We attempted to cross Manchester without walking down a single road or canal [PART 1]
Evening Patreons! Here's some juicy early access for you in the form of my latest no roads mission, and it's a banger of a series.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As explained in the update at the end of the video, I will now be running YouTube memberships along side Patreon for those who wish to use that instead (or as well). Nothing is changing here though! Please watch the announcement for the full details.
$4 gang: The $4 adventure mentioned in the announcement (Alton towers sneak in - another banger!) will be with you on Wednesday at the same time that this episode and YT memberships go public.
EDIT: Original plan was Tuesday but the subtitles weren't quite ready.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOOD SUBTITLES AVAILABLE (SOME SPEECH MAY BE HARD TO HEAR)
"The greatest urban adventure series ever is back with a bang and this time we take on the incredible urban arena that is Manchester - third in size after London and Birmingham but by no means third best to mission through it turns out. With centuries of industry littered all over the city and a healthy dose of crime and urban decay, it was always going to be interesting, but this one exceeded all expectations.
Join myself, my brother Ben and our trusty support guy Uncle Ed as we tackle the relatively leafy first third of the mission, snaking our way towards the city centre via various strips of bramble and rubbish strewn land. Along the way I sneak into the Etihad stadium posing as Bernardo Silva, the three of us discover what has to be the most disgusting patch of ground in all of England, and Ben and I get a serious wakeup call from our smelliest and deepest urban river yet..."

"Tracky bottoms tucked in socks"?? :) Late to the party but loving the series so far!
my jaw was on the floor when you "snuck in" to man city lol
Episode 2 will hopefully be with you on Friday, everyone. It was supposed to be yesterday but another good weather window has opened up and i’m gonna take advantage of it. The plus side is you know you can expect another great (YouTube) adventure in the next few weeks, and a brand new idea too!
Happy days, can’t waste a good weather window
A lack of cash seems to be a recurring theme for you Tom haha. You should add it to the packing list!
Is the new ep up tonight please tom? Almost ready to sit down and relax after a busy weekend so that would be absolutely epic
I'm hoping it comes up tonight too 🤞
Wader pro-tip. You should always wear a belt with your waders. It makes it infinitely safer and less likely that you’ll get completely swamped. The belt prevents water from spilling over the top of your waders and doing straight down to your legs. If the belt is tight, your legs might not get wet at all. I’ve spent hundreds of hours in waders, sometimes in some really rough water and it can really save your life if you go under
My wife was convinced the Etihad thing was real but I'm obviously far too much of a cynic. Wondering now if you'll do Old Toilet as well 😂 PS - COYG!!
"Not really reasured, but excited" This could be the start of any Geowazard adventure lol
Really tricked us with that Etihad espionage 🙄😂 Plus they’re just happy to get numbers through the door 😊
I love ben, him and greg are the best so far
Oh my eyes are still wet from laughing about the condoms. "Durex carpet" 🤣
Been quite a while since I watched a video of yours, for no other reason than that I have just been so busy and just forgetting. Like when I recieved an email that you posted on Patreon being like "oh Tom posted! I should watch" and then just unfortunely forgetting or being too tired. Today I decided enough was enough and to watch this video, and you know, for the last few months I have not been doing well mentally at all, but hearing your voice, the music and just feeling the overal vibe of your video's makes me feel a peacefulness that no other content creator can achieve. Thanks for being who you are, and I'll try to find more time to watch your video's again, cuz I very much need it!!!
😂 I'm a big city fan. Introduced the channel to my mate with "he looks like Bernardo". On the way to Wembley last Saturday, passing near Lichfield on the coach we expected to see you running across a field. Great video as always can't wait for next week.
I've never seen so much wasted human DNA spread in a such a small area. You never know what you might find in such places. One reason why urban exploration might not be my thing. Just taking out the trash makes me dry-heave sometimes.
Corrr, tremendous first episode! Was just wondering over the weekend whether something like this was brewing behind the scenes. Thoughts at this stage are with Ben's gammy leg after the manky river water leakage incident...
Back with a bang! City close to my heart Manchester and seeing it from this side is a bit of enlightenment.
Just made my week!!!
Great to see your brother ben and your uncle ed back on the scene for the no roads mission, i would love to see you do a no roads cambridge or no roads norwich sometime
Aww Ben's poor skin assaulted by whatever lives in that cesspit. Bluh. That's how a boy gets cholera. Good thing he's a bulldozer instead. So, if we have both YT Membership and the subscription here, it's the same content just with emojis and a badge icon thingy?
Exactly. If anything there will be more on here as there are a few bits and bobs (geography, music, streams and general day to day life vids) that I won't be uploading to YT.
Had to rewind as I thought the shirt said "Jizzwizard" at first :')
I just noticed you've done Eddie hall's podcast . Did I miss you promoting it? i would have watched it by now had I known. P.s. love the content as always
Ben reminds me of a nicer smilier version of Kev off of Derek 😂
hahaha he'll love that
It’s nice to see Ben again, he’s such a great addition to any adventure Great vid as always Tom
That one moment with all the durex wrappers… probably one of the foulest in all your adventures! Thank you for braving the extreme conditions for our enjoyment!
I actually tried mapping this out on Google Earth 😂 can't wait to see you tackle Trafford. Gutted I didn't bump into you. I'm around these parts all the time
Amazing video again Tom! Is the video you were talking about at the end also on Patreon?
Thanks Arne! Of course!
You found where the ladies of the night do there bisnes
Poor girls.
Ah yes!!! This made our evening
Debating canceling here then and moving to YouTube membership suppose you do get a bit more over there
gonna be sparking up to this one, go on da boyyy
No need for the long written introduction. You just have to say "Uncle Ed is in this" and watch the likes come flooding in.
My neck of the woods! Looking forward to the next part!
Always great to see Uncle Ed along for the fun. He's a real one.
Oh hell yes. It's been one hell of a week. Daughter is ill so haven't slept, work is shit. But this is going to make me feel better :D
This will go down lovely with a nice cup of tea after on 👍
How many episodes will the full mission be?
3 Shaun
Best possible notification to get!!
The no roads mission has got to be my favourite so I'm elated to see this!
I’m currently on my first solo trip abroad and having an early night before heading home tomorrow. This is absolutely the perfect way to wind down. Excellent. 🙏
No way, I was just thinking it could be about time for a new video 😄 I really enjoy Pleasant Pudding, by the way. It's so comforting to listen. Cheers!✌️
Sweeeeet!
Very cheeky dropping this at 8:55pm on a Sunday. I was supposed to be doing things 🤣
Love these! I’ll be buying the poster
No poster this time unfortunately Mr B! it was all very last minute!
