Be sure to drop me a like for this vid everyone!
Also, I'll upload an unlisted, un-sped-up version of this soon and post the link in the description. Enjoy!
Absolutely Brilliant!! I love this series..you’re the best.
Let me know if you’re ever in Amsterdam and I’ll buy you a beer..

@GeoWizard are you gonna try to find Storror for £10.000? czcams.com/video/SPX58BQYrTw/video.html
Mate I didn’t even realise this was sped up
Congrats on 500k!!!
Holy cow 500k, congrats!
GW: "This could be anywhere in the UK..."
Me: "It's Wales"
GW: "...but probably not Wales"
Me: "Definitely not Wales"
Me several times
I actually did this.
I think basically everywhere here looks like Wales. And I've never been to Wales
Imagine how I felt as an Irish person when he asked himself if the uvf is a football club and then said hmm this could be Wales or Scotland haha
So many times I wanted it to be Scotland hahahah
Honestly, chat assistance runs shouldn't even be counted in the records...
Yeah people in chat can very well cheat and google whatever info is found on signs lol
@@das_eisenherz Exactly... This record should belong to one person and their own abilities, not to a collective mind of people who can google anything at any point...
those records were usually done on small streams with a known community of GeoGuessr players who are at least somewhat reliable. plus most of the rounds there isn't anything to Google, and the skill of some players is immense and I don't think they would dirt their image by cheating
There is a solo category, and as Alok said, most chat assistents are known in the community, they are reliable.
It's also mostly streamers who try these records, and chat likes to matter and to get involved.
I understand, but "usually", "at least somewhat reliable" and "I don't think they would" aren't phrases you wanna use when talking about "official" actual records of people testing their own skills to compete with others. It should at least definitely be in a different category.
100% would buy "Are we filming? Yes we are" merch.
you just don't know how many times he's come to realize that he wasn't filming at that point
Bro I literally was at that point of the video when I saw your comment
Need a second monitor purely for the recording software...
It’s his brand, for sure!
I work in film & tv and I can’t second this enough - would buy!
Title of the video: "28 in a row"
Me watching him hit submit on number 23: *nervous af to see if he gets it or not*
God that is a horrendous building......
Is this Dudley??
I was literally about to comment this 😂😂😂. Made actually laugh out loud
it aint any more lul
He ain't wrong though
The horrendous building in Dudley he was probably thinking about was Cavendish House and it was finally knocked down earlier this year (doesn't mean it wouldn't be on Street View through)
@The505Guys Especially as they often replaced traditional architecture in many centuries-old grand buildings which actually had character. One of the bad things to come out of the 60s/70s unfortunately.
5:40 - I’m still thinking UK for this
(playing UK only map) 😂
It's just one of those days
Yea lol thought I must've misunderstood since I'm American
@@elthomas_ he meant mainland UK, as in England, Wales, NI and Scotland. Rather than the Isle of Man or Gibraltar or something like that
Dank Caesar I think he actually meant England. I'm not sure, though!
Good one
What I learned from the comment section today: There are no electrified railways in Northern Ireland.
U.V.F stands for Ulster Volunteer Force - A paramilitary organisation, also if you see electrified railways its definitely not Northern Ireland, there are no electrified lines
seriously? would have never guessed that
The original UVF were the 36th Ulster division of the British Army who served in France In WW1 and were volunteers who were asked to join by Edward Carson. They were also known as Carson volunteers (YCV)
The U in U.V.F and the church instantly made me think that it was Northern Ireland.
A terrorist group more like mate
@@dankcaesar4760 426 deaths caused by them during The Trouble. So yes, they are terrorists.
I was literally screaming at the screen for Walkden because there was an 0161 phone number on the vape shop within the first 20 seconds which we'd already found was manchester!!
yep, I also saw that straight away
Hah same!
yup he even said it... D'oh
I was screaming at the screen because I am from Walkden😂😂
I came to the comments section to say this
5:37 "I'm still thinking UK for this... Yea... Very much so"
Wow what a guess in the UK country streaks challenge lol
Haha sorry *England
was watching an Eddie Hall video (English strongman) who was in Scotland, traveling back by train to England and said on arrival "Finally back in the UK". So is England considered the "only UK" by Englishmen? Just wondering...
Roger Putt Not to me personally. I think it’s just people associating England with the UK and using them interchangeably when it’s incorrect.
