I attempted to walk across Greater London without using a single road
Added 2025-08-23 11:23:08 +0000 UTCIt's finally here; The London No Roads Mission, and it's not for the faint hearted.
Today I finally get to show you my maddest mission to date. A daring raid on a city of 9 million people, 32 vertical miles and countless tall spiky fences. It's Birmingham times 10, and I honestly didn't know if it would be possible going in. A few miles in I was even less sure. But I kept going, and the results are both thrilling and hilarious. Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for the ultimate urban adventure. A tale of endurance, stealth, stress management, but above all conquering fears.

Quick question, do you, or have you ever thought about using AI when planning your routes to your missions such as this one? Or does that maybe take some fun out of it?

2025-09-16 07:24:12 +0000 UTCGreat adventure again Tom! Is it also that you get used to climbing fences when people are watching? No awkardness haha. When i watch your videos i often think of doing a straight line mission in the Netherlands myself. Who knows. Keep up the Nice work!

2025-08-29 19:18:36 +0000 UTCI had just run 56 miles from my house in Oxford to my old flat in London the day before this got realised. Your adverntures always inspire me and it was nice to finally sit back and vicouriously enjoy yours! Can't wait for part 2.

2025-08-24 22:45:54 +0000 UTCReally enjoying this series through my city!! I literally took my friends "off-piest" at that The Paddock Community Garden bit as part of a pubcrawl recently! You were very close to the Bevertown Brewery!

2025-08-24 22:30:07 +0000 UTCJoined because I have watched your lunacy for a couple of years and just love it. Also, in 1982 I got a job in Saudi Arabia and our vehicle fleet was maintained by a Brummie, Pete Bardell where are you now? 👍

Hannah Samuels-Lyons
2025-08-23 20:49:23 +0000 UTCAbsolutely loved this mate. I'm from East London, so know pretty much everywhere you passed through so far, I even spotted my mate's tag on the canal. I looked at doing this after your Birmingham mission but deemed it impossible. Guess that's what separates the pros from the amateurs!

Maz Gooderham
2025-08-23 14:38:09 +0000 UTC6:56 Tom, I wonder how many times during your history of adventures you had to try to squeeze through or climb over something only to realize (or perhaps never have known) it was already opened…Lol
