S4.E1 ∙ Crossing Wales in a straight line just became a race.. (my fourth and hopefully final attempt)

Sat, Apr 22, 2023

On the 18th of January 2023 I received an email from my most capable competition yet warning me of their imminent plans to be the first people to cross Wales in a completely straight line. There was only one thing for it; I had to beat them to it. Join me in what I was desperately hoping would be my fourth AND final attempt at this gruelling feat of stealth and endurance, using all of my past experience to execute the perfect strategy over what was a very hazardous line. Part 1 sees me tackle the farmland heavy first 8 miles before heading up into the steep and remote wilderness that would dominate the rest of the trip. Will I be victorious? or am I destined to fall short once more?

S4.E2 ∙ Can I scale this gnarly cliff and march across a farmyard under the owner's nose?

Sat, Apr 29, 2023

The race to be the first person to cross Wales in a completely straight line continues with this rather eventful second episode. Join me as I attempt to clamber up an perilously steep mountainside, battle my way through a very sketchy pile of fallen trees, and march boldly into a farmyard in plain view of the owner.. Despite this leg of the journey being largely set in the remote wilderness of mid Wales, there was still the occasional farmyard to sneak through or past, and when I chose the worst time possible to gallop headlong towards a farmhouse, I thought the mission was as good as over... Can I avoid all catastrophes and march on towards my gold run? Archie and Adam, who's first day got off to a flier, were waiting patiently to snatch the victory.

S4.E3 ∙ It has all come down to this...

Tue, May 09, 2023

It has all come down to this.. The race to be the first person to cross Wales in a completely straight line reaches it's climax with what I am desperately hoping will be the final chapter in this epic 4 year story. You re-join me half way through day 3 where having just beaten two farms, I'm looking to make it to Camp 3A before dark, where I will launch my final one day offensive to the coast. What lay ahead of me however was some of the steepest and most challenging terrain I'd ever endured, and beyond that, a chain of farmers fields that led right up to the coast. Can my tired legs get through it all unscathed and without leaving the gold zone?
