Guys if there was ever a reason to like one of my videos, it’s that you’ll collectively save lives by doing so. Let’s get this video out there and make the world a slightly better place. Thank you 🙏
Shotout to the cameraman, to be able to keep up with two ultramarothoners and a hardened adventurer who'd been training all while lugging about a big camera and getting good footage is proper impressive
@@cameramanstan you can tell towards the end of the video my running form looks crazy. Those compression shorts did me dirty after me hyping about how good they were 😅
Wow I thought that was you mate! Just started watching it and was like Ben? Haha I’m thinking of hiking hadrians wall for a video and a few stays over night on the way
@@DanUnplanned coincidentally, I subbed to your channel literally last night. Same thing happened, a video popped up on my feed and I was like, is that Dan? Very cool travelling videos mate, be sure to film your Hadrian’s Wall trek!
Oh so Russ is that right wing guy. Explains quite a lot of the unlikeable laddishness that's never been there in previous GeoWizard videos, that was all over this one.
@@luckyspursthey both come across pretty centrist, I think you overestimate your ability to categorise people into one dimensional political stereotypes
Man your music will forever remind me of the Covid pandemic lockdown. Your adventuring videos felt cozy, nostalgic and kept me sane during these stressful, crazy years. Your music now has a very soothing effect on me. It reminds me of cozying up inside, feeling safe from the craziness that's happening out there.
Just to clarify: the car thing was a genuine accident, not intentional. There was no scratch or dent on the car, it just left a bit of a dust mark. Ben had a decent look at it 👌
Tom, this might well be your best video yet. The editing, pacing, narrative-it's excellent. Whether or not you ended up completing this (though I bet you did), the creativity and production quality on this short film is already an impressive achievement. I hope you have a long career of making films like this because you have a true talent. S/o to Stan the Marathoner especially, the editing and photography are great.
You are insane and i have no doubt you did the full run! But aside from that, MAD props to cameraman Stan who is doing a casual double marathon (almost triple) with practically zero experience, whilst carrying a camera and filming! What a madlad...
Do you think he‘ll stay with them for the entire run? I was kind of assuming he‘d skip at least the night section. Either way, even by this points, he‘s achieved something incredible!
Crossing countries in a straight line tickled my fancy, but bringing a football into the equation took it over the edge! Well done, mate! Top class entertainment amidst some valuable life lessons.
shout out to the cameraman/editor. not at all a rag on the mission vids to point, because they're excellent, but the upgrade in quality from having a dedicated crew member for that is beyond.
@@rgqwerty63 no it's been Tom editing this whole time, I think he's only fairly recently gotten an editor for his GeoGuessr videos, but all the adventures (save for this one) are edited by Tom himself.
To be perfectly honest, I don't really like this. Aspect ratio aside (I think uncommon nowadays 4:3 has its charm), the editing feels... different. Not worse mind you, just noticably not the same style. One complaint I do have is the subtitle styling (a bit hard to read in places, with the too transparent background and poor font), ideally it'd be a youtube caption instead of in the video (alongside the full one, something like: "English - poor audio" and "English - full"). Also, the different music feels out of place, though I don't really have a problem with that, it is a different series after all :D
You truly are an uncommon man. You have always encouraged people to get out there and challenge themselves, and you obviously care for the mental well being of your fellow humans. Good on you.
Top notch as always, Tom (and team). Lost my dad recently and going through old photos I found a bunch of him and his mates taken on a climbing and sailing trip to Norway in their early 20s. It was strange seeing him so young, so smiley and carefree. Seeing you all out there doing this gives me the same vibes. Y'all will remember this for the rest of your lives, and it's lovely to watch! Shoutout cameraman Stan, hard as nails.
The audio quality at the beginning of the actual mission was way worse than in any other video with all the wind and barely audible talking I was actually annoyed. I didn't like the new music one bit, either. Way more effort for this one for lower quality :/. But still, adventure is adventure, good that there is a new one :)
@@thulyblu5486 Tom is just running three marathons while dribbling a foot ball and this madlad is actually complaining about the audio quality because it is windy.
@@frosd2870 Well even he balanced a seal on his head which in turn balanced a colorful ball on its snout for the entire three marathons that wouldn't make the annoying audio any less annoying. It worked better when he did it alone, not sure why, just sure that it's the case.
let me just say, i was recently seriously injured in a motorbike accident (broke 15 bones), and your channel has tremendously helped me through my recovery. thanks for being you. seriously.
