I appreciate your effort and can't even imagine the work that goes into these adventures. Well done! You have more gumption than I'll ever have. But with that said, I honestly prefer the videos of you playing geoguesser and even more the ones of you working out where people are from old photos. Take that for whatever its worth.
Hey Tom, the toilet bummer here. Absolute pleasure to have met you, the offer still stands you'll know where to find me. All the best to you and your family!
You have to really care about people to have the courage to go up to homeless people at night to ask if they want to talk and bring them food. That guy is a hero
remember that homeless people are just that: people. they have had full lives and exist just like us. talk to some of them sometimes, you'll be shocked as to just how normal they are
Yes and if you’re not up for it in the morning, it would have made for a great lunch! Instead he bought (!) sardines (!). Unbelievable, the best meal he got, and left it….
A note on the curry - I’m not a fan of eating it cold when all the fat has congealed (British curry is quite oily) and it was also half eaten which put me off slightly too. I didn’t mean to sound ungrateful though - I was just trying to get a few laughs 😊
I bought a petrol station curry in Ireland when I'd spent more than I'd realized on my hotel, and I tried floating the tin like a boat in some hot water in my sink. 20 minutes later nothing had changed so I had to pop the kettle on and water it down with some boiling water. Wish I'd just gotten a normal meal instead lol
Looe native here. What a fuckin' treat this is! I've been a massive fan of yours for a good few years Tom, but this absolutely takes the cake. Whilst I never tire of watching you ramble around parts of the country that I never have (and in many cases, never will) seen, there's always something so surreal and exciting about watching others explore and experience the place that I'm SO damn lucky to call home. And speaking of home, you literally walked straight under the house where I spent the first 20 years of my life at 25:23 😁 Also gutted to have missed you in Fowey by FIVE DAYS, having not visited for years up until then 😩 Also also, that idyllic little cove you stumbled upon between Polperro and Polruan is called Lansallos, and is one of my absolute favourite and most frequented beaches over the years! Fuckn'ell I could bang-on all day... I'm glad you enjoyed our gorgeous little corner of the world anyway, and I sincerely look forward to part 2. And if you ever find yourself down 'ere again (*cough* north coast *cough*), give us a heads up so I can "coincidentally bump into you" for a chat over a pint 😉
The first "tenner in my pocket" was how I found you and it motivated me to change my actually health from barely walking 1k steps a day to now constantly being on the move. Every time I feel down, like trying to become healthy ain't worth it, you come out with a new video. Thank you for the motivation. ♥
When you said it’s one of the most beautiful places on earth, I thought you must be exaggerating. But no, Cornwall actually looks absolutely incredible! This video might do more than any actual tourism video does
In 1971, 16 years old, I had £15 in my pocket and hitchhiked to Scotland. I came back to Ipswich three weeks later with a fiver. Very hospitable people Scots.
@@Lreserved Prior to that trip l had never been further north than Kings Lynn. I had a tent children used for playing that just let in rain. But people put me up in hotels, their homes. I was offered a job as a fisherman off the north coast and l sometimes wonder what would have happened had l taken it up. I am 69 now and travelled in over 50 countries outside the UK, some many times- Russia six times and the South Pacific (Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomons etc) a couple of times. Always travelled cheap and light. Live in Chester now but going back to Ipswich to see out my days with a Portman Road season ticket
@@thestu4602 Using the Bank of England calculator it’s £184. So l spent £120 in three weeks, £40 a week. Not bad as l was in the pub quite a lot ( being Scotland)
Yet again Britain proves itself as the 🐐 place for a casual drink. Pubs are a cornerstone of our culture and seeking the generosity shown in this episode personifies why we should strive to protect them
Truly! I do believe it has all the spontaneity and adventure of the straight lines without the punishing physical toll. Maybe some people really enjoy the stress of those missions and the farmer encounters but for me the most enjoyable parts were always the human interactions and the exploration of the unknown which this video has much much more of. It really is for me like a full video of what I consider the best parts of some of your other better videos. I hope this blows up
Totally agree. Tom's best videos are the ones where he gets to be creative and outgoing. I find the concept of straight line missions interesting but it gets to a certain point where the amount of planning required to actually pull it off kind of kills the vibe somewhat. Videos like this must surely be more enjoyable to make, and I certainly prefer watching them.
Tom. I love this concept. The uncertainty of where you will sleep, eat, drink, walk but having the confidence that it will be alright. Knowing you are out in the world and also having your ups and downs really makes life more bearable for me. I also honestly love that you're doing this in the UK. Feels very much like you are at home in the entire country. Much love from the Netherlands cheers
Hiya Tom it's the bench here that you slept on that last night, bloody hell you were pissed wernt you, kept mumbling all night, I couldn't get any rest!
Loved watching this. I was very surprised to spot me and my daughter metal detecting on Looe beach (24:15). A lovely evening on the beach with the singing in the background. Glad I didn't spend the night on the pier though.
