Three Youtubers’ race across the island has received more than 200,000 views in 24 hours.
Thomas Davies, better known online as GeoWizard, raced Archie and Adam Fieldhouse across the island in December last year.
Their straight line mission race came about from a challenge Archie and Adam laid down to GeoWizard.
He told his followers: ‘A year ago my straight line missioning rivals Archie and Adam Fieldhouse challenged me to a race across the Isle of Man, and in December 2023 it happened. 10 miles across mountains, freezing lakes and farmland. Full of excitement, drama, pain and one rather angry landowner.’
Starting at Glen Wyllin, the trio not only had to try and win, but they also had to try and go in as much of the straight line they were given as possible.
Along the way, they had to contend with Sulby reservoir, steep hills and outright just trespassed over one man’s garden, who was far from happy about it, but still offered him advice on how to get to the finish at Laxey Beach.
On the upside, they did show the island’s countryside off.
