SLIGHT SPOILER Thanks once again for tuning in everyone. I’ve tried to be as respectful as I can to the characters in this episode whilst maintaining the story of the adventure, but it was tricky on this one. I also didn’t mean to waste any of that fresh seafood, that was clumsy of me! Finally please don’t eat any berries or plants you’re not 100% sure on - even with these apps! As always please give the video a like and let me know in the comments where in the world you think I should take my tenner with me next and which direction I should travel!
Imagine you're waking up in your calm and silent coastal village, and first thing you see though window is random guy picking random pair of socks from the ground and sniffing them deeply before walking away like nothing happened.
Hi Tom! Sophie here. Just wanted to let you know my flaps aren't fishy. Absolute pleasure to have you in my bus shelter. All the best to you and your family!
“A pint was £6.50, frightened by these numbers I retreated to the rear of the beach to root around in some bins” - this is the tenna in ya pocket vibe 😂
I left a massive comment on Part 1 (regarding you walking under my old house in Looe and coming back for the North Coast etc.) so I'll TRY to keep this brief, but this adventure ABSOLUTELY MUST continue at some point from where you ended. Dodman Carpark would be an ideal setting off point. According to my very rudimentary calculations (following the coast with the ruler on Google Earth...) it's the same distance again to Penzance, taking you through what is objectively the most gorgeous place on Earth, the Lizard Peninsula. And if you're up to it, another 15 or so miles from Penzance to Lands End, at which point you've essentially completed the South coast of Cornwall. Hope this doesn't come across at too demanding, just thought it may be worth your consideration 😉 Epic series regardless Tom, like I said as a Cornwall native it's my favourite project of your's so far, and I'm very keen on the Kayak idea also! Hopefully see you down 'ere again soon!
Seconding this. Weird characters in Falmouth, which is a good place to get essential supplies. Remote and sometimes challenging landscapes. Ancient ruins. Areas with actual local people and communities rather than old people who retired here for the quiet.
When Tom said he'll bring his family to that holiday park one day it only then struck me what a joy it'll be for his children to go on adventures with him.
Helen is trying to give you quest after quest and rewarding you with items. "Pop the kettle on" "Take this slice of bread as gratitude for moving my TV" "Accompany me to the nearest village to pick up some mail" Also the quest of finding the missing boots. I loved this series a lot and hope to see more of it in the future. It really lives from the interactions.
The missing boots really did feel like a video game side quest, "I've only gone and lost my boots while foraging on the beach, can you help me find them?". Just the way they were stood there too
@@MilwaukeeMark Mate! Isn't that true! Also Greetings from the very place in this video (Well I'm across the river by 2 miles and I'm then in Cornwall haha. I wanted to move to West Bend In Wisconsin when I was younger, and always had a softspot for the Wisconsin accent!
Honestly. These videos bring me SUCH SUCH joy. You’re an incredible storyteller and adventurer. Keep inspiring us. Keep being amazing. You’re a talented bastard!
I love handheld adventures from folk more than the "set up" shot where you know they ran up set the camera up, ran back down and walkedup like its the first time. This is much more real adventure.
bit too high up, laughed when he said par seemed very cornish and local, being a high tourism area, he should have come down to the roots of cornwall in penzance/mousehole area
@@Blockbwoy A massively arrogant and ignorant assumption that the west represents 'The roots of Cornwall' Like the rest of it doesn't constitute as Cornish. Tell me, where would you like Cornwall to start? I've met more old Plymothians that have stronger Cornish roots than many across the water in 'real' Cornwall. The west doesn't have the monopoly on being the real Cornwall as much as it's inhabitants doesn't have the monopoly on being the real Cornish. Please get out more and maybe take in other parts of this ancient land. All areas of Cornwall has it's story.
In the last adventure you spoke about how you would love to do small ''quests'' for the people you run into to earn some money, food or shelter. The story with Helen is the closest you have come to doing one of these quests so far. She bought you beer, offered you a place to sleep and gave you breakfast and some supplies. In return you had to come with her to back her up in the local village dispute (even though you had no idea, lol). This could be straight from a medieval RPG game! This is what it's all about!
