Attempting to cross SCOTLAND in a completely straight line. (PART 1: ENTER THE FACTORY)
Early access for all my lovely patreons. Welcome aboard newcomers.
*watch in 1440p and with subtitles for full effect*
It's here. The eagerly anticipated Mission Across Scotland, featuring myself and the heroic Welsh Greg, who was hungrier than ever for straight line success after our hiccup in Wales 2020. However, with our longest, most dangerous and action packed line to date waiting patiently for us over the border, the nerves were real, even with meticulous planning and logistics. Join us in part 1 as we prepare for take off, and the first stretch of the mission, a stretch dominated by wet feet and the unescapable presence of our biggest obstacle to date: The 95 acre Norbord MDF Factory. Would we even be able to scale it's 8ft barbed wire fence and get inside? Watch till the end to find out.
store ready for Sunday (all being well!)

Oi mate it's 20:00, where's part 2? You owe me a quid
Who's ready??
I signed up for your Patreon after watching you for a long time. The first mission across wales is what brought me to your channel. I had to sign up so I could not only see this mission early every week but also so I could support you. I hope you keep making mission videos like this!
This is what I signed up for!
After enjoying your content for a while, I thought it was about time I actually joined. Fabulous stuff as always. All the best!
Ever since I watched the Wales one, this series has been my favorite on YouTube for many reasons. The narration, the welcoming vibe of yourself and the adventurous spirit! I've always done the straight line tactic over the flat lands of Lincolnshire when I don't have the patience to walk home properly, so seeing this series for the first time way back when had the novelty tickle me. I'm happy you're still doing this amongst your other videos - couldn't be happier to give a pound to a stranger haha x
Such a great episode, bought your mom's book for my kindle as well, can't wait to get into it
I love your streams and content. However, as a Norwegian. I screamed internally when you went across that specific section of bogs in Norway. I was taught how to cross them as a boy scout and also told specifically how lethal they can be. Did you have any info on this? I would rather you stray a hundred meters off course and call it a success rather than you risking your life. Because you did. Much love, Snorre
Such a awesome idea and channel, love the wales one myself, and love listening to the themes on spotify. Cant wait to see more.
Amazing first episode! I look forward to the rest of the series and especially to finding out what happens in the rest of that factory!
Glad to see you got your ladder from my local screwfix
Recommended your mum's book to my girlfriend who in turn has recommended it to her family book club 👍
Hey Tom, I've sent you the german subtitles per mail earlier. Can't wait to watch the video together with my dad. He loves your straight-line missions but didn't learned english in school.
That’s amazing. I do not need it, but i love the community vibe
This is insanely good. Keep it up man
Amazing. The "seriously pissed off" guy stressed me out so bad, lol.
Loved this episode! It flew by so fast. Looking forward to the next factory episode. I will 1000% order the poster and your mom's book too! I enjoy reading and that's so inspiring, I hope to one day write a book in the future!!!
I don't think I've ever been so excited for any show or video as I am for this... it's hitting me as I watch the intro and day before scenes how much this means to me :)
Tom, you should get a GPS mount on your arm. So you get your hands free where it's at its worst. Wonderful with a new series by the way :)
loved it
Thank you Tom, these really cheer me up more than you could ever know. Hopefully I can get my hands on a poster. Much love from Cardiff
I'm so down for a signed poster! Hopefully shipping to the US isn't too much. And the vinyl, too!
This place looks fantastic! Definitely an ambitious challenge but I love the dedication:) great work so far guys
I'm going to miss the old orange Garmin GPS. It's survived being tossed and soddened in untrodden lands, and has surely earned its retirement.
Classic straight line mission format. Love it. Really is such a brilliant series, can't wait for the next one :)
My Gran lived in Dunmore before she passed, and my Dad grew up there. I spent a lot of time there as a kid. It's surreal to see you start there :)
“Kids enter free” on the side of the old abandoned manor. 😂😂😂
That Wales/England game was a cracker.
The best series on the internet
Great video Tom it's incredible to see your editing just getting better and better. I loved the poetic recap of all your previous missions at the start. Can't wait for the next one. Huge fan of all your content
subbed just to see this early! love every video series you do.
So excited!!!!!!!! Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaauuuurrrggghhhhhuuuuhhhhhh
Just a correction on the record you mentioned at the start; You haven't crossed the UK, you will have been the first to cross Great Britain, as that is the name of the actual island. the UK would mean you have done England and Northern Ireland too.
Well if you see UK as one country he has crossed it from one end to the other (border to border / sea to see). Yes there are wider parts but that counts as well for his trip accross wales and norway as well...
Editing is really on point! Great stuff!
Love it!!
