    Sharing these videos with you all has been one of the highlights of my life. Me and Greg have loved nothing more than a good adventure since we were nippers and being able to present our greatest journey yet to so many like minded people is the greatest gift we could ever ask for. Here's to another storming year of adventure on the GeoWizard channel.

      Yes! I think this one was the best because they had more time to actually do things and enjoy their surroundings instead of trying to rush to meet time deadlines. The more open they can be with the timing of things the better I think these videos will be. Though don't get me wrong, they are already fantastic!

    When I watched the first episode I thought this series, while good, couldn't match the magical Mission Across Wales; I thought it was a bit too busy, not (semi) relaxing like the other. But come that point in episode 2 when you found that egg-serving thing in the middle of the countryside, I had realised that this series is not only on par (maybe even better) than the Wales Mission, but easily one of the best things I've seen on TH-cam. I especially liked the parts where you were traveling through open country, because (this is also what made the Mission Across Wales series great in my opinion) it felt serene, but also very funny thanks to the unparalleled fantasticness that is you and Greg. I think my favourite episode was the kayak one. Hearing George Ezra's Shotgun in January 2020 was pretty surreal to say the least.