"I couldn't help but think that if I'd have kept the onion, and the mushroom, I'd be well on my way to rustling up a seafood dish Rick Stein would be proud of" Sounds much like a dialogue line straight out of a point-and-click adventure video game. Just like when you click on your character and they start speaking hints to the player. Such a nostalgic, yet authentic narrative style.
And only a couple minutes after, an 'episode' as Tom says, complete madness you couldn't make up if you wanted to, with the chaotic character that is Helen. Genius that sometimes quite literally writes itself. Favourite series on the channel.
Awww. So disappointed the journey ends here. Please carry on where you left off, asap. It’s been a hilarious adventure. As a ‘local’ I can assure you there’s lots more treats ahead and Spring is the best time to be here.
Learning that Tom doesn't drink hot drinks is the only genuinely surprising thing I've learned about him since he dropped mission across wales part 1 and I learned that he wasn't just a geoguessr nerd.
Hey mate, I know you probably won't end up seeing this, but I just booked a trip to the UK because of your videos. It's my first international solo adventure, and thanks to you showing how lovely the country is I am absolutely stoked to explore. I will hopefully get to indulge in the quaint villages and towns like you do, so thanks again for highlighting this part of the Earth!
These two were so lovely and have been passed on to friends and family; everyone was utterly charmed. So good to know you had such a brilliant and original adventure in our beautiful Cornwall. Very impressed with the ground you covered in the time - really enjoyed your take on the area where we were brought up, worked and where some of us are lucky enough to still live. Thank you! - will watch the others.
Tom, the human interactions in this are gold dust. I’d love to see a similar endeavour where you HAVE TO visit every pub, and experience its characters, on the way.
@ he’s quite well traveled so I reckon he would be okay in most countries across Europe. In Asia however that would be very interesting, imagine him in Vietnam trying to do it. Especially somewhere rural.
I love these because they've got all the adventure and resourcefulness of a straight line missiong, but more chilled out and relaxing because there's no finish line to be in doubt about, and no real danger. Thanks Tom!!
This is my favourite series from you. Travelling alone followed by random interactions with strangers, it really does feel like your stumbling on side quests/random encounters. One of the most comfy videos I've ever watched, please do more!
I love how low stakes the tenner in my pocket videos are. It's really cool that you are happy for things to end naturally rather than trying to be super extreme and push yourself to the point that you're not having fun making the video.
you know, this is warming my heart. In unknown territory I am quite a shy person and it costs me a lot of selfconvincing to get in touch with people. seeing all these lovely welcoming interactions makes me think maybe I should do this kind of stuff more often, there is so much to gain from it.
Tom, I could literally watch you do anything, but YES give us more of these videos please! Come and have a go at a twenty in your pocket in New Zealand! You'd love it mate!
Another awesome take on this kind of thing is the 'Vagrant Holiday' youtube channel. I'm jealous if you've never seen them before, and sad that there probably won't be more in future.
@@PhatInAHat vagrant holiday is great, and so is shiey if you like more deviant activities (although he has some more tame content as well if you're not into the less legal aspects of his adventures)
I learned more of the sense of daily English life and all the little rules today than I ever have before. I thank you for that. I'm pining to travel out your way even more. Pray the funds materialise in my lifetime.
Gorran Haven! Oh my days. I used to go there as a kid on holidays from Hampshire. I live in Yorkshire now. That were thirty, thirty five years ago. I'd just about forgotten about those holidays. Can't wait to show my dad this and ask him if it looks - as I suspect - completely the same! This channel is just brilliant. Thanks Tom.
For the next episode of this series you should start where this episode ends. By the end of the series you can walk around the uk for 100 or whatever number of episodes it takes
Tom these adventure videos, and specifically these tenner ones, are like a warm blanket in winter for my brain. The indescribable way these videos soothe my soul can't be overstated. Thank you for continuing to make them!
All of those flags on that street in Par are for Par carnival! The houses are all assigned different countries that they have flags up for but often they are just flown all year round - so there aren't actually all those nationalities there! Love seeing so many local sights in this series!