As a Dutch person whenever English people mentioned Cornwall I thought it was just a generic beachside holiday spot. You've shown some amazing sights! Polperro looks especially beautiful. I can understand why so many English people go there now.
I doubt you'll read this, Tom, but your videos (especially your wonderful series with my fellow Welshman Greg in Europe and America, both of which I've watched many times) got me through a very, very difficult time in my life which, without going into detail, I don't think I'd be around to tell the story without. Thank you for that. You have real talent in making wholesome videos, my friend.
The timing of this is so crazy to me. Been subbed since the first Mission Across Wales, this channel partly rekindled my love for the outdoors and taking exhibitions like this, including a 4 day walk down this very coastal path a few months back armed with a backpack, a tent, snacks and as much beer as I could carry, starting in exactly the same place that Tom did in Plymouth. Maddest part? I was only 3 days ahead of him. Recognised most of the paths he took, I stopped at that exact same beach where he lost his snacks and we even drank in the same pub in Fowey. Blows my mind that had I started just a few days later he probably would have caught up with me. Thanks for this Tom, can't wait for the rest of this series. Keep doing what you do!
Being from Cornwall myself it’s nice to see there are still some nice people around our County, and thanks for showing the beauty of it here. Although they are no longer together The Pier in Looe that you slept on is where my Dad proposed to my Mother. Love the video Tom look forward to the next part ❤️
God bless the random people you met along the way offering help, props to Harry for embracing a random meeting and making a story he can tell to others. True MVP was the bar man letting you have a meal. It’s a real advertisement for the Cornish coast line and generosity of the people along the way.
I'm planning a trip across Europe in the not so distant future, and now I'm feeling like I should add Cornwall to the itinerary, even if it's a bit too similar to my come state.
As an Oregonian, I too was thinking this felt very similar to home, especially with all the blackberries. Love that you ran into one of us and he gave you a Kind bar 😂. That's awesome! Now I really feel the need to visit Cornwall.
Harry telling us about the chain between harbours blew my mind. Raising a chain between harbours to cut incoming ships in half is an incredible idea that I never would've thought about
These sorts of videos, make me want to put a loaf of bread, a box of tea and a good paperback in a rucksack and hop over my garden fence, and disappear over the hills and into the world. This is a magical video
I enjoy your £10 pocket series. The slower pace as we listen to your thoughts as you work through your issues, the scenery, and the humidity of one person to a friend they've only just met.
I love these videos Tom, I love Cornwall, and I love those people who really are kind and generous. This country is and can be the best. We (who live here in the UK) have such a beautiful country, I just wish more people would appreciate it like you do.
This is going to sound weird. My family went to Weymouth earlier this year, we spent a lot of time in the car looking at views. One evening we were going home and we came over the hill to the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen. I actually cried a bit when we left it, because the beauty was something I don't think I'll ever experience again. I don't know why, but when I walk away from something beautiful, I start crying. I don't know why, but it always makes me remember those moments for so long, so I am thankful for it.
Weymouth is underrated. Grandparents lived there for over 30yrs, used to go there every summer for a week. One of the few larger seaside towns that still has a bit of charm and isn't becoming run down
@samtilly7165 My family lived there before I was born. I thought it was a beautiful place and probably out of all the places I've been on holiday, the place I'd choose to live if I had the choice.
@MicahDaJohn I dislike people too much to live somewhere too busy😂 but I do agree it's a really nice place. Lots of people who go there go to the main beach and are completely aware of the hidden gem rocky beaches the other side of Nothe Fort
Thanks Tom for that great video...a little cash to get you to the next town :) Just paid 80 Euro to walk the Cinque Terre in Italy and here's Tom making money on his walk and just as beautiful a place. Thanks for sharing!
Being Spanish myself and a lover of its beautiful Northern coast, I am gladly surprised by the resemblance with Cornwall. Beautiful landscapes and towns that you got up there.
I'm an Englishman that just got back from a trip across the Basque Country, Cantabria and Asturias. I said to everyone it reminds me of Cornwall but a few degrees warmer. Both amazing parts of the world.
Its crazy as someone who has lived in cornwall their entire life just how much of my own county I have not seen. Im 22 and only just now have realised I have never gone on a proper coastal walk, or gone to so many of these beautiful beaches. Thank you for inspiring me GeoWizard! Deffo somthing to do sooner rather then later!
It feels criminal to be able to watch this for free! And wow... the kindness and generosity being shown is truly heartwarming. Thank you so much for taking us all on your epic adventure - can't wait for the next episode! 😄
A lot of people asking about the hot water. In older British houses, the water heater ('boiler') is often supplied from an unpressurised, loosely covered tank of cold water in the roofspace (it's up there to provide some [pathetic] pressure from gravity.) This water may have been sitting in the tank for a while, and if you've ever inspected one of these tanks there's no way you would drink that water. Newer British houses tend to have the water heater fed directly from the mains supply, providing hot water at mains pressure or something close to it. (There is also the question of warm water sitting in pipework as a breeding ground for bacteria, but that applies to any hot water system.)
it's also just sort of unpleasant on a hot day! but yes I'm in canada, with proper electric hot water tanks and new(ish) plumbing, and I also would not drink from the hot water tap. nobody wants legionnaires disease!!
