Can we cross the UK's 2nd largest city without using a single road?
Added 2023-06-15 21:04:20 +0000 UTCThanks once again Patreons for your undying patience. Had this one ready at 4pm but Premiere Pro glitched out. My fault though for not getting it done earlier.
Anyway, I'm hoping that this will not disappoint.

It's here. Quite possible my maddest mission to date.
Back in April I convinced my poor brother to join me once more as we made an audacious attempt to cross the entire city of Birmingham, from Sandwell in the west over to Solihull in the East, without using and roads or canals.
With more people, more security, more filth and sewage and some of Birmingham's most knife crime ridden housing estates, this one promised to be a serious step up from the already challenging Black Country Mission from back in 2021.
There had to be slightly more leeway whilst crossing roads this time, but some of the shit we had to go through more than makes up for that I reckon.

2023-06-22 15:29:53 +0000 UTCKinda crazy to see you referencing Alex Honnold (and Storror) knowing that given your collab with Storror, and Toby Segar's collab with Alex Honnald, you're actually only two links away from the freesolo GOAT himself.
2023-06-16 18:36:10 +0000 UTCThis is entirely inconsequential to the video - but as a huge Brum fan as a youngun that tiny short clip of the car and the skyline was the first time I've realised he's called Brum. As in... Brum. Mad that. Looking forward to watching the rest of this now I've got those thoughts out in the open. Cheers!