Wow, big respect to all of you and especially to Stan on the camera! Having to keep your equipment under control, be creative, get all the shots and casually run your first marathon at the same time - I am truly impressed! And the footage is definitely worth it!
I'm seriously confused why they didn't get a more athletic person to do the filming. Surely one of the ultra marathoners would've been more suited for it. It feels like we are missing some key piece of information.
Amazing first episode, cant wait for the next! I’ve been a long time viewer and you are a true inspiration to me, I’m 17 and am leaving this weekend to cycle from Lands end to John o groats, one end of the UK to the other, I’m doing it solo and wild camping the way, carrying it all on my cheap Halfords mountain bike. I would like to thank you Tom for being incredibly entertaining through the years but also for how much you have inspired and motivated me. Keep up the fantastic work and keep doing you.
Major props to Stan the cameraman! To come along for the entire journey having only ran 10km's before in his life on top of having to carry all the camera equipment is dedication and then some!

Solid work Tom! I am really looking forward to the conclusion of this series. Thank you so much for putting money to much needed awareness. Depression can hit us hard and the way out is not always easy to be found. As long as we are pushing towards a brighter future, no matter how it meanders, we are at least a little closer. I think the joy that you felt at the beginning of this journey and the despair that can come from things not working out as planned are a great metaphor for digging out from depression. Good on ya mate.
Damn, quality is really off the charts for this video. I love how you made it visually better and more interesting, but still kept the amateur vibes that keep this content from feeling like a staged TV-show.
Thanks for the adventures Tom. I feel like when I'm trapped in a trance or feel stuck in my life, I can live vicariously through your feats. Much love from Texas!
I was very pleasantly surprised to see you've included Richard Dawson in the soundtrack! Such a great artist! Loving this journey, man. You're a hell of a guy!
Richard Dawson was totally new to me, I'm so grateful to have discovered him through this video! Been listening to him nonstop for the past few days. Plus the track fits perfectly.
Tom, thanks for teaching what a "megs" is.... the day after I watched this video I got "tricky soccer moves" as a crossword puzzle clue and because of you I was able to work out that the answer was NUTMEGS. Also, great job putting your team together and as usual, you are delivering big with your great storytelling skills! Can't wait for part 2
Always leaving us on great cliffhangers. Just when things are starting to look a little bleak. Can't wait for part 2! And once again, fair play to you for even attempting this, whether or not you actually achieved it in the end. You're an absolute nutter in the best way imaginable.
As an avid trail and mountain runner (ultra marathoner by default), I was so happy to see a popular channel I like bringing some attention to the sport I love!
Awesome first part dude! Thought these vids couldn’t get any spicier and then I heard Richard Dawson! Big fan here. Keep it up can’t wait for part 2. 🤙
This is genuinely the best TH-cam video I have ever watched. From the camerawork and just the amount of effort put into this and the fact that it’s all for an amazing cause just makes me so inspired and I really want to thank you for this fucking masterpiece
Thank you for your hard work and content. You are by far my favorite channel on TH-cam. Been on a GeoWizard marathon last couple of days while ill, keeping my spirits up. God bless
Massive respect for you, not only for doing this almost impossible challenge, but also for the awareness you're spreading over such an important issue.
The bird is a juvenile jackdaw! Judging by the lack of a closed foot ring, just a wild one. They're very smart! If you give him food, he'll probably remember you and spread the word amongst his jackdaw friends that you're nice However the wildlife rehabber in me needs to say: don't try to tame down wild birds on purpose. This one is already so tame that it doesn't hurt to just chuck him some food occasionally. But if he gets hurt and brought to a wildlife shelter, they won't be allowed to release him.
Amazing effort, well done on what you’ve raised so far too. I reckon when this goes live the donations will absolutely shoot up too. Can’t wait for part 2 👏🏼
Feel like the algorithm has done you dirty with this video, as me and a few friends are big fans of your videos but none of us saw this in our feed until today, strange! Great video as always
Good stuff as always, Tom. The production quality is certainly a bit higher, but I have to say that the magic of your older stuff was the combination of your inner monologue, the tunes, the aspect ratio, the way it all fit together - it was more than the sum of its parts! This feels like a high-end knock-off, if that even makes sense. Still looking forward to part two, and it's all for a good cause, so bravo sir.
