________________________________________________________________________________________
In February 2019, 3 weeks before the Mission Across Wales, I took to the childhood den making arena of Sutton Park to test the notion that it was possible to travel a significant distance in a straight line.
Along the way there would be friendly dogs, golf courses, a railway track and lots of holly and gorse, all plotting against me to veer from the line on my brand new GPS System.
This is an exclusive early release video available for Patreon users only for the first 7 days.

Join me and Welsh Greg 6 miles into the hills of mid Wales as we attempt to be the first people to cross Wales in a completely straight line. Today was all about reaching the stash point. If we didn't, we were screwed. But with 8.5 miles of farmland in our way, it was by no means guaranteed. Today would turn out to be a day of human interaction, but how costly would those encounters be?
CROSSING WALES IN A STRAIGHT LINE - GeoWizard Interview
We sat down with the one and only Tom Davies who runs a youtube channel called GeoWizard, uploading mainly adventure content, as well as videos of the online game 'GeoGuessr'.
Tom is also somewhat of a travel pioneer, as he has attempted to cross Wales in a completely straight line twice, working towards being the first person to cross a country in a straight line!
We run through his exciting adventures so far, and future missions in his cross-heirs.
This is the first video interview we have undertaken of an ongoing series, in which we will be talking to some exceptional adventurers and creators in the area. Subscribe for more!

Real Life Geoguessr - Blindfolded and Dumped in a Random UK Location - PART 1
We all know I can play Geoguessr, but what happens when I'm dumped in a random UK location and left to figure out where I am?
After hand picking 5 locations, Nurse Verity drove me to each one, while I sat in the car blindfolded and somewhat nauseous. She then buggered off, leaving me to figure out where I was, before making my selection on a custom made game of Geoguessr.
With a fastest time of 10 minutes and 7 seconds for a perfect score on the UK Version of Geoguessr, surely I could hold my own?
Scotland Line Analysis Video - How Accurately Did We Follow The Line?
Sorry it's a bit late folks, been busy settling into my new house and watching England slowly but surely bring it home.
In this video I'll be showing you exactly how close we stuck to our line on the Mission Across Scotland, talk you through some of the planning process, talk you through some of the remaining obstacles and how we planned to tackle them, reveal our top 5 most crucial bits of kit on this expedition, where we plan to improve next time and more!
Geoguessr heads: Geoguessr video to follow later in the week!

Park Rangers ask Drone Club to move on from Sutton Park after “Karen” complains.
After receiving a complaint from a “Karen”, we were asked to move on from the meet at Sutton Park by the park rangers. They were really polite and we had a good chat.
We had already been flying for 2 and a half hours without any issues, but it took just 1 Karen to make a phone call because they weren't happy about a few lads getting together in a sparsely populated, wide open space and having a bit of fun!
They've told us who to contact in relation to flying in a different part of the park in future, although the section of the park they referred to is in Class D airspace, whereas we were flying outside of that! Hmmm
Anyway, we were getting bored of the location by that point anyway so we moved up the road to Barr Beacon and had another 2 hours flying there. Got some great shots from there actually, so thanks Karen! ????
How to Cross Denmark in a Straight Line? (for GeoWizard)
Fellow Youtuber GeoWizard, the absolute madlad that he is, attempted to cross the entire country of Wales by walking in a straight line earlier this year. Now I have taken it upon myself to come up with a line that crosses my home country of Denmark.
Sorry for the shaky camera and low audio. I tried a new method of recording and editing for this one. Would probably work better if I had a microphone, though...
This is the website that I use to visualize my lines:
And here are the coordinates for the 4 lines shown in the video.
All of them cross railroads, as stated in the video.
--=LINE 1=--
Doesn't cross Wadden Sea. Crosses highway via bridge. Best line I've found regarding houses and farms. Still at least 5 farms that it crosses straight through.
West waypoint: N55° 04.177' E008° 38.669'
East waypoint: N55° 09.145' E009° 29.831'
--=LINE 2=--
Crosses Wadden Sea. Also crosses underneath the highway through an underground pipe. If pipe is too small/underwater, you can cross via an actual tunnel 500 metres north. Crosses right through wetlands on Rømø. Plenty of houses and farms.
West waypoint: N55° 08.315' E008° 28.400'
East waypoint: N55° 09.174' E009° 29.814'
--=LINE 3=--
Crosses Wadden Sea. Crosses over highway via bridge. Lots of big farms and at least one small village.
West waypoint: N55° 08.500' E008° 28.400'
East waypoint: N55° 08.420' E009° 30.170'
--=LINE 4=--
Also crosses Wadden Sea and highway (same bridge). Still problems with farms, houses and a village. Still hard to improve.
West waypoint: N55° 08.600' E008° 28.400'
East waypoint: N55° 08.405' E009° 30.170'

Having successfully found last weeks subjects, we move straight on to our fourth target, holiday maker Andrew Feathercock. With nothing but a mosque and a few boats in the background, this promises to be a tough one, but will I do it?

Crossing an ENTIRE country in a straight line with Youtuber GeoWizard
In this episode of When It Hits The Fan we chat to Tom Davies, better known as Youtuber GeoWizard. Tom went viral when he attempted to cross an entire country in a completely straight line. That meant wading through every river, scrambling up every steep bank and fighting his way through several hundred thorny hedgerows.
Tom spoke to When it hits the fan about the challenges he faced along the way - and why ego can be a dangerous drive when you're out in the wilderness all alone.

I Attempt to Cross the Country in 24Hrs and in a Straight Line (Doesn't go to plan) - Part 1
I made a new channel for this sort of thing where I re-uploaded it, I would love it if you could support me over there:
In lockdown we couldn't stay overnight anywhere, so I thought I would take advantage of unlimited exercise and try to walk from the north coast of Somerset at Kilve beach to the south coast in Beer.
I also wanted to do it in as straight of a line as possible. Things didn't go exactly to plan but it's a good adventure.
This is part 1
I have lots of challenges planned for this channel so if you liked it, I would really appreciate a subscribe like and comment to give this new channel a boost.
Thanks for watching and let me know what you thought in the comments!
P.S. Filming will improve as I make more videos :)

Battlefield Documentary Part 3 - 2008 - The Somme and In Flanders Fields
I filmed a series of videos in 2008, The Somme and In Flanders Fields. The footage was recorded on a HD camera, no GoPros around back then.
Since then my editing skills and grammar has improved. Most important is the new technology in camera equipment...
I was there for 4 weeks in Belgium staying at Talbot House Poperinge. Some great memories and I met a lot of new friends, who I am still in touch with...

Enjoy and please share...