When I was having my house converted to a pressurised water system, the plumbers found a decomposing mouse floating in the water tank in the loft. I'd been bathing in that water!
Another instant classic 😍. One ep in and I'm already considering going and walking the South West Coast Path myself. The 'Tenner in my Pocket' formula is proving to be equally as entertaining as both Straigh Line Missions and the How not to Travel-series. But in a different, more relaxed way. It's like there's a calmness washing over me while I watch this. Don't know if it's just me but this series feels like playing the postgame of a videogame. It's got that same quality to me somehow. You've finished all the main quests and bosses, but you still walk around the map and explore a calmer, friendlier, emptier world. Its beautiful and relaxing, but it invokes reflection and retrospection in all its simpleness.
Yep, I've wanted to walk this path for years but I am getting way too old for it now but this video has made me think again - maybe I could do some of it at least (with more than a tenner in my pocket though).
Omg I loved loved this! It’s 2.30 am in Sedona Arizona where I now live. I have laughed out loud, waking others in the house! That was so lovely to watch and remember beautiful Cornwall. I walked some of that path over many years going there. I had 6 yrs in relationship with locally born partners, and almost moved to Cornwall and Devon at one point. I’ve not been back to the UK since I left in 2008, so thus was such a trip down memory lane.theres a deep love in my heart for these my homelands. It’s so lovely to vicariously be there through you. You’re hilarious too, and it’s wonderful to hear all the accents, and remember the characters! Best thing I have watched in ages, worth being awake in the middle of the night for. By the way this is not my real name. Can’t wait to see part 2 - there better be one!
Hi Tom, I’m from Australia and have been watching your videos for years! You’ve inspired me to book a flight back to the home country to across the beautiful landscape. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
Adventure and freedom from "life's shackles and responsibilities" holds universal appeal. JRR Tolkien understood this. Tom does as well. Very hard for most of us to actually accomplish. Grateful for this channel.
Ah, the beautiful famous Britain Riviera. The famous south coast Britain sunshine. The famously muggy, hot summers that feel like constant +40C. Warm year round climate. Desert yellow looking baked dry grass. Plus of course, those famous crystal clear and immensely enjoyable, warm swimming waters.
I've just had a brutal day at work, coming home seeing this video has turned the day upside down. Always had family holidays in cornwall and devon 10 years ago when i was just a wee boy. Seeing you walk through places I've been was slightly surreal but has made my evening, looking forward to next one. My faith in humanity restored
Cannot believe how stunning those villages are, from middle Canada and never been to the sea but the terraced seaside towns are truly breathtaking. Excellent video and very much looking forward to part 2!
I *love* when the kindness and humanity of the average person is showcased and our favorite "I'm going to be homeless for a while for fun" youtuber always showcases this on all of his misadventures and so I'll always be here to watch them.
What a great video! And just LOVELY countryside, I had no idea Cornwall was so gorgeous!! Great ppl along the way, such a welcoming atmosphere. I said it the second I saw it, the person who wrote on the sign that tourists were not welcome was a loudmouthed mooch and was likely a disrespectful foreigner. Hate to admit it but probably American. It's not that they don't like tourists, it's that they didn't like YOU. Anyone classless enough to deface a public sign because 'mah feelings' is the kind of tourist NOBODY wants to deal with. Thanks to Harry and Will and all the ppl along the trail with a bit of adventure in their hearts! Can't wait for the next epi!!
The somber feeling when the sun goes down if very relatable. Especially now in the beginning of the winter time. When every time I get off work it is just starting to get dark...
29:05 now THAT VIEW is so beautiful. Polperro absolutely looked heavenly. I always enjoy watching your adventure videos and truly makes me want to just set off and go somewhere to just enjoy a nice beautiful sunny day. Can't wait for the next episode!
Hi Tom, I was born and raised in Australia but my family heritage on both sides goes back to the Cornwall region. I definitely would love to visit one day but I know it's going to be a while, but I appreciate you sharing this video, it is lovely to properly see it for the first time.
I love Cornwall! Every summer for 10 or so years growing up me and my family would travel from Norway to walk a section of the south west coast path! Norway is great for walking, but there's something special about arriving to a lovely B&B in a small village each day :) Always such wonderful people, amazing places and stunning views! Been a while since I've been to England and Cornwall, but would love to get back one day :)
Cornwall looks like a sister region to the coasts of West Cork and County Kerry in Ireland. A long stretch of cliffs, beaches and blackberry hedgerows. There's also a strong Celtic connection.