This is incredible. I'll be honest, I was skeptical about the idea of this challenge when you first pitched it (mainly because I'm not a big sports guy, so something to do with football didn't sound all that interesting) but I can now say with confidence that my skepticism was completely misplaced. Tom, this might be the best challenge you've ever done. And the production value! It's insane. Props not only to you for attempting this but all the rest of the crew for tagging along, I'm in such bad shape I could probably barely jog a kilometer or two without stopping and you guys are all able to keep up with each other. Great editing and camerawork too. 10/10, looking forward to the next part!
Will always love just you and the camera as that is what makes your adventure videos what they are, but also really like this setup with a cameraman and crew. Great vid as always Tommy boy
Thank you Tom, and the rest of the team for making such great content for such a great cause! I genuinely think this is the best channel on TH-cam -Abelwell Tipplewick
7:13 that's some really cool advice for life actually! I know that lows are just as important as highs but I never thought of scheduling them, I'm gonna try doing that from now on. Thanks for that little nugget of wisdom, Russ :) Also 34:48 lol
This is so incredibly entertaining - great edit, great pace and a genuinely important mission - looking forward to bumping into you on one of your challenges
Absolutely incredible effort mate. Love that you're raising awareness for depression aswell. Been struggling with that shit for a while now myself and just this video's existence gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside :D
A good friend of mine has taken his own life this past week, its hit us all so hard. He was one of the nicest kindest people Iv ever met In my life and I’m going to miss him so much. If you can save just one person Tom I want to say thank you now on their behalf, and on their friends and families behalf coz they will probably never know they need to thank you. This pain is awful and the guilt you feel that you maybe missed some sort of cry for help is a heavy burden. I don’t wish that on anyone. And if anyone out there feeling like there is no other option and are reading these comments and happens to see this, take my advice, just talk to a friend or family member please, I know it’s hard coz you don’t want to feel like a burden or you don’t want to come across as weak, your loved ones will never think that of you but my god will they miss you when you are gone.
Thanks Tom, always a fantastic storyteller and inspiring adventurer, and the super solid crew! Sad that this series will only be two episodes, but really looking forward to the next one. P.S.: the unexpected inclusion of Richard Dawson was really cool, but never stop using your great songs!!
This is probably my favourite series so far. Not dealing with grumpy old people and security. Just a bunch of banter on a ridiculous mission with your mates.
Shoutout to the cameraman/editor. Keeping up is no small feat, and the subtitles really stood out as a good addition, especially when things were off mic!
Really love the style of your videos. Outlandish enough to be interesting and real enough to foster a feeling of companionship. Don’t let anyone tell you that you need shorter videos. I didn’t even notice that this was 40 minutes. Glad to see that people are donating! Keep it up man!! Can’t wait for part two
I absolutely loved watching this. Tom, you’re an inspiration! Not only are you helping raise money for a charity against depression - I can give you my own personal thanks for inspiring me to try to have more adventure in my life. I’ve struggled with my own depression and other issues, but this year has been lighter and more fun, at least in part because of you.
Man, finally I get to see this. I was really looking forward to it. You're amazing, dude. Also, I really have to appreciate the editing on this video. A level of quality never seen before on this channel. Good job to the editor(s)!
You're an absolute legend Tom, this is such an awesome mission. Just another feather in your cap of top quality, well-meaning and just plain awesome tomfoolery. I'm pretty local (kidderminster), and really hope I can bump into you one day to say thanks in person.
Hey Tom, great video and a great cause which I donated to! But... 27:15, that did make me a bit uncomfortable. Something similar has happened to my car and although it may seem like a laugh at the time, it's a real pain in the ass - especially when someone's car is their pride and joy!
Have to agree, it’s pretty scummy behaviour to run away after you notice you’ve marked the car. Not to mention that it wasn’t even their ball, they were just kicking someone else’s ball off into the distance- leave other people’s stuff alone! I bet they would’ve all been sulking if a passerby had hoofed their ball off the path…
Bro Tom is such a champ. Trailblazing, living and inspiring via the digital universe. Big ups Tom, and thanks for your words on mental health. Look forward to pt2.
