Manchester no roads mission [PART 3 EARLY RELEASE]
Morning all! Sorry I couldn't release this last night like planned. Took a lot of work this one did and I wanted it to be right. I'm pretty confident it's worth the wait.
Just want to thank you all for your support on patreon. It helps me keep doing what i'm doing more than you could know!
This is it. The third and final installment of what has to be one of the greatest urban adventures ever. We've already overcome our fair share of obstacles and even showstoppers up till now, but none of that will compare to what's in store for us in the final stages of the mission. Two canal crossings and an incredible 200 year old rooftop ensure that this episode is just as hilarious and fascinating as the previous two, but an intimidating chain of office buildings and construction sites complete with rottweiler wielding security might just prove a step too far...
**good subtitles available**

your videos make me want to live life properly, wish i had people to urban explore with
Good luck in your first WC match against DR Congo tonight mate!
Great series, huge effort, definitely not a fail I don't think!
Please don't grow out of it!! Brilliant mission as always, and an absolute joy to watch! Bravo!
What was the total distance of road walked compared to the total travel distance?
I mean you guys got collared by those security fellas and still ended up finishing, and the way you went down the road was the only way to get over that tram way, so I would consider it a win. Helluva mission, guys. Entertaining as always, Tom. Always love your stuff.
Another amazing instalment lads! Edinburgh next? 👀 would happily provide uncle Ed support haha
Hi Tom, Me and my mate have just finished watching and you have inspired us so much we had to drop you a message. We’re massive fans of the channel and have been watching for years — your videos are a huge part of why we both got so into GeoGuessr and exploring in general. I’m from Caerphilly just outside Cardiff, and after watching the Manchester mission we genuinely think Cardiff would make a brilliant city for a no roads challenge. The mix of rivers, parks, footpaths, estates, industrial bits, woods and random hidden cut-throughs would make it perfect in our opinion. We have also heard Cardiff has quite a large maze of underground canals which could be super interesting, although that would definitely take some research. Me and my friend play loads of GeoGuessr because of your videos, and we actually spend a ridiculous amount of time on Cardiff-only maps, (or Cardiffguessr as we call it) so obviously being local helps, but because of GeoGuessr we also know the city really well from studying it on maps too. We’d genuinely love to help out in any way if you ever did decide to give Cardiff a go. We’re also both going to Bristol Uni next year, so we’ll be nearby and basically available whenever, if you ever wanted local help planning routes, scouting areas, or even joining for part of it, if that was something you’d ever consider. And if you ever wanted a preliminary route or any scouting done before even deciding whether to do the challenge, we’d definitely be up to help out with that too. But honestly, even if you didn’t want any help from us specifically, we still think Cardiff no roads would be such a good video and we’d absolutely love to see you take it on. It feels made for it. Either way, thanks so much for all the videos over the years, they’ve genuinely inspired both of us to get outside more, travel more, and look at places differently. In fact we've already done a "tenner in out pocket" challenge before. Your videos have definitely changed the way we look at maps and places in general. All the best, Joe and Tarn
Like a phoenix from the flames. Well done, fellas. Awesome job!
Loved it and happy I actually caught it early for once!
Tom, have you heard of the smugglers way down in Cornwall? It's only 38 miles, so you'd probably smash it in two days. It's not quite straight line but it's effectively coast 2 coast from Looe to Boscastle. Id highly recommend 👊🏻
Head’s up Tom you have some extra black screen at the end with a bit of audio that snuck in.
I think that was purposeful like a bonus track
loved it!!
That was a corker. I wonder what city you might tackle next, unless the honest self-reflection of being a father of two leads you to reflect on the sanity of these types of adventures :)
Loved this so much. I really appreciate the incredible effort you put into these missions.
Cooked up myself a steak and got a nice drink for this
So many familiar sights! This was such a surreal one. Is if one of favourite Youtubers were dancing through a park where I got pissed as a teenager and ended up at Bunny Jackson's for some wings. Exquisite taste lads! Hope to see you in manchester soon!
Really like these kind of adventures, you should wear something protective like a large pair of work pants over the waders to avoid damage.
Straight line mission biggest fear: A welsh farmer on a quad bike No Roads mission biggest fear: Rottweiler wielding security
It’s that time of the week again!! Thanks for another epic series Tom.
Last few seconds of the video ooooh it was all for nothing oh dear
Random question your watch has a map on it but does it tell the time
Great series as always. The place that you said looked like a gangster film could be made there is where the Garrison pub was filmed in Peaky Blinders.
do a kingston upon hull no roads mission trust, it would be great with all the post industrial bits and rivers etc would definitely be a great watch
Agreed hull would be epic
Is Ed actually your uncle?
Excellent fun lads, thanks for taking us with you
Huge mission, congratulations to both of you, i still think it counts!
Always a good day when tom uploads
Excellent video Tom. Appreciated! If you ever get the chance to explore under the great northern warehouse I'd recommend it. Huge arches, an old air raid shelter and a flooded undergroud passage towards the old corrie set.
Great mission Tom, supremo straight-lining. UTB's!
This looks to be the most intense of them all. Very exciting to see!
Yeaaah wasn't expecting this until Sunday. Will watch when the kid has a nap next 🤣
Get teh fuck in. Please always launch these at lunchtime and not bedtime hahaha
This is going to be a banger!
Yessss! I’ve been looking forward to it all week!😍
Get in, been waiting all week for this.
Let’s go. Tom here’s an idea for your next video, straight line mission but the line is a country border. The San Marino border would be a hard but doable one
Love all the missions u do
Perfect timing!! Yesssss. So excited for this one, Tom!
That’s a early one