Absolutely amazing Tom. I live in Plymouth and regularly walk the path from Cremyll to Cawsand and beyond and in 2015 walked the entire Cornish section for charity. The generosity I experienced back then with donations and such seems to be still going strong. Can't wait for part 2.
As a fellow janner, it's so nice to see this beautiful walk covered. I walk Plymouth to rame head a lot and it's making me so happy recognising certain signs and fallen trees.
Such a great display of kindness from the folks who left the food on the trail and the lad who left you the bread and the tenner Love from just over the channel in Bretagne 💙
@@UnChatCoquin Lotta cultural revival going on in Cornwall right now with Cornish being revived, very nice to see as I'm Welsh and the Cornish are effectively our brothers and Breton not too far off, all part of the Celtic-Brittonic family.
Been to Devon and Plymouth but Cornwall is just stunning. The towns are beautiful. If I ever get back to England I know where I'm staying. Watching from California.
I absolutely love these types of videos of the countryside. I spent 2 years in England as a child and this reminds me of those days and the friendly people
Brilliant video! Wonderful people! I think Fowey area is my favourite part of the UK. Used to live in Falmouth in the 90s and Cornwall is just plain ace. Please get Harry back on future GeoWizard videos!
Some cornish will scoff at being called English lol, as a people and their language they're more closely related to the Welsh, and a fun fact is, although nowadays they're de-facto considered a county of england, when they were conquered they were never legally incorporated into England and thus are technically a duchy of the UK, although modern laws do not even entertain the idea of that.
@@striderwhiston9897people in wales actually speak Welsh no one in Cornwall speaks Cornish apart from a handful of nationalist loons it’s a dead language
Hey Tom, the lemonade from the last tenner in my pocket here, glad you're having a good time in Wales! I'm still just by the fence where you dropped me with a good 25p of lemonade left. Still up for another mission any time!
I've done similar trips where I spent the bare minimum and mostly lived off the kindness of strangers, hitchhiking and chatting my way through life. Though I never asked people for food or shelter (I had a tent), I'd always feel bad for accepting money as I had some money back home. On my future adventures I'm planning on having two seperate wallets, one for necessities and one to buy others a pint or a meal when the opportunity presents itself. Either won't be too much, as I still don't have much to spend and like the challenge, but it'll feel good to be able to give back, while preserving the nature of the adventure. Love your videos Tom
the first £10 in my pocket video is one of my favourite youtube videos ever in history, literally i watch it now and again and never get bored and i’m so grateful you’ve made another one please keep up the good👍🏽💯🔥
Thank you for this amazing trip. Learned that nature in Cornwall does not look to different from the nature you have in northern spain as a lot of that landscape reminded me of the Camino del Norte

@@ZahhibbDevno bummer does not mean cigarettes friend 😭🤣
@@ZahhibbDev It means toilet seats (probably).

Proper lad:
1. 3 quid for a ferry that saves a day of walking - too much
2. 4.75 for a pint - a bloody good deal

It's an investment 😉
A beer makes you feel better than a ferry journey
My thoughts exactly xD 50% of the budget down the drains
@ 23.75% of the budget because that bloke gave him a tenner

100% - what a Diamond
Also @GeoWizard - Why would you not eat cold curry? if it was a cold night it would have been fine and delicious in the Nan
Yes and if you’re not up for it in the morning, it would have made for a great lunch! Instead he bought (!) sardines (!). Unbelievable, the best meal he got, and left it….
If I saw someone by themself at a pier at night like that, I would have been very concerned they were planning on jumping
From memory, there's only 1 Indian takeaway in the middle of Looe and it's pretty decent. Shame you didn't eat that!
A note on the curry - I’m not a fan of eating it cold when all the fat has congealed (British curry is quite oily) and it was also half eaten which put me off slightly too. I didn’t mean to sound ungrateful though - I was just trying to get a few laughs 😊
Fair, half eaten is a bit gross. Came to the comments cos I was surprised you didn't want to eat it because it was cold. Loving the vid so far!
He may have coughed in it too, best to be cautious haha
definitely should've mentioned it was half eaten, nothing wrong with congealed curry fat! Or, stick it down your pants for a bit to reheat and vioal!
I absolutely love a cold curry the morning after getting a takeaway!
I bought a petrol station curry in Ireland when I'd spent more than I'd realized on my hotel, and I tried floating the tin like a boat in some hot water in my sink. 20 minutes later nothing had changed so I had to pop the kettle on and water it down with some boiling water. Wish I'd just gotten a normal meal instead lol
As ever, this is fantastic. Sorry to leave you a penny short, but here’s most of the budget for the next one.
top man
Wow thanks mate that’s most kind of you!
Hi Tom, Naan bread here. Glad to have filled a gap in your hunger even if I was stone cold. All the best on your future adventures mate!
