Tom, thank you

Peter Creek

Get in Tom, I’m absolutely stoked for this episode

ZackC__

Get some sleep man (: lol

Alarm

Huzzah!

Shelby Ruettiger

i hope duracell or energizer watches this and sends you batteries for life

geowizard

I will. Zack. I just know there's a mistake in there somewhere, but I will.

SexySpongebobFeet

woah mate, that scene with Tom twerking was class

Michael Caplan

mate, you're a pretty legit documentary filmmaker at this point. congrats!

ZackC__

"Perfect is the enemy of the good".... Or something like that (;

Jimmyisawkward

Where in Washington does it look like that? Obviously not western Washington or Spokane area, somewhere in the south or something? I’ve never seen something like that here.

Tarnafiti

Haha I love that teleport over the railway track

Theo

CONGRATULATIONS TOM

Josh Sucher

Train track was the best bit. I also love how much effort you put into the fake line for the map view! Congratulations :))

Caly

unreal!!!

Tim Canty

Definitely a success, just top tier entertainment!

Ioan Griffiths

Brilliant! Tom your an absolute legend!

Ethan Brier

You covered every metre, only stopping for a real emergency. Success in my book any day

David Fitch

What an episode, had me in stitches😂 what a successful mission, you completed all of the line, well done lads❤️

Rosie Shotton

Brilliant Tom, such a great video as ever. Love your videos so much, well worth waiting up to see. Best of luck with the next adventure. God bless Verity for bringing you beers, what a real one!

Otto Taylor-Rickard

I think more a reference to the colour palette in that moment

Josette Reynolds

Awesome stuff. I hope there are more and you haven't really retired. Also you should take a monocular on future missions for spying ahead

squid's don't have ankles

loved this man, but please make sure you get a satphone and new gps system before the next one

Tyler Wrage

Loved it, Tom. Nearly brought a tear to my eye at the end, you've done a great job in making your viewers feel invested in the journey. Can't wait to see what is in store!

James M

Testicles dipped and Railway line magically teleported across. Signs of a good trip.

Tom Hughes

Fantastic effort! Such an achievement. Well done to you all

Mark Furniss

Great series. Well done to you Ben and verity. I believe it was a success to.

Reece Souter

I can't lie that fall near the very end was so funny

Thomas Gill

great great episode, hats off to the welsh scenery, and bless verity for the pints at the end, i really felt that.

Jack Marris

Get in!!!! Well done man!!

ML Travels

That teleportation method was amazing!??! Never seen anything like it ;)

James Hefel

Hi Tom, have you ever considered bringing a collapsible walking stick along with you, potentially to help keep strain off your ankles in ravines and such or just add some extra support in necessary times? Any reason why not? Just wondering.

Joshua Mayhew

What am inspiring journey! Congrats to you both! Did you ever consider revisiting the aggy farmer to explain yourself more?

Victor Löthner

Well done Tom and congratulations to another completed mission! I hope this is not the last one but understand if you are tired of farmers by now. I hope you will venture out on more missions in the future. Maybe a country with fewer farms or just a series where you travel around like in "how to not travel Europe" a personal favourite.

Bryan Kelly

Get in, the closing scene got me hyped! Can't wait to see what you do next.

Nahiko Road

easily a success mate, fantastic series and well done to you, ben and verity

William

Congrats man! This has been the best one yet!

Link Elmore

Wales done and dusted. Success at last.

Shane Ewing

The music and editing makes the mood shift drastically and I love it. Beginning of montage: 🕺🕺🏃🏃🕺🕺 Ten seconds later: 💢🤕 death would be preferable to this ⚠️😠 Then back to: 🕺🕺🏃🏃🕺🕺

Kalypsø

We have witnessed the first (and successful) attempt to teleport through the railway track in a completely straight line. Congrats for this epic success, guys! Definitely a “get in” moment.

Kevin Skocypec

Incredible mate. Thank you for this - is there anyway we can convince you to do another (or something similar)? :)

Owen

"We're getting out of it. We're getting out of it. We're getting out of it." lol Tom, Ben, Verity, thank you SO much for this. What a start to 2022 :)

Archie

Excellent work mate to you and the gang! Looking forward to more straight line missions to come if all things pan out!!!

Mrein

Get in Tom and Ben! Congratulations!

Sandeep Kumar

This was insane team, you nailed it

Nick

Another absolute triumph of a series, Tom. Really some of the best there is on YouTube. Loved it.

Adam Simpson

Congrats both. Amazing effort. Scotland again???

Cleverly Blonde

Awesome and congratulations! I hope you'll consider map+compass as emergency (I realise the GPS tracks the line, but in cases where it fails I think the good old stuff would have saved you the tracking about to find Verity?) and perhaps a walking stick, both for the ankle but also to prod marshes and such, or even as improvised handle to crossings...

Anthony Raccuia

Congrats in finishing! absolutely loving the content. First time patreon subscriber just so I could see the content a day early! gotta say Im surprised you don't at least have a compass with you. Could have saved you a lot of hassle this go around for something so compact and cheap.