You deserve more views! I've rewatched your in real life challenges multiple times this is because of your great editting and narration. Keep up the good work! Keen to see more missions and challenges!
Thank you for being a mens mental health advocate. With so many terrible male influences online lately (that Tate idiot), it’s great to see someone contributing to a positive effort. Cheers mate!
You're a miracle, Tom. If only there were much more people like you in this world, it could be a dream! I wish you'll always be such a nice friend, husband, and a man. Best regards
Absolute class, love all your straight line videos and challenges like that, definitely some of the best narrated stuff on TH-cam , can’t wait for the next instalment as always

Massive respect for you, not only for doing this almost impossible challenge, but also for the awareness you're spreading over such an important issue.
Well done on all the money raised mate. Amazing effort.
These adventures are the BEST content on TH-cam I have ever seen. Always get proper excited when I see one of these pop up on my feed, GET IN
The bird is a juvenile jackdaw! Judging by the lack of a closed foot ring, just a wild one. They're very smart! If you give him food, he'll probably remember you and spread the word amongst his jackdaw friends that you're nice
However the wildlife rehabber in me needs to say: don't try to tame down wild birds on purpose. This one is already so tame that it doesn't hurt to just chuck him some food occasionally. But if he gets hurt and brought to a wildlife shelter, they won't be allowed to release him.
Absolutely fantastic choice with that Richard Dawson track. Love that album.
Amazing effort, well done on what you’ve raised so far too. I reckon when this goes live the donations will absolutely shoot up too. Can’t wait for part 2 👏🏼
Great stuff Tom! Nice to see a fellow Richard Dawson fan as well!
Looking forward to the announced straight line mission across Belgium. Keep up the good work :)
Feel like the algorithm has done you dirty with this video, as me and a few friends are big fans of your videos but none of us saw this in our feed until today, strange! Great video as always
Truly amazing. Mad props to entire crew and can’t wait for second part to see your victory, Tom!
Didn’t think I’d be hearing Richard Dawson. Peasant is my favourite album
Good stuff as always, Tom. The production quality is certainly a bit higher, but I have to say that the magic of your older stuff was the combination of your inner monologue, the tunes, the aspect ratio, the way it all fit together - it was more than the sum of its parts! This feels like a high-end knock-off, if that even makes sense. Still looking forward to part two, and it's all for a good cause, so bravo sir.
This is incredible. I'll be honest, I was skeptical about the idea of this challenge when you first pitched it (mainly because I'm not a big sports guy, so something to do with football didn't sound all that interesting) but I can now say with confidence that my skepticism was completely misplaced. Tom, this might be the best challenge you've ever done. And the production value! It's insane. Props not only to you for attempting this but all the rest of the crew for tagging along, I'm in such bad shape I could probably barely jog a kilometer or two without stopping and you guys are all able to keep up with each other. Great editing and camerawork too. 10/10, looking forward to the next part!
Will always love just you and the camera as that is what makes your adventure videos what they are, but also really like this setup with a cameraman and crew. Great vid as always Tommy boy
Thank you Tom, and the rest of the team for making such great content for such a great cause!
I genuinely think this is the best channel on TH-cam

7:13 that's some really cool advice for life actually! I know that lows are just as important as highs but I never thought of scheduling them, I'm gonna try doing that from now on. Thanks for that little nugget of wisdom, Russ :)
Also 34:48 lol
Interesting for sure. My only question is how exactly do you do that lol
holy i was just dying when the sheep answered back
Oh that Richard Dawson song was such a beautiful add! Love that record
This is so incredibly entertaining - great edit, great pace and a genuinely important mission - looking forward to bumping into you on one of your challenges
Absolutely incredible effort mate. Love that you're raising awareness for depression aswell. Been struggling with that shit for a while now myself and just this video's existence gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside :D
been looking forward to this one. excited to see you give it a go!
Yes mate! Richard Dawson is brilliant! I like you even more for using his music in this brilliant episode
A good friend of mine has taken his own life this past week, its hit us all so hard. He was one of the nicest kindest people Iv ever met In my life and I’m going to miss him so much. If you can save just one person Tom I want to say thank you now on their behalf, and on their friends and families behalf coz they will probably never know they need to thank you. This pain is awful and the guilt you feel that you maybe missed some sort of cry for help is a heavy burden. I don’t wish that on anyone.