@The505Guys Please excuse my ignoranse, but wasn't it more of a conquest than a unification anyway? =) I guess Conquered Kingdom could work a bit less unifying in people's minds.
@The505Guys Ok, cheers.
My takeaway from this video:
The UK is hedges. Hedges all around.
We invented hedges and we are dam proud of them. It all started with a shubbery
@@myview5840 Do you arrange, design and sell shrubberies?
@@tekrunner987 Ni
Accurate
No worries, he checks if he is indeed filming at 16:04
As soon as I saw UVF I was shouting Northern Ireland at the screen. If it was IRA it would have been easier for him
I knew it was near Newcastle because of the Mournes
A straight forward way of determining whether you are in England or Scotland is looking at windows on the buildings. Typically, English buildings have windows aligned with the external finish whereas Scotland set windows back 100mm for additional protection from the elements.
Interesting!
Add to that, there's a regulation in Scotland that all windows on new builds 4m+ above ground level have to be able to be cleaned from the inside. As a result they tend to be able to fully swivel. so by looking at the upstairs windows you on what look like new houses you can rule Scotland out a lot of the time!
@@afrocomber Correct! Fellow GeoGuessr Architect?
Nice to see you get into this stuff, congrats on the record! I'm gradually balancing out the map to include more Wales/Scotland/NI, so it should become harder then ;).
this isnt an attack on you or anything, but ready for this to be a near unbeatable record because of changes to the map lmao
ah well, its all a bit of fun
Yeah it does seem a bit too much England, I'd say over 80% England in this video. At least 33 mins in.
*Sees rundown building*
"Is this DUDLEY?"
As someone from Wolves, love it.
5:38 "I'm still thinking UK with this." Smart fella.
To say I'm upset is an understatement. Congratulations (I suppose) ;)
That screams for a video in which you attempt to take that record back :D
@@sebastianmallek5617 watch out for it ;)
Thanks Sim, I feed off your misfortune. Nah - great effort mate, and I welcome any efforts to beat this (without chat) ..It gives me something else to aim for ;)
@Granis hi Granis, where did al your vids go? :(
Sil Verkade. that ain’t the real granis mate.
“UVF, football? nah it can’t be a football club”
i am in tears hahahaha
If you've seen the Linfield away kit, it aint a whole lot away from it!
So its not Ugandan Vaulting Federation
Was lookin forward to seeing Northern Ireland's first appearance in this and then couldn't believe it when I saw UVF.... Next video will probably say 'UDA' beside some painted kerb stones
@@peterlowry6990 Its funny english people dont know about it
@@BadDubII People who know even the slightest bit about history do lol
Really happy to see the Geotips site gaining more traction! Cool to see my name listed on there as it is, and now it's even cooler to see it on your video :) Congrats on the record too!
Round 25 - I saw UVF, immediately thought "Ulster Volunteer Force" (it's a paramilitary group from the time of the Troubles), and was preparing myself for heartbreak. So glad you got it right!
Me: Oh it'll be really hard to tell when it's Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland: UVF
What does uvf mean? I'm from germany and would like to know more.
@@dominicvengert7375 Ulster Volunteer Force, it's the protestant/loyalist counterpart to the IRA.
So much of the UK is just naturally beautiful. I ended up emigrating for work but watching this reminds me where home really is. Some phenomenal knowledge here too 👏🏻
36:49 Tom: "I don't think I can rule out Northern Ireland"
Me, a railway nerd: there isn't any electrified railway in Northern Ireland.
BTW, the South Wales Main Line's electrification to Cardiff only completed in 2020, and I don't think street view has updated yet. So by the electric railway along, you can easily rule out Wales and Northern Ireland.
how do they not have electrified railways lmao its the 21st century
@@jacobhowson9596 I don't know about NI but for Wales our railways are still under Westminster control (our trains are controlled by Cardiff, our railway tracks by Westminster), and Westminster don't tend to bother spending money in Wales
36:45 there are no electrified railways in Northern Ireland
The Walkden location had a telephone number on one of the buildings. The code was 0161, which you had on a previous round (the "brute" building). Had you spotted the number, I'm sure you would've remembered it was Manchester's area code.
Or the co.uk address
@@PatrikS1994 What
I was going to ask about UK phone numbers, never saw him use a code as clue
@@larilarilarissa 19:18
@@excho I completely screwed up here, I thought co.uk meant England and I admit I was wrong haha
Dude you're the perfect man for the Storror manhunt. They put a bounty on finding them travelling the UK, check their instagram and youtube. You fould film your hunt.