Hillfort Games

I think I speak for everyone when I say this, mate; GET IN!

David Verret

Is that a trail camera at 14:38?

Michael Znidarsic

If you guys chose to hang them up now and never attempt another straight line, you'd walk away having pioneered an entirely new feat, and no one could say you didn't leave it all on the moors of Britain and go out on a high note. But we are all so stoked to see you and Greg kick Scotland's ass or do the first uninterrupted Wales route. Congrats Tom, Ben, and Verity!

Sebastian Huerta

ill take it for a successful trip, congrats!

Kittenz

I'd consider that a success. Are you going to attempt Scotland again when the pandemic is over? Last time COVID restrictions were what caused the failure of the mission.

Bill Hatfield

Success. Congratulations. This has been so enjoyable to watch! Thanks.

David Winter

An immense effort all round from Ben, Verity & your good self. I loved this series - both gripping & inspiring in equal measure. May the YouTube algorithm gods keep driving more new viewers your way. This deserves to be seen by a huge audience

Oliver Handlykken

Congrats on your second straight line! ! Best original content on the internet, for sure

geowizard

I was thinking the eastern areas. Is that a complete misfire? 😅

geowizard

I have considered it, might send him something in the post. Worries he might yell at me and tell me the take the videos down 😂

Dion Peters

Well done Tom, Ben and Verity. In my book Wales is the second country conquered, along with Norway. Now, if you attempt Scotland again next, you'll not only do Scotland, but the entire UK. Don't you dare stop with these until all 196 nations have been straight-lined! 😁

Graham Fox

GET IN!!! I laughed so hard as guys fell in all of the ditches. What a great final episode :)

Matt

Congrats mate! Another amazing mission video!

Edd Hall

Well done! On to the next one 👍🏻

Runa Marie

Amazing!! Congrats for making it!

Cianan Roper

Unreal Tom and Ben, what an adventure

Sebastian J

Well done! Your misery in this last episode made me laugh so hard! Want you to never end making these missions!

Gregory Pritchard

What a series, what an achievement! Well done all three of you, can’t wait for the next adventure.

Adam Parker

Just joined patreon finally because i knew this one was the end and could not help myself, i watched at the start, though muck and loss, but you finally did it mate, so proud, i love your videos.

Boezem

You are accepting 30m deveations too easily :( I hope next time you stay a little bit more true to the line. Not go around swampy waters or resevoirs.

Mully

amazing, well done

Viniter

Congratulations, man! What an achievement. Interrupted or not, it's still a first! And well deserved!

Alice F

Spotted a tiny mistake in the subtitles at 6:49 - you wrote "our bags are just gonna be like big sales" instead of "sails", I thought I'd point it out in case you have time to change it before the Youtube release! But congrats this was an amazing series, and I consider the mission a success!

Malefic

Such a cool episode and ending to the series! Can't wait for the bonus footage and the line review video.

Jimmyisawkward

Haha yeah I think so; we have Western Washington and the western cascades mountain range which are extremely green, same with the peninsula. There are also some areas along the coast that look way different, like these red-orange interior trees on the north Salish sea coast, and very pretty trees on the Olympic coast. In the Northeast of the cascades, it’s more arid and dominated by pine forests, or patches of pine trees surrounded by grassy hills with sage brush, although the grass is dry and yellow 90% of the year. 80% of the east is comprised of those hills with sage brush, just without all the trees. In the south east, it’s like the rest of the east, but slightly more hilly. I did find 1 place near by in Oregon that *kinda* looked like those moors, but it was a stretch lol. Anyways, this concludes your brief tour of Washington state, anyone let me know if I missed something, because I kinda live in a corner of the state, and I’ve only been to 3/5 corners lol (Also I love your content!!)

Elliot Harker Dempsey

Incredible. Congratulations! You should hold this run with the highest regard. You'd have seen more criticism for trying to soldier on with an injury and no way of ensuring emergency services could reach you. It was nothing more than a necessary extended deviation between many days of the purest straight line trekking.

Alex C

This is just such a fucking heroic achievement. What a guy. What a team. The only thing missing was the odd Bear Grylls impression!

Jordan Wilson

What an entertaining end to another quality mission! Can't wait for the next one 😉

JackPosty

You guys are living legends.

Oli Barton

Doesn't have to have a trace back to the channel or your names, just a gift and note with enough that he knows it was from those two scallywags that gave him the run around that day who are deeply sorry for getting off his land quicker than he wanted them to ;)

Sophie Crawley

did you watch the first one where he very well couldve died in a swamp???

Tom Gillespy

Was just watching, and its gone private! Hope he hasn't had to take it down because of something I haven't seen yet...I was only 20 mins in! :/

sagacity

Same here, the same thing happened two episodes ago. Nailbiting!

Jonas Bobjörk

I hope the video is uploaded soon as this video just disappeared before I was finished.

Rik Frankfort

Thanks Tom, really enjoyed the series. Congrats to all three of you!