Tom's become a real Protagonist of his own game. Finding the missing boots for the mans' absent-minded son was one thing but damn Helen's family dispute quest was something else entirely.
I love your videos because it always warms my heart to see how genuinely kind so many of us Brits are. We seem to get a bad rap so much these days, but imho we are one of the most generous, kind and thoughtful peoples on earth. OK, at times you've got to be a bit chatty and put yourself out there, but look at how even when you were trying to sleep some kind guy gave you a curry thinking you were homeless. That is a heart of gold. God bless, I love these videos. Cheers me up no end
The whole tenner in the pocket and walking series has been amazing, this one as well as the previous. Absolutely in love with the idea of this. Makes me want to try it myself. Thanks for uploading these types of videos, truly appreciate them so much. You're such a lovely guy.
Its honestly amazing seeing so many of my local villages and coastal towns getting the spotlight they deserve, cornwall really is a place full of hidden gems, ive lived here my entire life but the amount of amazing little niche places im yet to see is astounding!
@@Smoneey - Thats true XD. I live in lanivet, a little village just outside bodmin, and are non coast towns really do pale in comparason to anything on the coast (maybe exept Newquay, which looks like it was amazing town once, 50 years ago in its hay day)
@@Smoneey Camborne isn't that bad, just a few dodgy characters give it a bad reputation. I have a view of Tehidy from my house over Roskear way, right smack in the middle of Camborne. Beauty!
i love this type of video so much. i'm going to spend a few days in london next week and i never knew that england had such beautiful countryside and coast lines! hope i can take the bike and tour the country side next summer!
It's an amazing place, I live next door in Devon but would love to move to a rural area of Cornwall. It has some not so nice areas in some of the larger towns, but that's the same everywhere.
@@kilasracingfactory Cornwall doesn't need marketing, It's already rammed in the summer full of british tourists. If anything having all of the world know about it would be bad because the small narrow roads would get even more full and be a nightmare. I feel like this is the reason it's a British secret, we want the world to think UK has shit beaches so they don't come because the roads aren't built for larger scale tourism.
The first "Tenner in my pocket" video had me like "well, he will be father so he needs to do some more relaxed things". I was so wrong. This is absolutely amazing. The stories, the tales, the "survival" and friendships you build. Keep it up and let us all be more adventurous, inspired by you.
Every time I watch your videos I have blast, but I am simultaneously reminded how impossible (much more dangerous) that would be as a woman! Anyway, I'm glad you're having fun and maybe I'll get to experience something similar in the future
Oh Helen took a 'shine' to you did she... Was 'very generous' was she... Invited you over for 'breakfast', said you crash on her 'sofa' did she. Come over and 'ring her doorbell' at any hour. It just got better and better 😂
Hey tom just wanted to say I do really appreciate the quieter moments in the video where it's just music and footage, or even just environmental noise. I feel like it really enhances the commentary when there's that kindof 'negative space' if you will. It's like a little push and pull yknow. idk. Love your shit man
I think this type of video could be quite good in the rural Italian countryside! Stunning scenery, warm weather and beautiful little villages and towns to explore :)
Excellent video and adventure as always, Tom! Helen is a character and you really captured that perfectly while being very respectful of people's private business. I would absolutely love to see more of these and double yes for the kayak adventure!
As a western Canadian living in the rockies, seeing the goings on of life in little english towns you wander through is so cool. You've got me wanting to make a vacation of walking that trail you did. Side note: 40:50 that ladies running for looked awfully painful
I started following your channel for the straight line missions several years ago but this format is definitely one of my favourites. It's just great to see you go out and enjoy yourself without the stress of needing to get to a specific destination.
