Can't thank you enough, Tom, for my favorite entertainment. Such a gay(happy) spark ignites in me when I get an email you've uploaded. If you don't mind me asking, (maybe you've answered but I've missed it) why no hot drinks? A Mormon Brit? Or health related?
That headlock technique was sick and so funny! And I would deffo be interested in seeing some pirate exploration (or the pirate thing you mentioned)
Loved this one, from Porthpean onwards you’re on the route of a coast path run that some guys called Mud Crew put on in August, I’ve been a long this coast path and through these villages numerous times, but to see a bit of the real everyday life of these places puts them in a whole new light. I’ll keep an eye out for Helen next time I’m on the way through Mevagissey!
Show us the loot!
Another cracking vid Tom. I love the whole journey and the stories that arise organically from yours (and others) shenanigans.
Nice job on the video! This is a top tier series. Maybe the next one could be somewhere continental?
LOVED the description of how you used the bottle cap to fill your water bottle. Had me cackling. Love this vid and this series!
absolutely loved the video and generally the vibe of the tenner in my pocket adventures keep it up Tom :)
Would love to see you do one of these in Scotland! or in Italy I feel like people would be really accommodating and have lots of stories to tell!
Italy is beckoning i think..
Video just gone private?
He just made it public it on YouTube. You must have caught it in limbo. It's up now.
This is without a doubt the best video series on YouTube.
That chicken of the woods find was incredible. Can confirm with 100% certainty that that was definitely the real deal (I've been a big mushroom forager for a few years). There are no poisonous lookalikes in the UK, so as long as it's not been pissed on or next to a busy motorway, you're good! The outer rim of each lobe will always be more fresh, but the specimen you found looked fresh all over to me. Great vid Tom!
A piece of advice for your next adventure - bring the Collins Gem Mushrooms pocket book with you. It's tiny so shouldn't add much weight, and gives you enough information to do some basic mushroom foraging as a beginner. Also check out Wild Food UK on YouTube :)
Brilliant! Entertaining, inspiring but somehow relaxing content, absolutely love it 👍 would love to see more of these types of adventures! It's also making me want to do something similar next summer!
This is amazing! I've been to Cornwall years ago and these videos make me want to go back there and have my own little adventure! Great work!
Absolutely loved these videos!
Love these Tom! I think it's your best series since How not to Travel, excited to see more in the future!
I wonder if you could get sponsored by a tourist board somewhere (in the UK or elsewhere) to do similar videos. I've been resisting moving back to the UK for a while now but these videos make cornwall look like a pretty good option...
Just love it , this is my style of content , keep up the adventure videos Tom!!
Lovely two episodes. I did know nothing about Cornwall. But it seems to be such a beautiful place. Definitely put it on my list of places to visit. Cheers mate
Brilliant video once again. Love the adventures you come up with and your approach to them.
Love these Tom, and I wonder if you've read Samuel Beckett's Molloy? Much of it is about wandering aimlessly down country roads, and it's something that lives on in my memory every time I'm doing the same, even a quarter of a century after I read it.
I haven't mate but I'll check that out!
I'm from cornwall this is giving every nostalgia hit i ever wanted on a sunday love the series sm
Got my shitty beer and looking forward to this adventure. Call it escapism , but there’s something really calming about these videos. Thanks Tom
If you are gonna do the kayak thing, take Uncle Ed with ya
Is there actually any extra information in the subtitles? Great series, loving it. I'd love to see you and Greg depart on an adventure together again. You guys have such a strong bond. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
40 minutes in honestly some of the best content Ive ever seen on youtube. Such a great a adventure and perfectly captures how amazing and interesting life can be if you just keep pushing yourself that one step out of your comfortzone.
Cracking video mate!
My hubby and I were lucky enough to spend a few weeks driving around Cornwall in 2018. We travelled from Australia just to have an extended British pub crawl! This is such a cool series Tom, thank you so much for making our favourite YouTube content. Stoked to see part 1 has so many views. Geodetective is also amazing but whatever you upload is a great night for us.🍺🇦🇺🍷🍻
Thought this was a brilliant series and hope you do more of them! Sad for it to end!
good stuff tom. would love to see you do a walking video with marek larwood/cooldudeswalkingclub.
so sad to see it come to an end!!