Yannick Pulver

What a beautiful series! Congrats Tom. Your story telling just so entertaining — I've laughed my ass off so many times

Jordi Encinas

Get in Tom! I couldn't help missing Greg at the end but I feel it is his win too.

Max Grosvenor

Congrats. Would love to see Ben do another one with you.

Aki M

Same. Had to wait nearly a full day to watch it and now I can't :(

Podey Williams

Congratulations to all three of you! Didn't expect to be as moved as I was by you finally reaching that finish line but it's been a privilege to have been with you since that very first Wales mission and to have gotten here.

Hannah Samuels

YOU DID IT! Congratulations! Absolutely phenomenal effort. It made me incredibly happy to see your faces at the end, you were both beaming. A lovely sight. Fantastic. Can’t wait to see you back in Scotland for another mission attempt. Remember to give me a bell if you need a contact or stash in the South West!

Chris

Thanks for this series Tom absolutely quality content really hope you and Greg do another Europe hitchhiking trip when COVID had calmed down 👍🏻

David Fitch

When did the rail crossing happen

Travis Willis

Congratulations, Tom, Ben, and Verity! Thank you for bringing us along on this grueling, yet beautiful adventure. I know it didn’t go as planned, but your determination knows no bounds and you should enjoy this moment!

Marte Kjelsberg

Congratulations! So happy to see you succeeded! Get in 🤩

Adam Latimer

Absolutely amazing mission, and a definitely success! Loved watching it as always. I think it would be entertaining (and hilarious) for you to review/react to Marcus's first attempt because there's a lot of people who thinks this looks easy, and he's here to prove it's harder than you make it look. Congratulations!

Scott T

Tom do you listen to Alice in Chains and if so what’s your favourite song

Jason Pease

Tom, this was an amazing adventure and a great start to the new year. I hope this is not the end of your adventures but I do hope next time you bring a satphone, extra batteries, map and compass, oh and get some high ankle supports to prevent strains!

Jaden Bruscato

I'm so emotionally attached to this series, it's so adventerous I feel like one of my dreams from childhood is being fulfilled. I will watch every single one of these!

Crassus0

Great achievement. Time to buy a ring for Verity now surely — she’s the best support crew you could ask for!

Louise Mitchell

Literally shouted YES at the end and there were plenty of ‘winces’ along the way 👍🏻 Love your content Tom

Thomas George

This adventure had me feeling the suspense the whole way, thanks for sharing your hardships in video format for us to enjoy and sympathize with!

Adriaan Buurke

Great episode. Wondering what happened with the batteries in the GPS on the last episode, did I miss the explanation for that or maybe we'll see that in the line review video?

Daniel Bohrer

Ahh cmon, doesn't matter if it's a few hours late, this one was definitely worth it! Thank you for doing this series!

Daniel Bohrer

Yeah, I hope so, I don't remember hearing an explanation either…

Niall Botley

That will probably come in a follow up video i think. He doesn't really mention the speed at which he gets through the batteries in this episode, so it may have sorted itself

Brad

Tom guessed it was a bad pack of Duracell batteries

Adriaan Buurke

Having a Garmin myself, the only thing I can come up with is the wrong battery setting (recharchables vs alkaline). That might mess up your battery life.

Name123

Really fantastic series again. I thought there's no way it could live up to previous ones but I was wrong.

Joaquin Iudica

very nice adventure tom! congratulations on your achievement, I hope you continue doing this stuff!

sagacity

Awesome! Congratulations and "get in" to the three of you. And fuck those random twigs, bastards that they are.

matthew healy

Had to sign up after the Wales adventure...was a great watch...congrats to you and Ben and Verity...real nice touch from Verity with the beers waiting at the end too!

Samuel Carroll-Smith

I love your content dude, it's just so different to everything else out there, you really put your own creative stamp on the travel and outdoors genre. Plus its always great to see a Midlands man get into entertainment. You need to make some clothing merch bro, I would proudly wear a Geowizard shirt on a night out. You and your support crew are legends.

Anton

Can I suggest you wear a bit taller boots for the next mission? Also, wetsuit.

Luke harben

Tom you should consider doing a straight line mission across Isle of Man

Tom Ward

When will the line review be released?

Hepad

Holy shit that's a great idea

RobNick

These videos were extraordinary good! Extreme good editing and camera work! My favorites so far. So entertaining. Loved every minute of it. Congrats to this misson! ❤❤❤ But... You may have completed the line (you definitely have!), but in my opinion not in the right way??? 😲 I am in anticipation of that line discussion video... 😘

Max-Joseph Krempl

Why not just focus on "pauses" and how far away from the line they are? Where "pauses" are the intervals between segments i.e. when you leave the line and return to the same point later in time. Those happen all the time for camping, collecting firewood, pooping etc. but it's okay because it's only a few meters from the last point on the line. You could apply the same principle to longer pauses (like being at the hotel) and just add the qualifier "longest/farthest pause: 10h/3km" to the mission. That way it'd be better quantitatively comparable to other missions. I don't think that distinguishing between "continuous" and "non-continuous" is particularly useful and practical. There is just too much room for interpretation and too little gradation.