As someone from the Mediterranean I had no idea Cornwall was so picturesque, those villages are stunning, and as someone who loves a good pub I would very much like to visit them 😁😁
Met loads of Spaniards in Cornwall who came to work in the summertime, since Spain were having problems with unemployment or something. Everyone of them were very surprised at how amazing the beaches were. It was nice to hear since I hear a lot of people making fun of British beaches cos the only ones they've seen in the media are Brighton and Blackpool
The combination of the beautiful scenes, heartwarming human interaction and not knowing what to expect makes these kinds of video a perfect break from the bland, grey, predicable and negatives of everyday live. Thanks for making these!
I would love to see you continue this challenge along the rest of the SW coastal path. You could just do a section at a time, there is so much of Devon and Cornwall you've yet to see!
I really enjoyed the foraging aspect! Maybe you could rock up in a place that's known to have a lot of seafood, berries, etc. Would be cool to see how long you could last just foraging.
I love this series! You should try to do the West Highland Way on a tenner. There’s plenty of pubs on the route & ample opportunities to meet charitable people.
I love this videos so much! This is something special Tom. Where everything on the internet feels cooked up and fake your interactions and adventures feel so genuine and different! The tenner videos are just special like the how not to travel europe videos.
“I don’t know who that young lad thought I was, alright mate I’m just in your house… yeah… just wondering around” absolute comedy gold! Tom you’re a treasure mate! I’ve watched you for years now and your adventures just get better and better, what a fantastic episode! Keep it up mate! Look forward to the next!
There are basically no jobs that aren't tourism based in the summertime, so a job where you work from home would be preferable (or like essential things like doctors and vets etc).
@ultimateredstone he's being rude but if you know why it makes sense. The locals of Cornwall are being priced out of buying homes because rich people from outside buy all the houses for 2nd summer homes. And Airbnb has also completely fucked the housing market. It's tough being a working class cornishmen when all you see around you are empty summer houses for rich Londoners.
I truly love seeing someone (Tom) achieve mini survivalist dreams and then witnessing the pure satisfaction on his face once he has achieved them. These videos are always what I need in my life, please keep going hehe ❤

I left a massive comment on Part 1 (regarding you walking under my old house in Looe and coming back for the North Coast etc.) so I'll TRY to keep this brief, but this adventure ABSOLUTELY MUST continue at some point from where you ended.

Please do more of these - the simplicity, humour and willingness to seek adventure and create stories from unscripted openness is so good.

Can't wait to show my dad this and ask him if it looks - as I suspect - completely the same! This channel is just brilliant. Thanks Tom.
Can you imagine walking in to a pub to see GeoWizard singing Red Red Wine....absolutely love it!
For the next episode of this series you should start where this episode ends. By the end of the series you can walk around the uk for 100 or whatever number of episodes it takes
That's actually not a bad idea! 👍
Calm down
Helen is a legend.
Love these videos. I don't care where you do it. It's all fun.
Helen was a CHARACTER.
"If you are ever unsure what to do, pick the option that makes for the better story" Thats a great reminder. Tank you!
Tom these adventure videos, and specifically these tenner ones, are like a warm blanket in winter for my brain. The indescribable way these videos soothe my soul can't be overstated. Thank you for continuing to make them!
It’s brilliant isn’t it? Have any of us even figured out WHY this particular content is so soothing and sort of nostalgic?
The way you wrote this comment is lovely, I don’t know how to describe it!
All of those flags on that street in Par are for Par carnival! The houses are all assigned different countries that they have flags up for but often they are just flown all year round - so there aren't actually all those nationalities there! Love seeing so many local sights in this series!
Tom's become a real Protagonist of his own game. Finding the missing boots for the mans' absent-minded son was one thing but damn Helen's family dispute quest was something else entirely.
I love your videos because it always warms my heart to see how genuinely kind so many of us Brits are. We seem to get a bad rap so much these days, but imho we are one of the most generous, kind and thoughtful peoples on earth. OK, at times you've got to be a bit chatty and put yourself out there, but look at how even when you were trying to sleep some kind guy gave you a curry thinking you were homeless. That is a heart of gold. God bless, I love these videos. Cheers me up no end
The whole tenner in the pocket and walking series has been amazing, this one as well as the previous. Absolutely in love with the idea of this. Makes me want to try it myself. Thanks for uploading these types of videos, truly appreciate them so much. You're such a lovely guy.