Just joined Patreon to watch this early. Made my Friday - Cheers!
Best £1 i've ever spent
Oh yes! Got a whisky, got this on, Friday night sorted! :-)
When’s the next episode up? I’m a hungry bastard 😈 M O R E M O R E M O R E
next friday Hannah! sorry it's not sooner!
There's a typo in the disclaimer. You put 'and' instead of 'are'. Give it another read mate.
Awesome! Can't wait for the rest!
Good shit Tom! Love the content.
Hell yeah! And my grandmother loves nothing more than a British murder mystery so I'll be getting her a copy!
thanks so much sarah!
Cliffhanger such a tease. How was that a half hour already?
How many episodes are you planning?
can't divulge that Scott sorry!
So sad when it was over, but hey, I have something to look forward to next week
Just seen this and it already made my day!
To quote yourself, maaate! Editing's been done so well, that I was feeling nervous for so much of this episode! Keen for the next episode.
That cliffhanger got me a belter. The half hour flew by!
The cliffhanger! I don’t know if I can wait till next week!! Great stuff Tom and Greg
Great episode! Picked up the book off Amazon too for my gf, looking forward to it. Thanks!
What a cliff hanger to end episode one on!! Amazing stuff though.
Also do you have a monocular for looking ahead and spotting issues? I always take my monocular on my adventures
Really enjoyed that Tom. The narrating is always great. Fuming I have to wait a week!
The bond Greg and Tom have is incredible
Yes!! I’ve been waiting so long for this! Can’t wait to see what happens! I don’t know how they’re gonna get through the factory without getting nicked.
Tom, When the email come through saying "Mission Across Scotland" I nearly screamed. I've been looking forward to this for a long time.
Awesome episode! On the edge of my seat for the next one.
How much will the record be?
£24.99 Bryce
Your narration skills are fantastic, can’t wait for part 2
Great stuff Tom. Looking forward to next week.
You should have brought some plain clothes and a hi-vis haha, no one would question it
This is so well edited! My heart was absolutely racing. Great great stuff
My Friday nights are gonna be awesome for the next couple weeks I reckon!
man how did i know you'd leave it on a cliffhanger FUCK lol but i loved this i cant wait for the next episode im already looking forward to it
This is the greatest; you guys are bonkers. I was thinking Scotland was going to be a cleaner run too! Can’t wait for the rest of the series!!
Yessssss go on mate, best series on YouTube
Oh yeah!!
You absolute fucking madlads! xD
Finished watching . Can’t get enough and can’t wait for next video
Love it, Tom! Fully gripped.
Love it, chomping at the bit for episode 2!
Fantastic! Hope to see you and Greg claim a platinum victory, so glad to see another straight line mission! Great work, can't wait to see the rest of the series. 👍
Got a link to your mum's book?
In the description now Graham thanks!
Oh, this was every bit as good as I had hoped!
Anyone know where I can find the store?
officialgeowizardstore.com it's not open to public yet
The jobs a goodun! Fair play mate, you've absolutely nailed this one so far... editing is top notch too.
Best content on the internet!!
Love the video! So hyped for the next episode. Any clues on when the store will open?
Well done Tom, great episode! I will get a poster as soon as possible
Oh my god, this is starting out SO STRONG! Really upped the stakes with this one! Can't wait for the next ep.
Yesss this is gonna be epic!
Can't wait for next week! Incredible first episode :)
The series that has it all: mischief, comedy, suspense and apparently also poetry.
Looking forward to seeing North Third, frequented there many a fishing trip. Great content as always Tom, can tell you put a lot of effort in to this one!👍
Let’s go!!!!
I already clicked like before even watching it because I already know it’s going to be great!
Awesome. The only problem is I now have to wait until next week. Tell your Mum I just ordered When Skies are Grey. I apparently fall in that subset - Geowizard watcher and murder mystery reader.
and mom pleaser, most of all.
Yes, baby 😍
fantastic first episode, can't wait for next week. I have to get that poster!
Can't wait
This is brilliant! If you get the chance to read this... 2 corrections: "Some of the feats carried out in this series and dangerous" should be ARE dangerous "Sterling Travel lodge" The town in Scotland is spelt "Stirling" If you have the opportunity to edit then brilliant but if not this is still an awesome video and was well worth the wait! Thanks
And “spelt” is supposed to be “spelled”, actually. Spelt is a type of flour. Now you can correct YOURself 😎
Yesss!
Oh jolly good!
Anyone know the store link? I gotta get that poster
https://officialgeowizardstore.com but you can't access it yet unfortunately
Yes, lads!
Bruh, this cliff hanger is killer
I can't wait, this is going to be so great
