This week i'm attempting to travel across the uk for free to find my stick! My walking stick got me through the hostile norther expanse of Scotland. Unfortunately i lost it en route! Well, they do say "No man left behind" so its time to get back on the road, retracing my steps in order to find my long lost walking stick. Join me as i journey north in search of a stick.

Don’t forget you can get an exclusive @Surfshark Holiday deal! Enter promo code TRANSIT to get up to 6 additional months for free at surfshark.deals/transit Haha, what a silly adventure. Thanks for watching everyone. Merry Christmas and a special thanks to all the legends that decided to pick up some ragamuffin on the side of the road

Well done for getting your stick back. Great that people are still willing to help a stranger out with a lift. I used to hitch from Oban to Fort William every Wednesday morning. 9 times out of 10 ot would be the same people. I also have a soft spot for the place you lost your stick. Before Strathclyde park was built there was a Mining village there and I spent the first four years of my life in the village. Looking forward to seeing your next adventures. Safe travels to you both

Well done for sticking with it, Tom. The Romanian lad was epic!

@paulmillen1758 8 месяцев назад

I posted when you trekked in Napal that you should get a stick. I was really pleased when you got one in Scotland and devastated when you lost it. They are a friend, a companion. So good to see you found your lost friend and such an adventure. Well done Pilgrim!

@forexguy 8 месяцев назад

Great punchline pun; 'thanks for stickin' around', perfect. Happy Christmas and best wishes for the New Year. I hope you have a smooth transit...ion!

@IsabelJones69 8 месяцев назад

You are very dedicated. In Late July and early August, I went, with my dad and brother, to Chamonix in France and didn't bring any walking sticks but on the first walk, my brother found me the perfect stick and it got me through all the walks we did. At the end of the trip, I left the stick at the house we stayed in (my dad's friend's holiday home) for others to enjoy.

@thomasjcahill2798 8 месяцев назад

It was a fantastic watch!

@manconthemove 8 месяцев назад

That's something I would have done too Tom. You dont see much hitchhiking these days so it was encouraging to see that you managed it 👏🏻. The students at the university of Manchester used to do a hitchhike challenge called the "Bogle Stroll". The challenge was to see who could hitchhike the furthest in 24hrs from Manchester to win the prize. Anyway, won't bore you anymore 😂 Well done to you, it was definitely worthwhile

@SianRussell 8 месяцев назад

Wow Tom just wow!! Wish there were more characters like you to make the world a nicer place. Merry Christmas to you both ❤️

@affalaffaa 8 месяцев назад

It's like Tom Hanks' character got Wilson back... Very emotional. Seriously though, that's some effort for a stick, well done.

@ianhaines5788 8 месяцев назад

Mate, this is quality,. You need to do more of these.

@LostInTransit 8 месяцев назад

I want to, had lots of fun filming and editing it

@brianfarrelly7151 8 месяцев назад

Tom, you’re an absolute lunatic - travelling that distance for your “staff”. But I have to say - well done and a big thank u to those who identified the site of the missing stick. Have a wonderful Christmas Tom and Izzy and enjoy 2024.

@pollyduron674 8 месяцев назад

This was actually brilliant! I was so sad when you lost your walking stick. When you go on that trying an adventure, small things are important. That stick will bring back memories and reminders of your endurance. Great job finding it! I am looking forward to your next videos ❤

@jackierichards33 8 месяцев назад

I’m not sure if you are getting ever more eccentric, trudging 500 miles to find a stick albeit via hitch hiking , or if you’re just plain nuts!! Goodness knows how your Romanian friend drove his truck the next day after the wild alcohol you both imbibed. I kept thinking “ I’m so glad Izzy won’t see this until Tom is safely there. “ And just when it couldn’t get any madder you start searching in a muddy ditch in the pitch dark to find the staff. Incredible. Crazy. Totally off the wall . I enjoyed it 😅😂. Kudos to the subscriber who identified where you had lost the flipping stick, what amazing followers you have. Safe journey home

@charlie_robin 8 месяцев назад

This is strangely really inspiring lol the world can help you find a stick! Think what else it could do!

@lizp7248 8 месяцев назад

That is just the best reason that anyone ever went on a journey! Your long trek & that stick reminded me of my favourite ever music video: "Float" by Flogging Molly. 😭

@rosethomas8504 8 месяцев назад

Tbh I felt mildly devastated when stick got lost, I cannot believe that a viewer found it for you! Incredible. It’s made my dogs Christmas too, they love sticks more than anything.

@SorinGoldmen Месяц назад

Heloo Tom.... Sorin here.... I'm glad you find the stick....

@LostInTransit Месяц назад

hello Sorin! thank you for the help, and the fun night.

@johnalden5821 7 месяцев назад

I admire you for choosing a goal and sticking to it (sorry for the Dad joke). I hear what you are saying about confronting fears in your adventures. Anxiety is a tool to build preparedness. May all of your adventures make you at least a little bit nervous and may they all come out glorious in the end.

@lawrencesmith8104 8 месяцев назад

Brilliant mate, well done for getting the walking stick back. This is what life is about. Fair play to you.

