Hold on Ally… I’ve just noticed that you got 3rd place on the record for the tube All Lines Challenge!?! Why was there not a video on this :( there’s literally no recording anywhere of a run of this challenge anywhere near that speed

Just discovered your lodnon one and subscribed and checked out your channel! Love this video as i am cardiff born and bred!

Nice video, I know there are degrees of variance and an allowance for strying slightly offline - but how can a straight line mission have so many corners and non straight lines ????

what a palaver!

20:45 Insanely great.

It's an excellent addition to have the map on the left hand side. That must have taken time to do, but was great to watch. Hope this video takes off soon, I think these early straight line missions will stand the test of time.

How many steps did you get in that 24 hour period?

Was really looking forward to this and ended up not watching most of it because I didn't have a clue what was going on. Where was the narrative? In the edit, each section could have been prefaced by a small intro: this where we are, this is what we are aiming to achieve next, these are the potential problems, this is how we are doing so far, this is our overall strategy, etc, BUILD THE STORY!! All the best stories have jeopardy and potentially you had more than enough to create a really exciting episode. OK, it would have been a longer video, but a real treat for those of us who like this sort of thing. Particularly disappointed because everything else about this adventure was obviously so meticulous in its preparation. Your output is always well presented but I don't think this video does your efforts justice.

great video

banana dude looks like the deep

Yes, you can't rely on Google for rights of way. The best still is (and always has been) Ordnance Survey large scale maps - and they have the whole country covered. You can buy them at Stanfords in Covent Garden, or any good bookstore like Foyles (the biggest in the World). I think Stanfords is better - I often take my tourist friends there who want to explore the London that many tourists never get to see.

looking forward to part 2, excited to see how he gets across the pleasure beach lol 😂

jesus christ, what a painful intro to your channel

If you need a film crew let me know, best prices in london. btw i thought of maybe challanges and maybe you do it against another person and first who reaches and completes challanges wins. if you need help in production and filming let me know

Typically british with such a low key way of ignowledging each other lol

Nice work. When I saw your conference video I thought this was so easy I might try it, but after watching this there is no way I'd go crawling down those rivers. I think some city planners should do straight line city planning to boost tourism. 😉

Nice! Is there a video of your actual walk?

Nice work! Many of houses at the start of your video would have been built by the Metropolitan Railway Company. Unlike other early railway companies, who bought land for railways, built the railways and then sold off the excess, they wrangled a deal to build both railways and houses. Many of their old (pre-London Underground) stations had estate agent offices in them. They would sell Londoners on the idea of "moving to the country" and the people who bought their houses also became their passengers. So they made money at both ends. They pushed the suburbs further and further from London, with this scheme, until the counties around London rebelled and lobbied for house building near London to be banned. Ironically, the Green Belt laws made countryside stations less economically viable than ones surrounded by lots of houses and after the London Transport Passenger Board took over the Metropolitan Railway and was ordered to run London Underground for profit, they closed down the northern extremes of the Metropolitan Railway, rather than electrify lines going to places with low populations. Many of the railways out of London, that stop before exiting London were planned to be longer and got cut back because it was considered to be pointless to build stations on land where houses were banned. Anyhoo the TLDR version is that, if it was not for long dead NIMBYs, you would have been doing a much longer walk, as Metroland massively expanded London at a rapid rate.

stopped watching as soon as you caught the underground.

It’s a shame you didn’t give any information as to what towns you were walking through 🤷‍♂️

Bravo!

I enjoyed this different take on a straight line mission. Keep up the good work

the most dangerous straight line mission of them all

Thanks for walking past my house!

Just follow the Uxbridge road mate

Love this! Two excellent platinum runs! A shame the perfect was so close

Fascinating. Didn't pass my house but did pass a house like the one I grew up in. Distinctive. Only built in South London.

Wembley Working Mens Club

27:00 wow that brings back memories, I used to live there 20 years ago 😄

🔔😂

OMG, just started watching this and already getting flashbacks to my childhood. Grew up in Helensburgh and had a car crash pretty much right on your line outside Colgrain Equestrian Centre!

Wow, 76,203 llamas (If you include the 14 Guanacos) helping make that malteser cake! That's a lot of Llamas!

A great twist on the straight line mission

The only meeting point the support crew was on time for was waiting at the hotel. Ally must be poking fun when he says that he is on time for once

I for one, loved the Bobby Fingers bit. Well done mate!

Proper LOLs. Great stuff.

At 24:39 I went to London St Pancras Station the platforms are high up than I expected it to be tracks are eletric even if a trains not coming your still dead if you look closer there's wires same issue with the london underground I went the same day you went I think I saw you

The sound at 6:16 sounds like a fire alarm kinda

You have my utmost respect. There's a few places on that walk where I'd not have gone alone with tech out on show. Brilliant video though, had me quite absorbed. I think I may also find myself shouting "SQUIRRELS!" whenever I see them from now on, I hold you to blame.

So many Llamas

What a great laugh! Nice one

You should have showed us the overall route that you took

Was hoping the brief popup at 36:48 would be the recipe for said Malteser Cake! Great video mate. Suggest the Isle of Skye for your next great adventure. See if you can make a line that passes by the Old Man of Storr :D

I'm 1 min 30 and you're already not going in a straight line?.... Eh?

Excellent missoning

Great video, I subscribed and will watch some of your others! I want to do this exercise now for Canada to see what the longest, straightest & acrossest city road is here. My initial thoughts were north of Toronto but I spy a potential in Regina too

Someone should do straight line across City of London. I think platinum is possible.

Mate I'm not going to lie the big ben bell-end had me rolling

A loose end 😂

Make it look easy!