And if anyone out there feeling like there is no other option and are reading these comments and happens to see this, take my advice, just talk to a friend or family member please, I know it’s hard coz you don’t want to feel like a burden or you don’t want to come across as weak, your loved ones will never think that of you but my god will they miss you when you are gone.
Thanks Tom, always a fantastic storyteller and inspiring adventurer, and the super solid crew! Sad that this series will only be two episodes, but really looking forward to the next one. P.S.: the unexpected inclusion of Richard Dawson was really cool, but never stop using your great songs!!
27:14 Imagine an evil prank where you put footballs everywhere but they are actually super heavy and made of metal 😫
This is probably my favourite series so far. Not dealing with grumpy old people and security. Just a bunch of banter on a ridiculous mission with your mates.
wow, big step up in production compared to your other adventure videos. Props! to you and everyone who made this video possible
Shoutout to the cameraman/editor. Keeping up is no small feat, and the subtitles really stood out as a good addition, especially when things were off mic!
The agonizing wait for the next episode starts now…. This is by far the most entertaining content I know of on TH-cam…. these videos are gold.
Imposter
@@JohnSmith-hs3po haha I found another John Smith recently as well.
Really love the style of your videos. Outlandish enough to be interesting and real enough to foster a feeling of companionship. Don’t let anyone tell you that you need shorter videos. I didn’t even notice that this was 40 minutes. Glad to see that people are donating! Keep it up man!! Can’t wait for part two
What an insane mission. Can't wait for part 2!
I absolutely loved watching this. Tom, you’re an inspiration! Not only are you helping raise money for a charity against depression - I can give you my own personal thanks for inspiring me to try to have more adventure in my life. I’ve struggled with my own depression and other issues, but this year has been lighter and more fun, at least in part because of you.
Man, finally I get to see this. I was really looking forward to it.
You're amazing, dude.
Also, I really have to appreciate the editing on this video. A level of quality never seen before on this channel. Good job to the editor(s)!
Absolutely mental, definitely one of your best videos yet - Can't wait for part two! Also huge love for using Two Halves.
You're an absolute legend Tom, this is such an awesome mission. Just another feather in your cap of top quality, well-meaning and just plain awesome tomfoolery.
I'm pretty local (kidderminster), and really hope I can bump into you one day to say thanks in person.
The music fits so well with everything, i'm glad you grew so much, absolutely deserved
Hey Tom, great video and a great cause which I donated to! But... 27:15, that did make me a bit uncomfortable. Something similar has happened to my car and although it may seem like a laugh at the time, it's a real pain in the ass - especially when someone's car is their pride and joy!
Have to agree, it’s pretty scummy behaviour to run away after you notice you’ve marked the car. Not to mention that it wasn’t even their ball, they were just kicking someone else’s ball off into the distance- leave other people’s stuff alone! I bet they would’ve all been sulking if a passerby had hoofed their ball off the path…
@@alant84 Exactly!
It was also disappointing to see the harassment of livestock. So unnecessary.
He says in a comment that it wasn't damaged, just a dust mark
@@cshaffrey3438 Yes, I think he posted that after I'd written my comment. Good to know there was no damage.
Bro Tom is such a champ. Trailblazing, living and inspiring via the digital universe. Big ups Tom, and thanks for your words on mental health. Look forward to pt2.
You deserve more views! I've rewatched your in real life challenges multiple times this is because of your great editting and narration. Keep up the good work! Keen to see more missions and challenges!
You are seriously impressive mate. From the whole inception of the idea to the execution, to narrating it with your imaginative style. Massive props.
Thank you for being a mens mental health advocate. With so many terrible male influences online lately (that Tate idiot), it’s great to see someone contributing to a positive effort. Cheers mate!

Wrong
"Two Halves" is such an amazing song, Richard Dawson is a great artist... He also has the song "Jogging", also a good fit :D
You're a miracle, Tom. If only there were much more people like you in this world, it could be a dream! I wish you'll always be such a nice friend, husband, and a man.
Best regards

@@PseudoPolish oh I see! no worries :D
Absolute class, love all your straight line videos and challenges like that, definitely some of the best narrated stuff on TH-cam , can’t wait for the next instalment as always