This is by far the best commercial the Cornwall Tourist Association could ever wish for
From someone who had hardly heard about this region before: I want to go there so bad now!
I'm already planning my trip thanks to Tom. What a gorgeous landscape!
The name Cornwall makes you think it's a dark place not an Island paradise:
I want to go there now :D
@@lootjunior fyi Cornwall isn't an island it's part of mainland Britain😁
@lootjunior makes me think of Iowa, though I suppose you could call that a dark place
The British tourist board could not have made a better video, especially showing how friendly your countrymen are.
i think at one stage he even got offered a free bum
Good year for blackberries, isn't it?
@@yellowfolderNo not really. No 😠
I've found the blackberries really disappointing this year. I'm glad Tom had a better experience.

Tom’s narration is one of the most relaxing things ever.

Totally agree. Tom's best videos are the ones where he gets to be creative and outgoing. I find the concept of straight line missions interesting but it gets to a certain point where the amount of planning required to actually pull it off kind of kills the vibe somewhat. Videos like this must surely be more enjoyable to make, and I certainly prefer watching them.
Could watch 10 hours of this gladly
I second that. Maybe he could release an unedited version😮❤
Tom.
I love this concept. The uncertainty of where you will sleep, eat, drink, walk but having the confidence that it will be alright.
Knowing you are out in the world and also having your ups and downs really makes life more bearable for me.
I also honestly love that you're doing this in the UK. Feels very much like you are at home in the entire country.

As a Dutch person whenever English people mentioned Cornwall I thought it was just a generic beachside holiday spot. You've shown some amazing sights! Polperro looks especially beautiful. I can understand why so many English people go there now.
He's only shown a tiny portion of it too, there's countless more to see!

Looe is also spectacular
@@joegilbert3149 loads in Wales too
The coast is nice, avoid the inland bits though
I doubt you'll read this, Tom, but your videos (especially your wonderful series with my fellow Welshman Greg in Europe and America, both of which I've watched many times) got me through a very, very difficult time in my life which, without going into detail, I don't think I'd be around to tell the story without. Thank you for that. You have real talent in making wholesome videos, my friend.
I'm glad you're still around
Hang in there, friend 💛
Carry on lad 💪 you got this
Keep on going! We wish you well.
🧡
The timing of this is so crazy to me. Been subbed since the first Mission Across Wales, this channel partly rekindled my love for the outdoors and taking exhibitions like this, including a 4 day walk down this very coastal path a few months back armed with a backpack, a tent, snacks and as much beer as I could carry, starting in exactly the same place that Tom did in Plymouth. Maddest part? I was only 3 days ahead of him. Recognised most of the paths he took, I stopped at that exact same beach where he lost his snacks and we even drank in the same pub in Fowey. Blows my mind that had I started just a few days later he probably would have caught up with me. Thanks for this Tom, can't wait for the rest of this series. Keep doing what you do!
Amazing coincidence. I respect your adventurous spirit!
Being from Cornwall myself it’s nice to see there are still some nice people around our County, and thanks for showing the beauty of it here. Although they are no longer together The Pier in Looe that you slept on is where my Dad proposed to my Mother. Love the video Tom look forward to the next part ❤️
God bless the random people you met along the way offering help, props to Harry for embracing a random meeting and making a story he can tell to others. True MVP was the bar man letting you have a meal. It’s a real advertisement for the Cornish coast line and generosity of the people along the way.
I'm planning a trip across Europe in the not so distant future, and now I'm feeling like I should add Cornwall to the itinerary, even if it's a bit too similar to my come state.
47:38 I love that you always bring out the Bear Grylls impression when talking about any sort of nutritional values in the food you eat
Oh Harry! My heart. What an absolute sweetheart of a man. This was beautiful Tom, can't wait for part 2.
Top geezer
Thanks, you’ve made my day ;)
@@harryrobinson3506 Nice tie btw mate
As an Oregonian, I too was thinking this felt very similar to home, especially with all the blackberries. Love that you ran into one of us and he gave you a Kind bar 😂. That's awesome! Now I really feel the need to visit Cornwall.
Harry telling us about the chain between harbours blew my mind. Raising a chain between harbours to cut incoming ships in half is an incredible idea that I never would've thought about
It's such a fascinating bit of history, a little slice into the past
There was famously one across the Bosphorus straits when Constantinople was the great Byzantine capital to stop enemy ships.
These sorts of videos, make me want to put a loaf of bread, a box of tea and a good paperback in a rucksack and hop over my garden fence, and disappear over the hills and into the world.
This is a magical video
How u gonna get boiling water
@@chriswashingtonbeats life uh.... finds a way.
@@chriswashingtonbeatsthere’s always a negative Nelly who can’t wait to crap on someone’s happy comment and here you are.
It had that exact same affect on me.
