I stuffed a tenner in my pocket and walked along the coast of Cornwall...
Good evening Patreons! here's a treat to brighten up your weekend. Let me know your thoughts down below...
By popular demand the £10 in my pocket series is back, and this time things go up a notch. Join me as I set off from Plymouth and simply head west down the stunning south west coastal path with a tenner (£10) in my pocket and a sleeping bag. The results to this experiment last time around in Staffordshire were fascinating, so how might it turn out in a setting which is half bustling touristy fishing villages and half dramatic rugged coastline? sit back, relax and find out...
Watch with subtitles and in 4K for best results

Very cool, Tom! I'm curious why you don't use a proper canteen, though?
“Fancy a bum” 😂😂😂 I’m hoping that guy was quoting Balls of Steel!! Then again, might not be if he was hanging around in a public toilet…
Hey Tom. Been really inspired by this series and the earlier one from Aldridge to Buxton. Would you be able to do a tutorial on how to prepare for one of these at some point (i.e. what equipment to take, general advice etc?)
No equipment but a sleeping bag, gopro batteries and toothbrush/paste! I did take a GPS too which came in handy for seeking out public rights of way. You can relax more on those. Other than that, be confident, be brave and try to take in your surroundings :)
I adore these videos. So simple in concept yet so entertaining
Me too! Such a great format!
The pork pie was no good, I assume? The "expired farm" sound affect from Age of Empires was a beautiful touch. Fair play. *Edit I see the sound has been used multiple times, but still enjoyed it.
nah it was fine, it had just been in my warm bag for 24 hours haha
I really wish there was somewhere in the states I could do one of these, but everything is just so spread out, especially here in Nevada. It would quickly become an actual survival situation haha. It might be a specifically UK/EU type of adventure.
very true. I am truly blessed here!
Damn I gotta go check out Cornwall. It literally looks like the south of France. Great video, these may be your best format
This might be my favourite video you’ve ever done.
thanks Jack!
What you should do is post parts 1&2 on Patreon at the same time, and only part 1 on YouTube. That way people just finishing part 1 on YouTube can sign up for Patreon to watch the rest immediately rather than waiting a week
Agreed! "Join the Patreon for Part 2 now" is a great model for a series
Top notch content
Unbelievably great content again.
Less than a mile in and homie is already fighting through bushes 😂.
Feel like I need to visit Cornwall now! Didn't realise how gorgeous it was!
Love this, I hope we get even more Tenner adventures to come! It’s the perfect combination of a bit of the challenge of a straight line and the creating your own adventure part of how not to travel!
Another instant classic 😍. One ep in and I'm already considering going and walking the South West Coast Path myself. The 'Tenner in my Pocket' formula is proving to be equally as entertaining as both Straigh Line Missions and the How not to Travel-series. But in a different, more relaxed way. It's like there's a calmness washing over me while I watch this. Don't know if it's just me but this series feels like playing the postgame of a videogame. It's got that same quality to me somehow. You've finished all the main quests and bosses, but you still walk around the map and explore a calmer, friendlier, emptier world. Its beautiful and relaxing, but it invokes reflection and retrospection in all its simpleness.
Put the weed down bro
Did I see that correctly?? Was there an actual arrow pointed at Austria??? If you are ever in need of anything on Austrian soil, please feel free to reach out! Much love!
As brilliant as ever. Thanks Tom!
Yes mate, pure hibernation video for the bleak british weather. I am for sure going to do this walk, looks epic!
Fantastic video 🙂 hilarious
30:40 - did a guy really ask if you fancied a bum? 😂
haha nah it's from a British TV show called balls of steel. I don't really know why I put it in to be honest.
ah man i can't wait for part 2!
Currently at an all Inclusive resort on holiday ...drinks stop at midnight . At 11.58 did a straight line challenge short cut to the bar though some bushes and vegetation for the last drink ....and made it 💪💪💪💪
That is incredible Ruth. It fills me with pride to learn that I may have inspired you to escape what sounds like a desperate situation
Honestly- This is too good to not post it for everyone. Probably my favorite series you've made yet mate. A true adventure! (I also got that Proteiiiin reference haha)
As an historian myself I absolutely love the passion Harry had for Fowey's history
Same here. So refreshing to see in such a young guy!
Loved this one Tom, Cornwall is truly stunning
I think this should go onto YouTube, IMO this is the second best series after Straight Line.
Releasing tonight on YouTube :)
Just brilliant, as ever, Tom. Many thanks!
Great video!
Faith in humanity partially restored, great video thank you!
Hope you had a good (albeit brief) passing through Plymouth :) - If you are ever here again you have a free pint on me lol
Seriously, these Tenner videos are shaping up to be just as incredible as the Straight Line missions. I'm actually in awe of how incredible your videos are. Top class entertainment by a natural born storyteller.
wow thanks mate!
You know we’re in for a treat when the Taz hat is on
Thoroughly enjoyed this one! I always think this is something I could do but I think my social skills are lacking and would make the interactions difficult, definitely an underrated aspect of these adventures!
Believe it or not I don't always find it easy to socialize with strangers, but what I have learned is that it often gets easier the more you do it!
This is as good as it gets man, IMO. Peaceful with stunning environment, but also adventurous with a big dollop of feel-good from all the nice people you encounter. Thank you for this lad!
Your luck and charisma are off the charts in this one. What a fantastic episode.
Epic cliffhanger lol
Fantastic!
Been amazing so far, i think this format itself is just so good and chilled out. Can't wait for the next episode!
Top tier entertainment as always
Love how Harry coincidentally brought up the Cornish language before you were able to haha
Sat wandering the depths of youtube pondering what to watch while i eat and the best notification popped up on my phone! Great video as always!
Absolutely loved this! Can't wait for part 2! Thanks for sharing such a fun adventure!
And restoring faith in humanity!
Watched the whole thing with just a stupid grin on my face. Loved every second. There is something about this series/idea which is just so magical. Blackberry guy and the argument teased at the end of the episode had me cackling
Every time I tell people in Germany I am going to Cornwall they go, ahhh… “Como! Italy!” I was just telling my wife this and then bang - your T-shirt appears. Spooky!!!
that's mad!
Got a flight back from Mallorca tomorrow morning, any way to download this to watch on the flight? Can't wait!
Nice, cant wait! Just have to watch a football Match rn but after that this will be a nice relaxing close for the day.
I go back and watch the other videos regularly, this'll be an absolute treat.
This thumbnail is a winner
Yeah! Thanks.
Awesome buddy
Love these videos buddy. Also you have always reminded me of Mike Skinner, just wanted to share that
Man that series wae great. Glad to see it back
I love your tenner in my pocket content! That last one I admit that I rewatched it a LOAD because it just felt so homely and I loved it! Excited to watch this one!!
Thanks Tom!!!!!!!
YEEEESSSSSS
Yes!!!!
