Ahead of us, nothing but fields. Our spirits were up.

Welsh Greg was not fazed, but with my boots already having filled themselves with swamp water only 5 minutes earlier, I was definitely not in the mood for a swim.

[@FortunePayback]

Originally watched the 1st Mission Across Wales video when it came out, thought it was cool, and just kind of left it at that. Decided 4 years later that I wanted to go watch it again because I remember it being such a fun adventure, and the commentary was enjoyable. To my pleasure, Tom uploaded 7 more missions! All jam packed with more adventure, a few just a complete rollercoaster of emotion. Absolutely love the mischief this man goes through, and having taken the last few days to binge watch through all of them...needless to say, I cannot wait to see more in the future. Gorgeous OST, awesome bloke, smashing fun, and just riveting adventure. I simply can not get enough.

This is the best album since Minecraft Alpha!

[@JorisKeijser]

Fun fact: Ever since I first heard the songs I wanted to know what they were, and asked multiple times in the comments. Never found out. Then just now I was going through my discover weekly on spotify and heard "An Opening". I was completely petrified and hit by nostalgia and was trying to remember what it was from. Then the vision of that 4:3 Welsh land along with your voice started to form and then I realised. Seems like spotify knows me creepily well, but I'm thankful for finding it.

I will definitely buy it and be listening to this album on all the hikes and adventures I'll be doing, thinking of you!! Right now I go on hikes every weekend, ramping it up every time, hopefully soon we'll be ready to tackle the Pacific Northwest Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail! Next year when I'm out of high school, I plan on taking a year off, and traveling Europe in all the wrong ways just like you, we'll see what happens. Maybe I'll start a KZbin channel for that one, and compose my own 16 bit album for that. I'll call myself the GeoWizardImposter. Lol. This album will definitely be in my ears the whole time though. The start of every track brought another huge grin that didn't wear off throughout the whole thing, even the new tracks, they fit in so well. Good times. Can't wait for this covid stuff to be over so I can watch more of your adventures! P.S. The Bandcamp link didn't work for me, but when I cut off the end, it brought me to the right page: amynedd.bandcamp.com/ but I can't buy it for some reason, the Buy button doesn't do anything. Maybe I need to sign up first? Or because I'm in America? Please let me know if there is something I'm doing wrong or once you fix the problem. I really want to buy this album. Also is there a place where I can get that sick album cover so I can print it out and put it in a CD jewel? Thank you so much for everything you do! P.P.S. There is a typo in the description, it says "Hot not to travel Europe" instead of "How...". Lol. Edit: So the "Buy Album" doesn't work, but clicking on the black "Digital Album" pulls up the "Buy Album" prompt... Weird.
