  1. 0:00Tom leaves Lichfield on foot, making the case for inexpensive adventures close to home.
  2. 3:49He explains why the community-voted first-bus adventure did not become this upload.
  3. 6:06Hopwas Hays Wood provides an autumn stop on a fallen tree trunk.
  4. 8:06At the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal, Tom considers how to cross the River Tame.
  5. 10:53A wartime concrete pillbox offers old graffiti to inspect.
  6. 18:43Two dog walkers warn that the green lane ahead is impassable.

No tickets required. Tom sets off from the outskirts of Lichfield with a simple argument: a worthwhile adventure needn't involve expensive equipment or travelling far from home.

His only upload this week, "Britain: True Adventure is Right On Your Doorstep (Here's Proof)", has reached roughly 350,000 views. The pleasure is in the small discoveries: resting on a fallen trunk in Hopwas Hays Wood, surveying a River Tame crossing and inspecting old graffiti inside a concrete wartime pillbox. By Comberford, even finding the church involves an uncertain passage through what appears to be somebody's garden.

"I just love discovering brand new places that I didn't know were here, you know, relatively close to home," he says. It's a different proposition from his coin-funded endurance walks: curiosity supplies the itinerary rather than a rule about how to pay for lunch.

There is also an explanation for the adventure viewers didn't get. Tom says the community-voted "first bus" idea produced footage he wasn't happy with. In the comments, viewers make a case for releasing a lightly edited version anyway, something to keep them company while they work. Others swap memories of setting off into the countryside or discuss Britain's walking paths.

The new walk accounts for most of GeoWizard's current daily viewing momentum. His recent geography-game sampler and the opening coin-foraging episode continue to attract smaller audiences. Across the channel, daily views are running at more than six times their usual level, while subscribers were unchanged over the week.

For Tom, the most useful turn in this particular route may be the human one: two dog walkers warning him that the overgrown green lane ahead is completely impassable.

What viewers say

  • Anyone living in Britain should feel blessed to have these ancient walking paths. Millions of us living in suburban America are jealous.

  • Prior to becoming a 16 year old and discovering beer and girls back in the mid 70's this sort of thing was our go to thing to do in our spare time, even though we lived just a mile from Tower Bridge. A bus or bike got us out to kent and we were off. No phones, no maps or distraction, just adventure.

  • Hey Tom for the bus video you mentioned. I don't think you realize but people will watch/listen to it even if it's not up to your standards. I say do a very quickly edited together version with a warning at the start that it's second monitor content and not great, and we will watch. I like having a long video on while I work on other things and I know I'm not in some very small niche.

  • 'Just step outside' would make a great health campaign slogan.