Great video as always Tom. Couple of little things to help just incase you weren't aware, England tends to have brick walls that serperate the farms, at least in the North, Scotland does not. so that's a big giveaway.
And Aberdeen has Blue Street signs. I was screaming Aberdeen at the TV. But well Done on the streak!
I didnt look at the length of the video so I didnt know how well he would do!😄 I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!😂 Congrats!!!🎉
"UVF is that a football club"
I nearly shat myself laughing
"You wouldnt fly that if you were in scotland or wales" that comment made me laugh at how truthful it is considering i'm scottish.
I think this might be the infancy of an emerging new E sport
Great prediction lol
33:05 UVF - Ulster Volunteer Force, they love their acronyms over there 😬🤣
Great to see you have discovered GeoTips! ^^
@@dudebros6122 I've sen his trips across Wales. They were amazing 😄 I'll have to watch the Europe adventure as well
Congrats on your records @GeoPeter glad to have found another geoguessr youtuber to kill time with!
I found your channel by watching your straight-line adventures and have somehow been watching your Geoguessr videos for like 6 hours on the side. So, so relaxing. Love it
16 minutes in......"Are we filming?" LMAO
27:01 the 0161 phone number.
0161 Manny on the map
I literally think it‘s wales every round cause of the hedges u climbed in the wales series😂
Me too😂
A parkour group called „Storror“ is giving out 10.000£ if you find them in the next 10 days in the uk. They will post hints on youtube and instagram. First thing came to my mind was Geowizzard has a good chance of finding them with the help of their hints. They will be outdoors for the entire period.
I was almost crying when he didnt see the "0161" on the Walkden Vape shop, he spent so long on that answer and I thought it was going to cost him the streak
20:40 omg I was like I know that road! I live in Banbury! That’s amazing! What a coincidence!
I dont know why but i feel so content and grounded watching your videos, keep them coming. Much love
22:25 “look Glengormley” I live there, tiny wee town outskirts of Belfast and you manage to find our weird name 🤣 love it
5:37 "I'm still thinking UK for this" well you're not wrong there considering its a uk map. (I know he ment England, just found it funny)
Get comfortable, we ain't going out.
LMAO.
this dude is amazing....i recently started watching you and i can’t stop binge watching your videos
I wish it’d show the borders because I don’t know where they are
“My goodness that’s a horrendous building......IS THAT DUDLEY?”
Hahahaha
UVF= Ulster volunteer force
This shit is plastered everywhere here, so it is worth remembering!
🇬🇧
Great video man! If it helps, remember to look at the crops when in rural areas: the staple produce in South England(wheat, beats, ect...) is different to Scotland(seed rape, potatoes and wheat in winter) and NI due to the climate.
That Northern Ireland guess was a good one. UVF was a massive clue but it's hard to blame you for not knowing what it stood for initially. The U is for Ulster though so good shout there and Holmes, yeah Eamonn Holmes was a good call too.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you need to start learning some landline area codes for the UK! You can see numbers on vans and shops in most rounds, so so many rounds could be made much shorter, and it could make country streak a doddle
If you've used anki before, I feel like that would be the perfect way to learn them, too
ALSO! You should reach out to brave dave and see if he wants to go on a mission with you! I feel like you have a lot to offer each other and you're both fucking hilarious, you'd make some great content.
I mentioned this on one of his videos too and he quite liked the idea...
25:30 I live in Charleston and powmyre is a small quarry about 5 minutes away.
Epic, bossed it. always great to see a UK-related vids from you
Awesome effort, well done. And congratulations on 500k!
I was so relieved when you made the U.V.F connection to Ulster hahaha
didn’t expect to see my home town on here but cool to see walkden on here
I was rooting for u so hard especially at the end there... that clutch wales + Scotland back to back was incredible. A true fucking geoguessr legend....... well just a legend in general 😂😁 congrats on the record ---- til the next one!!!
Brillant! Congratulations on record and the Million subscribers!
The 0161 on the vape shop in Walkden!! You scared me that you were going to pick Scotland
haha I can't believe he missed that like 3 times especially after getting the same dialing code just a few rounds earlier
I just commented that, u were faster to see that, i was so pissed that he didnt see it hahaha
Excruciating few minutes there, having spotted it right!
also halifax bank not bank of scotland
@@Stego27 That's a good spot too. Hadn't thought of that.
