- Firstly, We highly recommend watching with subtitles! They make the video a lot better as some parts are a little hard to catch things we say due to the nature of the adventure!
IMPORTANT - Please also let Finn know in the comments he deserves an Oscar for his performance
Hello!
Welcome to Episode 4 of the straight line mission across New Zealand, a project Finn and I spent months working on after being inspired by Tom Davies (@GeoWizard on TH-cam), one of the most entertaining video makers on the internet! full credit to him for inspiration for the whole project, editing and music style. We both had a lot of fun and are really proud of our adventure - we hope you enjoy watching the series as much as just a fraction of how much we enjoyed doing it!

Hey guys,
As always watch in 1080p with subtitles (few bits are windy) for best experience! Let us know what you think ❤️
So… what’s y’all’s beef with Auckland?
@@leeartlee915 no one likes Auckland 🤓
@@ollie_taylorI'm in Auckland and even I know Welly's better
GeoWizard attempts his lines in winter in camouflaged cothing, these two go in the height of summer wearing bright orange I love it
Two hobbits walking through the Shire in a straight line
Ollie’s spirit joke deserves more credit
I don’t know if it’s how you guys decided to edit this or something but you seem to do this straight line mission quite effortlessly. I know, of course, it must have been hard work (brutal at parts) but you have such a good attitude throughout the thing. I think that’s the thing I’ve been the most impressed about. I’ve seen quite a few of these Tom Davies inspired adventures and I can say without a shadow of a doubt you guys are my favorite of all of them.
Cheers.
Thanks for the kind words :), it's fair to say we're pretty nonchalant and like to keep things optimistic!
That was super considerate of the owner of the ill tempered bull. Though I do admit I was looking forward to you guys going “oh no, that bull is giving us the evil eye”.
hottest release of 2022
Yay! Waited for this, lovely new episode! The timelapse along the straight road looks cool!
I think if I take anything from this, it's the need to bring a climbing ladder.
Lay it across blackberry bushes, use it to climb fences.
I've just watched ep 5, and the video after that was about you carrying a ladder...
Fantastic series of videos. Awesome quality and editing. What an achievement!!!
Just when they think they're safe, they're gonna climb a mountain and cross paths with the legendary mountain cow. Kebabin time
I've been waiting since the last one! I subscribed just so I could see this! Great videos and I am glad I subscribed! Countinue the mission!
Glad your enjoying :)
That timelapse along the road was awesome!! Thanks for the video guys, good work, I particularly approve of your method of asking permission, talking to people, etc. and I think you have shown that that method is effective.
Just a point regarding that long straight road (you may have already done this as you said you did a lot of planning): it would be possible to tweak the angle of the line slightly by planning it (the line) on one side of the road at one end and then the opposite side of the road at the other. The road looks quite wide, I have estimated 5 metres including the verges, based on this and a rough measurement of your complete line I calculated you could rotate the line by up to 0.1° either way, meaning a possible adjustment in the start point (North West) up to 49 metres either way and the end point (South East) up to 137 metres. You could even move it more if you assumed you could go off the planned line by a certain distance, say within 25 metres when planning a platinum run, especially considering the road is a well known entity that you could expect to walk in a precice trajectory. Sorry you probably didn't want to hear that now!
Hey man, glad to hear you enjoyed the watch! Luckily when planning the line drawing the line perfectly straight along the road gave us a very optimal line, however you do raise an excellent point as we absolutely could have had a bunch of permutations while still staying on the one road! I think your point of changing few tenths of a degree resulting in very significant over many kilometers is paramount when it comes to the adjusting stage of line planning. While we didn't actually use it much for the final line which we kinda stumbled upon, we had many weeks of doing so for other possible lines we were looking at!
Literally one of the best videos ever! The editing, little animations and drawings, EVERYTHING was just so entertaining! Your line choice and determination is truly incredible to get to this point with only a (realistically) tiny deviation of only 50 metres! Truly insane!
I see that you didn’t complete the straight line as there’s only 1 episode left, but hey, this is genuinely some of the best content ever on TH-cam 👏
Such a fun series to watch! I'm stealing the " our beef with the bovines" line!
The editing and music for that straight stretch of road was very enjoyable! 😁
Glad you enjoyed 😀
I was afraid you quit the channel. Thanks for the new update, you guys are awesome.
I guess it was a relief to not have to stare at the gps for a few kilometres as you walked down that road.