Tom walking into Buckingham Palace: nice enough building. could sleep in here i bet
Do-able!
Its honestly amazing seeing so many of my local villages and coastal towns getting the spotlight they deserve, cornwall really is a place full of hidden gems, ive lived here my entire life but the amount of amazing little niche places im yet to see is astounding!
It’s because all the awful places are inland. Bodmin, Camborne, St Austell, Redruth, Liskeard
@@Smoneey - Thats true XD. I live in lanivet, a little village just outside bodmin, and are non coast towns really do pale in comparason to anything on the coast (maybe exept Newquay, which looks like it was amazing town once, 50 years ago in its hay day)
@@Smoneey Camborne isn't that bad, just a few dodgy characters give it a bad reputation. I have a view of Tehidy from my house over Roskear way, right smack in the middle of Camborne. Beauty!
i love this type of video so much. i'm going to spend a few days in london next week and i never knew that england had such beautiful countryside and coast lines! hope i can take the bike and tour the country side next summer!
I’m pretty secluded and don’t get out much, but your videos want to make me go out adventuring, keep doing your thing Tom
My god cornwall is beautiful.
It's an amazing place, I live next door in Devon but would love to move to a rural area of Cornwall. It has some not so nice areas in some of the larger towns, but that's the same everywhere.
Yeah, this video makes me want to go there
Brother did more for Cornwall with that video series than UK marketing ever did
@@kilasracingfactory Cornwall doesn't need marketing, It's already rammed in the summer full of british tourists. If anything having all of the world know about it would be bad because the small narrow roads would get even more full and be a nightmare. I feel like this is the reason it's a British secret, we want the world to think UK has shit beaches so they don't come because the roads aren't built for larger scale tourism.
Why on Earth did "Oh it's September" send me laughing.
Same. Either he's just incredibly drunk, or it's the night after August 31st. Probably both.
I just thought he was guessing what Earth wind and fire song Helen did a rendition of and he just remembered 😂 so random!
The first "Tenner in my pocket" video had me like "well, he will be father so he needs to do some more relaxed things". I was so wrong. This is absolutely amazing. The stories, the tales, the "survival" and friendships you build. Keep it up and let us all be more adventurous, inspired by you.
The sound of Helen's kitchen tap had me roaring !
Every time I watch your videos I have blast, but I am simultaneously reminded how impossible (much more dangerous) that would be as a woman! Anyway, I'm glad you're having fun and maybe I'll get to experience something similar in the future
Yeah I think this too! Also thought Helen was brave af inviting him to stay in her home
The world is on pause while I watch these videos. Please keep doing what you're doing Tom! Nobody is like you.
The Helen story arc was absolutely insane 😂
These are genuinely some of the best videos on TH-cam. They feel like sitting and chatting with an old friend, without a care or worry in the world
How funny, I have that exact knife.
As a chap who's lived in Plymouth for quite a few years, I really enjoyed this little adventure.
great videos, inspiring and fun to watch. for an anglophile living in the US, these transport me to the british countryside. please keep going!
‘Organic adventure’ is a perfect way to describe these
Oh Helen took a 'shine' to you did she... Was 'very generous' was she... Invited you over for 'breakfast', said you crash on her 'sofa' did she. Come over and 'ring her doorbell' at any hour. It just got better and better 😂
Helen bought herself some muscle bringing Tom over to her nemesis and all. She's pretty smart.
Helen was a gem. This series is tied with straight lines as your best videos. Can't wait for the Pirate Treasures you'll find. Cheers from 🇨🇦
Hey tom just wanted to say I do really appreciate the quieter moments in the video where it's just music and footage, or even just environmental noise. I feel like it really enhances the commentary when there's that kindof 'negative space' if you will. It's like a little push and pull yknow. idk. Love your shit man
I think this type of video could be quite good in the rural Italian countryside! Stunning scenery, warm weather and beautiful little villages and towns to explore :)
Excellent video and adventure as always, Tom! Helen is a character and you really captured that perfectly while being very respectful of people's private business.
