Blindfolded and Stranded [Part 2]
Here you are Patreons! Sorry for the lack of thumbnail this evening. Just been out on an adventure and now have to whizz back out to watch a David Bowie tribute act! Poor me ay?
Will do the thumbnail tomorrow morning.
Good subtitles once again available
Welcome to the second and final part of this barmy adventure. We pick things up on the edge of a gigantic dairy farm hoping I can sneak through it, and ultimately make my way home before dark. Standing in my way are motorways, high speed railway tracks, more swollen rivers, and an inescapable pit of stinging nettles. Spurring me on in the distance is the reassuring ridge of Cannock Chase, but would it be the stroll in the park that I kept making it out to be?
Have a top weekend all!

Can’t wait for the review video 🤓
Finally joined you Patreon after being a big Fan for years.Stoked for all the bonus content!
Great content as always Tom! Really enjoyed this new format. I've always wondered, though, why you don't bring along some kind of light water filter like a lifestraw? Then you could drink from the ample rivers/streams in cases when you can't find a pub (or forget to ask for water lol). Is it a weight issue or just an added part of the challenge to find water?
I think I preferred the challenge of finding drinkable water sources this time around, but I'm going to bring one on an upcoming adventure for sure!
I see you dad-jokes game is increasing ;)
The only Patreon account i subscribe to. 100% worth it.
Absolute banger of a format. This and the No Roads challenges are two of my favorites now. Looking forward to more in the future!
Good stuff 🦍❤️
What's your strava account boss?
Private sorry Tom!
I believe i speak for many of us Tom when i say i would love to see this format on a regular basis; perhaps with differing locations as end points too if you and Verity can allow for such a thing! Seeing if you could do this whilst trying to get to a different town would be a good test. Really enjoyed it regardless
Tom, I was watching an old straight line mission yesterday and had a thought. I know that you've had difficulty finding good lines in the local area that you haven't already "mastered" the optimal line for. So, why not a "perfect circle" mission? Draw a circle on the map, follow it exactly. Same rules as for straight, but it could be placed in much more interesting places. You could start with say, a 25 miler, and work up to a 50, 75, 100 miler. An intersting challenge would be that you can't rely on your internal "i'm walking in a straight line" so you risk drifting off more often. It could also be good for working out the stats: how close to 100% identical total area can you get to?
fantastic
Another excellent adventure and the reason this is my only Patreon subscription - well worth it!
A beautiful gift after a long week, thanks Tom!
Loving the creativity you have been exhibiting with these missions. Absolute legend.
Tom, of all the pints you could've had to celebrate, you choose Carling?
The funny thing is I didn't actually order that for myself. I ordered a pint of Corona on draught and Verity's friend wanted it so I did my fourth good deed of the day and made the swap!
Great work Tom, look forward to the review video :-)
As someone that grew up in Penkridge, it was a rough watch, seeing you decide to go under the motorway via the 449 knowing you’d have to cross the river 😂
Excellent series!! Enjoyed this so much, and would love to see you do one of these multiday as well. Honestly I just want more!! Well done man!
Hearing you say HUGE forest makes me giggle as a Swede :D
Wow gg due. What an adventure. If you’re wanting to do this type of thing again, we the viewers would love to see it. So original!!
Have been excitedly waiting for part 2 and boy did it deliver! I think these are a fantastic new addition to your straight line missions, primarily because it adds an extra dimension of the unknown for you Tom. With the straight line missions (which are bloody hard for other reasons) you at least get some idea of what you’re facing (fallen pines… ahem), whereas with these missions your sort of “sight reading” like a musician playing a piece for the first time. Super fun! Can’t wait for the next one.
I quite enjoyed this new kind of adventure. It also seems to be a bit easier to fit with your new parents duties than the longer ones, while also being quite exciting
Loved this new series! I felt it had everything it needed in it, the uncertainty of where you are and where to go, the navigating through the fields and foothpaths, overcoming obstacles, definitely a banger. Looking forward to the next one mate
Ahh I've been so excited for part 2, Made my weekend!!
Thank you very much. ♥️
Man the chase is a wonderful place, so easy to get lost though, having done a straight line mission across the chase, it is rather hilly.
Great, just finished watching you work your way through the sex dungeon 😁
as someone who once fell in a stingy nettle bush I feel your pain
Oh my god, I can't believe it! I just lit a joint. And now you post part 2. The perfect saturday night.
Let's go! Keep it up Tom!
Can’t wait to watch this now, been the vane of my existence all week!
