Lads, as someone who grew up on a farm (in Ireland), here's a tip; if they are friendly then get their names. If you run into one who's a bit iffy, then tell them.. 'we were just talking to 'John Smith' and were talking to him for a while'. It relaxes people a bit. Also try to get 'crossing England in a Straight Line', or some such printed on the front of the hoodies, it looks a bit more 'official', and again relaxes people. If something looks seriously dodge in advance, then it would help to knock on their door when doing the recee, though this may of course backfire. Great content all the same, loves the IoM trip as well. Best of luck with future projects.

This is a great British countryside documentary.

Only heard about you guys from GeoWizard but very much enjoyed this. The additional angles, drone shots etc make up for the lack of 8-bit music.

Y'all and GeoWizard might be in friendly, straight-lining competition with each other, but the real winners of this rivalry are us viewers who get double the amount of epic, missioning content 😌

I really don't get that angry farmer meme, I was often exploring on farm land as a young lad, they never cared, as long as you respected animals and properties and didn;t act shady. Of course I would not crash over hedges, because I would not be on a straight line mission, I would just enter by the normal fences, where they drive their tractors. But we also often jumped over water ditches, that was part of the fun.

Came here straight from GeoWizard's first video! Looking forward to seeing who the winner is!

Great stuff lads. I appreciate yours and Tom's style equally I must say, Tom is more of a storyteller and draws us deep into the mission whereas you just bash on, chat to all the farmers you can possibly find and generally don't give too much of a shit 😂
