I attempted to cross England in a completely straight line. (PART 1)

The straight line mission and all it's glorious pointlessness peaks right here with what is undoubtedly the most ridiculously ambitious jaunt I've ever attempted. 68 miles across the most rugged and remote areas of my home country in the darkest depths of winter, battling oceans of hellish forests, unrivalled amounts of farmland and countless more seriously dodgy obstacles. All of this with my rivals (who embark 4 days later) breathing down my neck.
Join me and my new and improved support crew as I aim to become the first person to cross England in a completely straight line, hopefully achieving what I never thought was possible.
Some speech might be difficult to hear - use good speakers/headphones if possible and use the man made subtitles

As usual thank you all so much for your patience while I edited this one up. As you can imagine with the arrival of the baby (who has now been born!) it was slightly more tricky, but with the help of my new editor (huge thank you to everyone who emailed btw!) we just about got it done in time. I want to make it clear that the fun and adventure will not be diminishing just because I’m a dad. Not only do I live for it, but entertaining you guys is my livelihood. I don’t intend to throw that away! On that note, if you could give this video a like to get the ball rolling views wise, I’d be so grateful to you all. Cheers all! 🍻

I remember back in like 2019, in august or something, when I first discovered the straight line missions. The music made the episodes feel magical in a way. Like you were brought into some type of fairytale, a game, or a story straight out of a book. The narrating was perfect, and the obstacles and whole concept of adventure was something you imagined as a kid; "What if I were to just walk completely straight from here? Would I end up in China?". Someone brought the magical idea to life, and to the surface of the internet, and that someone was none other than out beloved Tom. The there was the more urband No Roads Mission, which also fulfilled some childhood ideas of mine! Best KZbinr I think.

Pro-tip: When using a torch at night, if you don't want to be seen put some red translucent acrylic over it, it will filter out all light apart from red light which has the longest wavelength and scatters becoming less visible at distance. Will also be safer travelling through the field of cows at night, as their sight is dichromatic - they only see blue and yellow wavelengths. Whilst they do see excellently at night, all sight requires some light or low light, and whilst they have a wide range of vision they only see well directly in front of them, in low light (or red light) conditions, it wouldn't be far at all. Something to keep in mind for future journeys to keep you from being hurt... Or worse, spotted! (P.S. Fantastic content and my sincerest congratulations on fatherhood!)

Another important benefit is that red light doesn't ruin you night vision (or at least not nearly as much as white light does). So if Tom needed to switch the light off, he wouldn't have to wait several minutes for his eyes to adapt to the darkness.

@@TheAngelsHaveThePhoneBoxThis may not work for Tom covering long distances, but if you need to use any kind of light in pitch darkness, keep one eye closed, do whatever you need to do and then switch the light off. The closed eye will still be acclimatised to the darkness when you open it. 👍🏻

As you've already realized, cut-proof gloves don't offer much protection against getting poked; they only prevent your hand from getting sliced open, so they aren't a good choice for working with thorns. I'd recommend a nice, thick pair of heavy duty leather gloves in the future.

Actually, I have poke-proof gloves looking similar. You need to check the EN 338, it is a number combination somewhere on the gloves or the package. It looks like this: 3431X. The second position is cut resistance and the forth position is puncture resistance. So in the example, you have gloves with a high cut resistance (category 4), but with a low puncture resistance (category 1).

Another classic mission. Far better filmed and edited than the competition! I eagerly anticipate the next episode. Judging by the preview you will be crossing forestry brash. I have probably given this advice before: Pick up two solid shoulder high sticks and use them as extra limbs. They need to be that long and no longer (too high and they catch overhead branches). You can chuck them away as soon as you have finished with them. This is by far the safest way of crossing that most treacherous of all terrain. Trust me, I'm a pensioner (that means I made it this far without injuring or killing myself on similar mad expeditions).

Congrats on becomming a dad! I am sure you will be a good dad. Also thanks for the good content! I always love to imagine how those farmers see you from their livingroom window and just wonder what kind of weird guy is running across their field :D

I'm a bit late, but Congratulations to you and Verity! Been here since your first straight line mission, which inspired me try something similar with my friends and ever since then my life was never the same. This year we hiked around 280km through our beautiful Slovakian nature, continuing the SNP route for the third year. I honestly don't think I'd do it if I hadn't find you, Tom. Keep being you and much love ❤❤

Amazing news man! Been watching since the first straight-line mission, and I'm also having a baby around the same time (due in around 7 weeks from now!). All the best and although the future missions may not be as long in the future, they will inspire the likes of me who hopes to bring his child up to have the sense of adventure you have!

It was August 2019 when I was served your first Wales video by the algorithm. I decided to click it and I was absolutely hooked. I was there with you in Wales. Since then, it has always been a blast following your adventures. And as in Wales 1, the first video in a new straight line mission is a magical moment for me. Thank you past Tom, for deciding to go on such an awesome adventure.

I know this sounds like a big project but doing a straight line in Sweden is probably very possible. We have a law called "Allemansrätten (All man's right)" and that basically makes it legal for you to cross any forest, fields and even pastures. The only thing you'll have to look out for is not destoying or annoying the owner or the nature. You can even camp so long you're at a long enough distance from the owner's house. Great vid btw!