Gutted it’s over to be honest, even my dad loves these videos. Heart warming and reminiscent of my childhood.
Loved this adventure. Mostly because I live in Cornwall and have walked the whole coast path so I recognise so much of what you did. But it was also great to see you get so far with so little. If you ever return and make it as far as Penzance let me know and I'll donate a loaf of bread to help you along 😄
Sea Kayak foraging and exploring vid sounds great
Excellent series. I've had a couple of holidays in the Mevagissey area, so it was good to see it again. As an idea for a future adventure how about combining previous ones. So a bit of real life Geoguesser, then once you've found out where you are on a physical map (so no Googling or other digital maps) make your way to a predetermined goal through any means in set amount of time, but with only a tenner in your pocket!
You should ask LoveSundays Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovesundays84/ for some places to go and look for loot
I will do just that"
I really love this series, Tom. I'm gonna try to be netural and give some feedback: I would have loved some more details about the argument and the other adventures with your "kooky friend" - but I do understand the decision there to protect people's privacy. This "tenner in my pocket" concept is just perfect IMO, it's less strict than a straight line mission but it gives the adventure a central thread, while both inciting you to connect with people, and giving you freedom to do what you feel like and seek out adventure opportunistically. A good mix between nature shots and path walking on the one side, and meeting people and pub crawling on the other side, makes for great varied content.
I can reassure you that the blue tent you saw below the footbridge near Spit Beach did get taken! I live locally and saw it en route to the beach, and then saw a guy walking away with it back to the car park! For a brief moment watching this, I thought it might've been you I saw taking it! Gutted to have missed you whilst you were passing through - great videos!
That's insane! bravo for retrieving it. Was it as dirty as i suspected?
Definitely enjoying these videos and seeing your adventures. I'd would love to see a kayaking one
Great video! I love the tenner in my pocket videos, and would be cool to see Wales or Scotland featured. One suggestion is that you could make a bucket list of tasks you want to do or see on the trip, eg cook seafood, and get a pint by a local.
I'm all for watching you kayak around the Cornwall area searching for pirate treasure!
Loved the series. Better than the first one imo. I personally would like to see more interaction with locals. Makes for interesting stories. Liked the bloke who told you all about his village. That was great. Its just stories on top of all the walking and finding food (which is also great, don't get me wrong).
Really enjoyed this, Tom. Your knack for ‘finding the adventure’ never seems to fail. I love long distance trail walking, so this was right up my street. I’d happily watch you documenting more long distance trails, £10 budget or not!
Another great video, any way you could point me in the direction of where you found the instrumental version of Bert Jansch's running from home?
I just chopped it up to make it sound instrumental!
Possibly your best series yet. I think a good place for another one of these would be Lancaster PA Amish country (the place you tried to find an Amish person in HNTTA). Lots of nice countryside and small towns.
I really love these easygoing adventures. And you could be doing these almost anywhere. I think you should ask people for water. Running out of water makes me really anxious.
Tom you have a real art for storytelling, it's fully what makes these videos so good. I reckon you could film a trip to tesco and make it into a riveting half hour video.
And yes to pirate loot!
Never seen anyone eat fish & chips like that.
Definitely would like to see some exploring for pirate loot! Would make for a great video.
My weekend can now truly begin!!
You could do a tenner in my pocket on the Isle of Skye
Never thought I would want to go to Britain for but after this series I want to go to Cornwall
Looking forward to this! Thanks! Great series, this.
Hey Tom. Loving this new tenner series as I live down here also. I have a friend who explores old tin mines and thought that would be up your street. Happy to organise a meeting if it’s something you’d be interested in.
Who does the guitar music on these Tom?
tracks by Bert Jansch and the Stone temple pilots - licenses obtained from Lickd
Family duties over everything!
Havent even watched it yet but I bet it's another banger of a vid!
Gwych! Excellent timing
legend mate
The first part was brilliant 🤩 Are we recording?
Edit: Thoroughly enjoyed this episode too, Tom! Thank you for continuing to create great content. Kettle on! So excited 😁
Home from a nice 3pm kickoff FA Cup first round game, dinner made, and geowizard posts. What a Saturday 👍
Always love the impromptu adventures and you picked an amazing setting this time!
Perfect timing Tom, I’m buckled in for a good one