"that looks like a worryingly Scottish themed for sale sign" Hahaha brilliant
I just discovered this channel. You videos are so soothing.
Was surprised to see Banbury on the 16th round. I recognised that road immediately, only around the corner from where I live. Great video
Glad to see you getting involved in this!
Oh hello there. Might have a crack at some of these myself (don’t hold your breath) 😅
As someone from North Ireland this hurt to watch at the end, seeing uvf on a wall is the equivalent of seeing a "welcome to northen Ireland" sign, nearly cried when you got it!
Love your videos. I think its awsome how humble you are. You constantly get locations spot on and u credit luck. Lol. Bro its now luck. You are extremely intelligent, observant, and decisive. Your geographic knowledge is really good. Most people now days cant point out there own home on a map. They would have to "search" it... smh.... keep up the good work my man.
Finally a wizard, well played and congrats with the channel!
I checked geotips, you're on there! Nice one man.
"God that's a horrendous building.... is this Dudley?" Hahahaha love it
I really enjoyed that. You should go for more records from that site.
Congrats on 500k mate! Well deserved
3:53 the Age Of Empires 2 farm depletion sound??
My reflexes instantly went for the . key to target the idle villager
0:41 mom get the camera, i'm in the video o.O
GG
congrats on 500k mate!
I’m flat on my back with COVID; your fun vids are keeping my sanity intact!
Have you heard of the Geoguessr Esports youtube channel? I would love to see you there! Keep it on!
"How have you been spending your weekends during the lockdown?"
6:44
You are just insane, Tom! Incredible vid
It's true that the British Government did plant Scottish settlers in Northern Ireland but the reason for similar placenames is because of the shared Gaelic language brought by Gaels who migrated from Ireland to Scotland from around 500/600 AD
Walkden had an 0161 phone number on the vape shop same as Wythenshawe. Surprised you missed that.
Yep also 0161 on the car park sign.
Verity pointed this out to me post filming. I'm an idiot.
saw this too i was creasing!!
Shouting at You Tube ... 0161 ... 😬
Im seeing the wythenshawe KFC and im here like "omg, I literally was there 4 hours ago" hahah
Congrats on almost reaching 500k!
Congrats on 500k Tom!! :D
So professional man. Nr. 20 You could see again 0161 code which you referred earlier as the area of Manchester :)
basically the only thing i got right watching along!
Me who lives in Australia, and has never even been to the UK:
hmmm interesting
Me who has literally walked past one of the locations in the video several times
HMMMM
This is amazing man, well done!
Congratulations on hitting 500K subscribers!!! You deserve it mate. How is the album coming along?
"I'm gonna guess this is UK"
Well, obviously!
13:40 did you have to cross any of those stone walls on you mission across wales? i dont think so.... and in this round there are a lot of them.
Well done mate. Looking forward to the next video.
Hell of a run! Awesome job!
*Dear Americans - **_Yes, this is what we do for fun in England._*
im an American and i do this for fun too, you arent alone
I thought you all played darts, drank beer, and sang "God save the queen".
@@grantofat6438 Darts is niche, them alcoholics drink prosecco, and most of us think the Queen is kinda pointless
0161 phone number in the WALKDEN one! Next to the Vape shop
You nearly missed on Walkden because you didn't see the phone number on the Vape shop! Great video, I've become addicted to watching you play Geoguessr btw (I know I'm late but I'm catching up)
Haha I was shouting Northern Ireland at the screen as soon as I saw that UVF tag. Can’t believe you got that one without recognising it!
“Get in!” and “are we recording?” have become your brand now. Time for some merch!
When is Norway expodision coming out
Clues for spotting house scheme locations are mostly the further south you go in the uk the window frames are more likely to be flush with the external brick while in Scotland windows are set further back into the external wall, it’s a weather thing to protect the windows from the elements. Like this so he can see this for future reference.
Also houses in Scotland are more prominent in rough casting rather than the red brick you see more down south in England
The west of Scotland uses a lot of red sandstone on buildings while the east of Scotland it’s mostly yellow sandstone
Aberdeen is granite, that’s why it’s known as the granite city.
I got so excited when I saw birchwood on here I live like 2 minutes from where the picture was taken, mad