I would absolutely love to see more of these and double yes for the kayak adventure!
I love these adventures so much, they make me glad to live in the UK and have the beautiful landscapes at our doorsteps
The village drama is top 5 geowizard moments - while being 😮🫣😬 - it’s totally to the theme of the series , completely out of the blue kino. Regards
the 4b2c king 👑
This, along with the angry Welsh farmer, top tier geowizard moments
As a western Canadian living in the rockies, seeing the goings on of life in little english towns you wander through is so cool. You've got me wanting to make a vacation of walking that trail you did.
Side note: 40:50 that ladies running for looked awfully painful
Love these mate. Restored my faith in human nature also. Looking forward to the next one.
DUDE, you really wore those socks..... 49:08
As an American in Florida id love to see all the cornwall content you could imagine. Such a beautiful place I can only hope to make it there one day.
Come on over, we love tourists (emmits) down here!
Met lots of Floridians when I lived in Cornwall who all loved it there. You guys grow up with beaches so must love the coves round every corner :D
A Tenner in either the countryside of France or Sicilia would be spectacular
I started following your channel for the straight line missions several years ago but this format is definitely one of my favourites. It's just great to see you go out and enjoy yourself without the stress of needing to get to a specific destination.
Love Hellen tapping the camera like a bird with its beak haha
As someone from the Mediterranean I had no idea Cornwall was so picturesque, those villages are stunning, and as someone who loves a good pub I would very much like to visit them 😁😁
Met loads of Spaniards in Cornwall who came to work in the summertime, since Spain were having problems with unemployment or something. Everyone of them were very surprised at how amazing the beaches were. It was nice to hear since I hear a lot of people making fun of British beaches cos the only ones they've seen in the media are Brighton and Blackpool
The combination of the beautiful scenes, heartwarming human interaction and not knowing what to expect makes these kinds of video a perfect break from the bland, grey, predicable and negatives of everyday live. Thanks for making these!
I would love to see you continue this challenge along the rest of the SW coastal path. You could just do a section at a time, there is so much of Devon and Cornwall you've yet to see!
I really enjoyed the foraging aspect! Maybe you could rock up in a place that's known to have a lot of seafood, berries, etc. Would be cool to see how long you could last just foraging.
I love this series! You should try to do the West Highland Way on a tenner. There’s plenty of pubs on the route & ample opportunities to meet charitable people.
I love this videos so much! This is something special Tom. Where everything on the internet feels cooked up and fake your interactions and adventures feel so genuine and different! The tenner videos are just special like the how not to travel europe videos.
“I don’t know who that young lad thought I was, alright mate I’m just in your house… yeah… just wondering around” absolute comedy gold! Tom you’re a treasure mate! I’ve watched you for years now and your adventures just get better and better, what a fantastic episode! Keep it up mate! Look forward to the next!
My heart just about explodes seeing that beautiful scenery... I'm gonna live there one day. Much love from Germany!
Rosamunde, bist du es? 😅
There are basically no jobs that aren't tourism based in the summertime, so a job where you work from home would be preferable (or like essential things like doctors and vets etc).
No thanks, We're full.
@@AidanRickard Oh, I didn't know that! My mistake, Sir head of immigration.
@ultimateredstone he's being rude but if you know why it makes sense. The locals of Cornwall are being priced out of buying homes because rich people from outside buy all the houses for 2nd summer homes. And Airbnb has also completely fucked the housing market. It's tough being a working class cornishmen when all you see around you are empty summer houses for rich Londoners.
Cornwall is my favourite place in the UK. Top video done Cornwall proud
I truly love seeing someone (Tom) achieve mini survivalist dreams and then witnessing the pure satisfaction on his face once he has achieved them. These videos are always what I need in my life, please keep going hehe ❤
Now i'm sad. Really sad. Cause it's over. I wanna keep watching for 347 hours. :(
More of these, Tom!
Yeah! It was over too quickly :( Now we gotta wait another few months at the least
I thought he was doing the whole coastal path, that would make a long series 😂