Very pleased to see another episode, very interesting to see the country side through the eyes of what I have to assume are town dwellers, looking forward to the next one as well as hoping you will keep us up to date with your trip through life, I suspect there will be some interesting adventures ahead.
i'm loving this series, you are intelligent, eloquent and respectable young men, you have gained a sub :) love from the UK
I'm really glad to see you release another installment.
Way to go lads, looking forward to the conclusion whatever the result.
I know it's in the past but best of luck for day 3 it looks like a challenge.
My favourite show on TH-cam. When's the next one coming out. I can't wait.
What a great adventure. You lads are absolutely killing it with this mission. Memories forever as well
Can't wait for the next episode!
Such great content! Geowizard must be proud!
And we are back! I've been looking forward to the continuation of this straight-line mission. The next leg of this journey seems, treacherous.
Really amazing again guys, great editing and subtitles, also great job not getting gored!
Great stuff as always!
You could have taken an earthing stick, to temporally short out electric fences whilst you scale them. Maybe even built that feature into your backpacks!
Electric fences are earthed. That's how they work
that's some really cool work there with the 360 camera and the timelapse, at first i couldn't figure out how it was being done, then i realized it's a timelapse with a 360 camera while panning around, pretty cool. Geo wizard could probably learn a thing from this, haha.
Flawless three point turn 😂
Brings back so many fond memories! I had the pleasure of going all the way from Otago to northland back in 2018 and actually stayed a couple of days at the campsite in himatangi beach :) wish I could be down there again! Also, great editing and overall quality!
omg, looking forward to watching this so much. you guys are awesome!
Great editing! So interesting to watch these
Really enjoyed the time lapse of the long road!
Excited for the next episode. As steep as the mountains are, it surely looks beautiful... also serious cheers to the landowner for all that effort, insane. I enjoyed the clever puns at 3:30. Shame about the platinum run but it's kind of a no-brainer as I would rather have you both survive. I take the deer at 23:12 as a sign. Good video!
I love the fact that you have a better understanding of the whole theoretical monkey/typewriter thing than Joe Rogan does.
Also, I have had a pine cone fall from a tree and hit me in the head.
Love the series guys, great quality content!
This is epic! Every video I look forward to the next. such and epic challenge.
Awesome stuff boys, makes me want to go do it with you
Finally continuing to watch this series after 7 months 🤣 New Zealand is so breathtakingly beautiful
haha the question "is that a track" gives me many memories of rogaines!
you guys are awesome. Had this idea when i was young so glad to see its actually a thing, hope one day ill have the legs to do it as well. stay safe
That little barrel edit on the straight road was so smooth !
Finally, been waiting for a loooooong time ❤️
Enjoy!!!
You deserve more subs! Your content is awesome and love the shots you get
Only recently came across your channel... Have followed Geowizard's exploits... Great content..Great presentation alongside... Hopefully see you guys attempting some other crazy challenge again soon... Great Stuff....Great Entertainment 👍
A comment for support 👍
Are you guys brothers or best friends because you guys make a great duo.
Honestly with the matching outfits you look like a couple of Tradies on a bad acid trip
NZ is really beautiful, what a landscape and the contrast to the Wales/Scotland crossing videos is interesting.
Also what are your legs made of that you don't walk with long trousers. I think I'd go for thinnest possible in this situation, to keep a lot of stuff away from the legs :)
Good thing you did the door knocking strategy rather than Geowizard's stealth approach. He might've run head first into that bull. Also good thing that land owner was so awesome. Pretty daring to try it anyway, but luckily it worked out.
Did you research what the instantaneous gradient would be all along the track, to check you weren’t going to end up scaling a cliff?
maybe if i ever make it up to northland i'll try a straight line mission, much of the northland peninsula is less than 10km wide ;)
nice one boys
Great to get to the 4th amazing vid! BTW the monkey on a typewriter theory is actually wrong: the chances of it randomly writing the complete works of Shakespeare is not small, or even vanishingly small. It is zero!
Yes Yes Yes!!!!
Shudder. I don't want to think about straight-lining the Tararuas. Oh well, time to watch and see how you got on!
How many episodes do you reckon you will end up with?
couple sussy baka moments in there, the bull being "an imposter" and so you called an "emergency meeting". rather sus if you ask me
Welsh farmers don't come out of this looking too well !
Being disabled, trying to act "macho" was never on my radar, but my peers did try to act that way, and they wouldn't have worn matching clothes and describe the effect as "cute", so kudos.
i wonder if the landowners who warned you about the bull were just pranking you
among us
Ahhh only gold I can see why Geo was ur choice of person to follow he failed too... you guys need to do it again this was a total fail I bet someone could do this with their eyes closed.
