00:04,160" in front of every sentence 😨 If yes, could you send me the .srt file for the english subtitles? Would make it much easier for me change them. My mail: dennisweiss96@googlemail.com (same for your upcoming episodes when they are ready, if you want 😀)

Joshua Bailey

Great video Tom it's incredible to see your editing just getting better and better. I loved the poetic recap of all your previous missions at the start. Can't wait for the next one. Huge fan of all your content

François Sreeves

I dont want to go into a debate. Let's leave it here. But according to the internet the UK uses Spelt and Spelled both whereas in the USA only Spelled!

caro lam

That Wales/England game was a cracker.

Andy Burchardt

“Kids enter free” on the side of the old abandoned manor. 😂😂😂

Greninka

My Gran lived in Dunmore before she passed, and my Dad grew up there. I spent a lot of time there as a kid. It's surreal to see you start there :)

Dexter Thompson

Classic straight line mission format. Love it. Really is such a brilliant series, can't wait for the next one :)

Daniel Forssten

I'm going to miss the old orange Garmin GPS. It's survived being tossed and soddened in untrodden lands, and has surely earned its retirement.

Liam Whelton

This place looks fantastic! Definitely an ambitious challenge but I love the dedication:) great work so far guys

Sleeping Lesson

I'm so down for a signed poster! Hopefully shipping to the US isn't too much. And the vinyl, too!

Nathan S

Well, I think the UK acts more as a country as the EU (although I am not international law person, or a historian or anything that can claim any authority on this subject). Just looking at wikipedia though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom (UK) or Britain,[note 10] is a sovereign country Although the United Kingdom is a sovereign country, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are also widely referred to as countries.[44][45] The UK Prime Minister's website has used the phrase "countries within a country" to describe the United Kingdom

Ian

Oh legally yeah they're very different, but I'm thinking more geographically and in the spirit of the challenge.

Nathan S

Also I am not sure why crossing italy would not count as crossing the EU (even if the EU was a country). I am not sure what the rules are of crossing a country (I think Greg made them up himself anyway :)) but as I mentioned before the (planned) crossings where never from the most eastern to the most western end anyway they always where from a (sea)border to a (sea) border. So yes you could do the same in Italy (and make it even count for the EU) Yes that could also mean you can make some really silly crossings in some countries, but hey I did not make the rules! :) https://imgur.com/a/gEfku5K I think the most imporant thing is we enjoy the videos :)

Dennis Weiß

Ok, halfway through with these timestamps. There are around 800 lines in this video which means 1600 timestamp in the subtitle file. Completely unestimated that and spend 10 hours of my weekend so far 😅 We really need a discord or something to organize things like that.

Theo

Thank you Tom, these really cheer me up more than you could ever know. Hopefully I can get my hands on a poster. Much love from Cardiff

Rickard Ceder

Tom, you should get a GPS mount on your arm. So you get your hands free where it's at its worst. Wonderful with a new series by the way :)

Ian

haha yeah I think those examples you've drawn are why a better set of rules are needed.

Sierra Shellabarger

I don't think I've ever been so excited for any show or video as I am for this... it's hitting me as I watch the intro and day before scenes how much this means to me :)

Sierra Shellabarger

Loved this episode! It flew by so fast. Looking forward to the next factory episode. I will 1000% order the poster and your mom's book too! I enjoy reading and that's so inspiring, I hope to one day write a book in the future!!!

viktor402

I will be making dutch subtitles following your example

viktor402

btw there are programs to download srt files from videos

Dennis Weiß

Any recommendations for that?

Harold Manson

Amazing. The "seriously pissed off" guy stressed me out so bad, lol.

Dennis Weiß

Hey Tom, I've sent you the german subtitles per mail earlier. Can't wait to watch the video together with my dad. He loves your straight-line missions but didn't learned english in school.

Alice F

I could write French subtitles as well if you want Tom!

Elliot

Recommended your mum's book to my girlfriend who in turn has recommended it to her family book club 👍

Blair Letham

Glad to see you got your ladder from my local screwfix

Derrick Wagner

Amazing first episode! I look forward to the rest of the series and especially to finding out what happens in the rest of that factory!

Paul wall

Such a awesome idea and channel, love the wales one myself, and love listening to the themes on spotify. Cant wait to see more.

Snorre Milde

I love your streams and content. However, as a Norwegian. I screamed internally when you went across that specific section of bogs in Norway. I was taught how to cross them as a boy scout and also told specifically how lethal they can be. Did you have any info on this? I would rather you stray a hundred meters off course and call it a success rather than you risking your life. Because you did. Much love, Snorre

Avery Shaw

Such a great episode, bought your mom's book for my kindle as well, can't wait to get into it

Daniel Alvares

Ever since I watched the Wales one, this series has been my favorite on YouTube for many reasons. The narration, the welcoming vibe of yourself and the adventurous spirit! I've always done the straight line tactic over the flat lands of Lincolnshire when I don't have the patience to walk home properly, so seeing this series for the first time way back when had the novelty tickle me. I'm happy you're still doing this amongst your other videos - couldn't be happier to give a pound to a stranger haha x

Hrogthar

Can't wait for the next. Absolute magic every single time.

KDB

After enjoying your content for a while, I thought it was about time I actually joined. Fabulous stuff as always. All the best!

Bearthazar

This is what I signed up for!

Alex M.

That’s amazing. I do not need it, but i love the community vibe

Cole Somma

I signed up for your Patreon after watching you for a long time. The first mission across wales is what brought me to your channel. I had to sign up so I could not only see this mission early every week but also so I could support you. I hope you keep making mission videos like this!

bryce

Who's ready??

Leo

Oi mate it's 20:00, where's part 2? You owe me a quid

Leo

Nvm