Get over that fence and make a name for yourself
Genuinely brought tears to my eyes that people gave you some free stuff from their packs. That's what love and humanity is.
white excellence
I enjoy your £10 pocket series. The slower pace as we listen to your thoughts as you work through your issues, the scenery, and the humidity of one person to a friend they've only just met.
I love these videos Tom, I love Cornwall, and I love those people who really are kind and generous. This country is and can be the best. We (who live here in the UK) have such a beautiful country, I just wish more people would appreciate it like you do.
Many people do appreciate it, more than you think. Unfortunately the negative minority is a very loud one.
@@Nooticus Ain't that the truth.
This is going to sound weird. My family went to Weymouth earlier this year, we spent a lot of time in the car looking at views. One evening we were going home and we came over the hill to the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen. I actually cried a bit when we left it, because the beauty was something I don't think I'll ever experience again. I don't know why, but when I walk away from something beautiful, I start crying. I don't know why, but it always makes me remember those moments for so long, so I am thankful for it.
Weymouth is underrated. Grandparents lived there for over 30yrs, used to go there every summer for a week. One of the few larger seaside towns that still has a bit of charm and isn't becoming run down
@samtilly7165 My family lived there before I was born. I thought it was a beautiful place and probably out of all the places I've been on holiday, the place I'd choose to live if I had the choice.
@MicahDaJohn I dislike people too much to live somewhere too busy😂 but I do agree it's a really nice place. Lots of people who go there go to the main beach and are completely aware of the hidden gem rocky beaches the other side of Nothe Fort
Thanks Tom for that great video...a little cash to get you to the next town :) Just paid 80 Euro to walk the Cinque Terre in Italy and here's Tom making money on his walk and just as beautiful a place. Thanks for sharing!
@@Jacob-ns8rc Quite aware. There will be more towns, as also mentioned in the video (in foreign lands)
Being Spanish myself and a lover of its beautiful Northern coast, I am gladly surprised by the resemblance with Cornwall. Beautiful landscapes and towns that you got up there.
I love the Galicia coast precisely because it reminds me of Cornwall somehow
I'm an Englishman that just got back from a trip across the Basque Country, Cantabria and Asturias. I said to everyone it reminds me of Cornwall but a few degrees warmer. Both amazing parts of the world.
“25 minutes earlier” I’m in stitches 😂. Awesome video
Its crazy as someone who has lived in cornwall their entire life just how much of my own county I have not seen. Im 22 and only just now have realised I have never gone on a proper coastal walk, or gone to so many of these beautiful beaches. Thank you for inspiring me GeoWizard! Deffo somthing to do sooner rather then later!
It feels criminal to be able to watch this for free! And wow... the kindness and generosity being shown is truly heartwarming. Thank you so much for taking us all on your epic adventure - can't wait for the next episode! 😄
A lot of people asking about the hot water.
In older British houses, the water heater ('boiler') is often supplied from an unpressurised, loosely covered tank of cold water in the roofspace (it's up there to provide some [pathetic] pressure from gravity.) This water may have been sitting in the tank for a while, and if you've ever inspected one of these tanks there's no way you would drink that water.
Newer British houses tend to have the water heater fed directly from the mains supply, providing hot water at mains pressure or something close to it.
(There is also the question of warm water sitting in pipework as a breeding ground for bacteria, but that applies to any hot water system.)
had to scroll far down for this. Thanks for the information, I was just wondering about this.
it's also just sort of unpleasant on a hot day! but yes I'm in canada, with proper electric hot water tanks and new(ish) plumbing, and I also would not drink from the hot water tap. nobody wants legionnaires disease!!
When I was having my house converted to a pressurised water system, the plumbers found a decomposing mouse floating in the water tank in the loft. I'd been bathing in that water!
This content is in a league of it's own. Nothing compares or comes close.
What about the Godfather part II?
@@jamesbates5901 Doesn't come close for me.
@@jamesbates5901I prefer The Godfather Part III. But that’s just me.
Another instant classic 😍. One ep in and I'm already considering going and walking the South West Coast Path myself. The 'Tenner in my Pocket' formula is proving to be equally as entertaining as both Straigh Line Missions and the How not to Travel-series. But in a different, more relaxed way. It's like there's a calmness washing over me while I watch this. Don't know if it's just me but this series feels like playing the postgame of a videogame. It's got that same quality to me somehow. You've finished all the main quests and bosses, but you still walk around the map and explore a calmer, friendlier, emptier world. Its beautiful and relaxing, but it invokes reflection and retrospection in all its simpleness.
Absolutely 100%. It feels like travelling back in time in a way too, all these sleepy little villages. Beautiful
Yep, I've wanted to walk this path for years but I am getting way too old for it now but this video has made me think again - maybe I could do some of it at least (with more than a tenner in my pocket though).
@@andyjdhurley Go for it man or you might never get to it and regret it forever! Never too old for an adventure :)
This kind of video never fails to remember me how beautiful this world is
There is something profoundly connecting about the way you share your experience. Thank you, one human being to another.
