I went hunting for coins on busy roundabouts (and got attacked by a pheasant)
Inspired by Beau Miles who did this in his native Australia with some success, I set off on a 10 mile run through the countryside, aiming for 5 big (and quite dangerous) roundabouts.
Barely anyone sets foot anywhere near these roundabouts and they rarely get cleaned up, so the theory is that years worth of relentless traffic is bound to fling a few goodies into the gravel. However I was faced with another issue; wildly overgrown footpaths that due to my time restraints sadly cut the journey short. It was on these footpaths that I was viciously attacked by a protective pheasant, but could I salvage the day with a find?

RIP Taz hat
The content of your videos is brilliant as always. That pheasant part cracked me up so much. 😂
The ending… priceless.
I hope Tom tries this again in the Winter!
I completely forgot about the pheasant part from the title until it happened and man was that funny! Still though, the state of our footpaths / rights of way is actually pretty bad. I planned out a whole "legal" (i.e. not questionable) straight line mission across my county, basically just crossing using proper rights of way, so only straight in the sense of my start and end points, but when I actually did some reccy's at key points I found that so many paths were unmaintained, overgrown or the council had decided to close them and not offer alternatives. Made it impossible to do without massive increases in distance, so I effectively gave up doing any more of it, which is a shame.

I sub to the patreon and immediately see Tom getting attacked by a pheasant. This is 4 dollars well spent.
There you go, provoking birds 🤣🤣
Verity is an extremely lucky woman. Not many blokes would do that for their other half!
Alternate ending: Tom returns home with a bloody hammer and presents Verity with a dead pheasant. "Here you go, I picked up some dinner on the way home."
Man I never thought about that. I should have kept that hammer!!
Just me that thought he was dressed as an x wing pilot?
At least it wasn't geese.
I think the pheasant just wanted to fix your shirt collar.
feel bad for calling him the C word now..
Wait till this one leaks, and all the Welsh farmers start getting guard quails, to ward off any straight line missioners.
sounds hilarious but just might work!
It seems that angry farmers are nothing compared to angry pheasants now.
Who knew!
You spoil that girl
So long as the pheasants don't start teaming up with swans. A swan'll break your arm.
That was a sweet ending giving Verity the spoils of your treasure hunt. I wonder if she would have preferred the hammer? 😄
She says I chose right with the 20p. She can't eat the hammer.
Would you rather battle 10 angry pheasants or 10 angry Welsh farmers ?
I'll take the farmers, because my brain can't even conceive of a scenario where I have pissed any more of them off. I have earned the right to surrender. Also based on recent evidence the pheasants would destroy me!
Not going to lie, half way through when you were heading home I was bit underwhelmed by this “adventure” but the quail attack and to a lesser extent the 20p find more than made up for it 😆