Best part about reaching the end of a GeoWizard video is finding out another one is yet to come. Cheers Tom!
I love how British " Fancy a Bum?", " No, you're aright mate" was 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought I misheard and had to rewind. Couldn’t believe it! 😂
Think it’s a reference to an old prank show on channel 4, Balls of Steel
Cornish Cottaging 😮
Yes fancy a bum ! the big gay following😂
What a coincidence to run into Big Gay Following from Balls of Steel 🤪
As a Cornishman it's great to see Kernow in all it's glory on your channel!
only bad bit was the bleddy ginsters!
Kernow bys vyken!
Omg I loved loved this! It’s 2.30 am in Sedona Arizona where I now live. I have laughed out loud, waking others in the house! That was so lovely to watch and remember beautiful Cornwall. I walked some of that path over many years going there. I had 6 yrs in relationship with locally born partners, and almost moved to Cornwall and Devon at one point. I’ve not been back to the UK since I left in 2008, so thus was such a trip down memory lane.theres a deep love in my heart for these my homelands. It’s so lovely to vicariously be there through you. You’re hilarious too, and it’s wonderful to hear all the accents, and remember the characters! Best thing I have watched in ages, worth being awake in the middle of the night for. By the way this is not my real name. Can’t wait to see part 2 - there better be one!
Hi Tom, I’m from Australia and have been watching your videos for years! You’ve inspired me to book a flight back to the home country to across the beautiful landscape. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
Tom I can't tell you how comforting your stuff is. Just a big hug of a video.
Yep absolutely agree I get so absorbed in them which means I get to enjoy 45 minutes of peace and quiet in my head 😂
Watching you and @AtomicShrimp is like watching the same person at different stages in their life.
You have great taste.
I had the thought of him bumping into Atomic Shrimp while walking these coastal paths
What an incredible observation!
2 great channels
An extra tenner may as well be a months salary to atomic shrimp 😂
This was absolutely fantastic. Stunning, funny and just enough jeopardy
Adventure and freedom from "life's shackles and responsibilities" holds universal appeal. JRR Tolkien understood this. Tom does as well. Very hard for most of us to actually accomplish. Grateful for this channel.
Not all who wander are lost. indeed.
Ah, the beautiful famous Britain Riviera. The famous south coast Britain sunshine. The famously muggy, hot summers that feel like constant +40C. Warm year round climate. Desert yellow looking baked dry grass. Plus of course, those famous crystal clear and immensely enjoyable, warm swimming waters.
I've just had a brutal day at work, coming home seeing this video has turned the day upside down. Always had family holidays in cornwall and devon 10 years ago when i was just a wee boy. Seeing you walk through places I've been was slightly surreal but has made my evening, looking forward to next one. My faith in humanity restored
"Fancy a bum?"...comedy gold!! 😆 Can't wait for part two! 😊
Cannot believe how stunning those villages are, from middle Canada and never been to the sea but the terraced seaside towns are truly breathtaking. Excellent video and very much looking forward to part 2!
I *love* when the kindness and humanity of the average person is showcased and our favorite "I'm going to be homeless for a while for fun" youtuber always showcases this on all of his misadventures and so I'll always be here to watch them.
What a great video! And just LOVELY countryside, I had no idea Cornwall was so gorgeous!! Great ppl along the way, such a welcoming atmosphere.
I said it the second I saw it, the person who wrote on the sign that tourists were not welcome was a loudmouthed mooch and was likely a disrespectful foreigner. Hate to admit it but probably American. It's not that they don't like tourists, it's that they didn't like YOU. Anyone classless enough to deface a public sign because 'mah feelings' is the kind of tourist NOBODY wants to deal with.
Thanks to Harry and Will and all the ppl along the trail with a bit of adventure in their hearts!
Can't wait for the next epi!!
The somber feeling when the sun goes down if very relatable. Especially now in the beginning of the winter time. When every time I get off work it is just starting to get dark...
Cornwall is so gorgeous honestly
One of the few TH-camrs whose videos I never skip a second
29:05 now THAT VIEW is so beautiful. Polperro absolutely looked heavenly. I always enjoy watching your adventure videos and truly makes me want to just set off and go somewhere to just enjoy a nice beautiful sunny day. Can't wait for the next episode!
8:45 squirrel❤❤❤
Hi Tom, I was born and raised in Australia but my family heritage on both sides goes back to the Cornwall region. I definitely would love to visit one day but I know it's going to be a while, but I appreciate you sharing this video, it is lovely to properly see it for the first time.
@@dogryan100 don't hesitate, just go. Too much to see and do... save up some quids.
I love Cornwall! Every summer for 10 or so years growing up me and my family would travel from Norway to walk a section of the south west coast path!
Norway is great for walking, but there's something special about arriving to a lovely B&B in a small village each day :) Always such wonderful people, amazing places and stunning views!
Been a while since I've been to England and Cornwall, but would love to get back one day :)
It makes me immensely proud to see my beautiful county so well represented, I just wished I had known you were around so I could have said hello.
Same here pard
@phlackbillip oh hey its my fun funky and fresh friend
@@simonwalker602 Yes, tis I - the fabled Billip creature
I always find geo wizard uploads so cool n soothing keep em up buddy
Cornwall looks like a sister region to the coasts of West Cork and County Kerry in Ireland. A long stretch of cliffs, beaches and blackberry hedgerows. There's also a strong Celtic connection.
Absolutely amazing Tom. I live in Plymouth and regularly walk the path from Cremyll to Cawsand and beyond and in 2015 walked the entire Cornish section for charity. The generosity I experienced back then with donations and such seems to be still going strong. Can't wait for part 2.
As a fellow janner, it's so nice to see this beautiful walk covered. I walk Plymouth to rame head a lot and it's making me so happy recognising certain signs and fallen trees.
The forethought on the "fancy a bum?" sketch is criminal
It's hilarious and sickening in equal measures.

Another celtic area eh?
@@striderwhiston9897 of course :) celts stick together, it would be great to see cornish become more popular like breton
@@UnChatCoquin Lotta cultural revival going on in Cornwall right now with Cornish being revived, very nice to see as I'm Welsh and the Cornish are effectively our brothers and Breton not too far off, all part of the Celtic-Brittonic family.
Been to Devon and Plymouth but Cornwall is just stunning. The towns are beautiful. If I ever get back to England I know where I'm staying. Watching from California.
I absolutely love these types of videos of the countryside. I spent 2 years in England as a child and this reminds me of those days and the friendly people
The generosity of the people is melting my heart. But your video (and the promise of more) keeps me alive!
This is better than any actual proper tourist ad campaign.
Easily the best series on TH-cam, fantastic views, grand adventure and my faith in humanity restored. Can't wait for part two.
Brilliant video! Wonderful people! I think Fowey area is my favourite part of the UK. Used to live in Falmouth in the 90s and Cornwall is just plain ace. Please get Harry back on future GeoWizard videos!
These videos are simply gems. An absolutely brilliant piece of videography, documentation and cultural showcasing
That is gorgeous! I never knew England had such wonderful sites. Would love to visit those exact same places and spend a little more time in each one.
Some cornish will scoff at being called English lol, as a people and their language they're more closely related to the Welsh, and a fun fact is, although nowadays they're de-facto considered a county of england, when they were conquered they were never legally incorporated into England and thus are technically a duchy of the UK, although modern laws do not even entertain the idea of that.
Scotland also has these beautiful coastlines. Watch ‘coast’ by bbc with Neil Oliver.
@@bear1245 West Wales and the gower too tbh
@@striderwhiston9897people in wales actually speak Welsh no one in Cornwall speaks Cornish apart from a handful of nationalist loons it’s a dead language
This is just the kind of video I need as I'm stuck in bed unwell. Thank you for lifting my spirits even for a little while.
Get well soon my friend!
Wishing you a speedy recovery, internet stranger!
Hope you feel better soon
Lovely little Bert Jansch tune there. Wonderful.
Hey Tom, the lemonade from the last tenner in my pocket here, glad you're having a good time in Wales! I'm still just by the fence where you dropped me with a good 25p of lemonade left. Still up for another mission any time!
Brilliant
Loved the balls of steel reference, 30:40 what a show not thought about it for years. Brought lots of laughs back thank you
Needed this today after a rough week. Cheers 🧡
I've done similar trips where I spent the bare minimum and mostly lived off the kindness of strangers, hitchhiking and chatting my way through life. Though I never asked people for food or shelter (I had a tent), I'd always feel bad for accepting money as I had some money back home. On my future adventures I'm planning on having two seperate wallets, one for necessities and one to buy others a pint or a meal when the opportunity presents itself. Either won't be too much, as I still don't have much to spend and like the challenge, but it'll feel good to be able to give back, while preserving the nature of the adventure. Love your videos Tom
Best channel on TH-cam drops another instant classic
the first £10 in my pocket video is one of my favourite youtube videos ever in history, literally i watch it now and again and never get bored and i’m so grateful you’ve made another one please keep up the good👍🏽💯🔥
Theese smol english sea villages are so dreamy !
Tenner in my pocket is an amazing format - love it!
I am BUZZING!!!!!!! Did not expect this at this time of day, by far my favourite TH-camr and this series is just outstanding! ❤😊❤😊😊❤😊❤
Love those small fishing villages. The feel mediterranean almost haha.
The British Isles, in the right places and in the right weather, can feel like that sometimes
Thank you for this amazing trip. Learned that nature in Cornwall does not look to different from the nature you have in northern spain as a lot of that landscape reminded me of the Camino del Norte
"Foraging for crabs" sounds like a euphamism