@tomandlaurentravel 8 месяцев назад

"thanks for sticking around" pun intended Issy? Great video though, very entertaining- glad you were reunited! Hope you have nice Christmas and New Year :)

@PalCabral 8 месяцев назад

When you hitchhike, Tom, especially when you’re going to Scotland, the sign should always say “Caracus”, as an ode to the immortal scottish movie Gregory’s Girl and when Andy and Charlie are leaving to hitch hike to Caracas, Venezuela, because there are so many more women per every man there. Caracus.

@markandrews6054 7 месяцев назад

Enjoyed that. Good on you. We used to do loads of hitch hiking years ago with an Anywhere But Here sign figuring if you could make drivers smile at our sense of humour it would get us lifts quicker. It definitely worked. We used to go all over the place from Cornwall. I'll never forget the time we got a lift in the back of a 2CV6, sat in the boot facing backwards with the rear hatch resting on our chests with our legs dangling out the back, feet skidding over the tarmac as we came down the M5 towards Taunton. We were bonkers back then lol.

@chrisraven1229 8 месяцев назад

What a laugh, well done for persevering. For everybody living outside of Bristol it is always referred to as Brisol, it's the accent they have.

@jungleboots769 8 месяцев назад

This really made me smile with delight. Your sturdy companion and aid - reunited !😊 forever a memory x We hear so much fear mongering and lies forecast today. Toms journey has shown us we are all Gods true traveler’s journeying on in each others life’s path together in the unknown. God bless Tom and Izzy Seasonal greetings to you both🕊️

@bigcorky4687 8 месяцев назад

Me and my grandson walk along that path and stop at that spot where you left the stick regularly, it was probably him that threw it in the mud as he's always throwing stuff in, the exact spot is on the path that runs down from the old bothwell bridge under the newer flyover and a few yards along its more of a ditch than a stream and is impassable for me in wet weather

@bigcorky4687 8 месяцев назад

Normally throws sticks into the Clyde there so your luck was in😂

@LostInTransit 8 месяцев назад

Phew, didn’t fancy a brisk swim in the Clyde hahaha

@bigcorky4687 8 месяцев назад

@@LostInTransit the path that you took from Bothwell bridge across the ditch is no longer the clyde walkway, if you had followed the new path along side the main road to strathclyde park you might not have left your stick at the swamp😂

@orapronobis2149 8 месяцев назад

Now you need to carve on it or put one of those colorful staff clips. This is insane. Enjoyed seeing you recover your “stick”. Most importantly you are safe. Cheers to both of you. ❤🎉

@siccodierdorp6947 8 месяцев назад

@dclews 8 месяцев назад

Brilliant! I've watched all your John O'Groats -> Lands End vids and it was like I was on the journey with you. To go back to Scotland just to get your stick was crazy but, wow, the people you met on the way. Yes, it's the journey, not the destination. Look forward to your next videos. Have a great New Year guys and a good Christmas too!

@gransha3 7 месяцев назад

A suggestion for hitch hiking. When you are offered a lift take a photo of the driver and their number plate and send it to a friend. Make sure they know you have done this.

@alecgwynn510 7 месяцев назад

@observer87 7 месяцев назад

Hello again - it’s been a while ( you stayed in my house in Kerry 2 years ago). Pleased you’re still on your odyssey (and with Issy). That was a brilliant idea and beautifully captured the highs and lows of hitchhiking which was what most young people did back in my youth.i did Athens to London in 5 days as a 17 year old. Having just flown Ryanair Luton-Kerry for a tenner you would be mad to do it today but as you showed in your video you are richer for a genuinely life affirming experience. Well done. What next? Cross the Atlantic in a hot air balloon? Actually, I had a pupil who cycled lands end - John o groats on a unicycle (9 days) - just a thought….

@michaelstaunton1632 8 месяцев назад

@patcoburn1960 8 месяцев назад

One man and his stick. 🤣 My better half and me bought two walking sticks in Lourdes about ten years ago and got our names engraved on them. Roughly three years we went for a walk in our nearby forest park in Ravensdale, Co Louth, Ireland, and I 'lent' my stick to my then four-year-old grand-daughter. When we approached the bridge over the fast-moving stream our wee grand-daughter decided it would be a great idea to throw it over the bridge into the abyss. We tried to get to it a few days later but it was too steep to get to. We haven't seen it since. 🤣🤣🤣 Glad you had a happy ending.

@johnclankie324 8 месяцев назад

Hey Tom, well done, I didn’t think people hitchhiked any more!! I was at College in Southampton many years ago and my Company would only pay my travel costs at main holidays, so to get to Arbroath in Angus where I lived was a bit of a challenge. I must say I did several times and met some really nice people. So pleased you found your stick that was really lucky!! Cheers, Mike 🍷🍷👍

@briandolan8584 8 месяцев назад

I knew well that the stick would come back to haunt you at some stage like Gandalf and his staff you cannot be parted well done you and Izzy for letting you go

@btraffordphotos 8 месяцев назад

Great video it brings back loads of memorys, I hicth hiked from Lands End to John O Grotes in 3 1/2 days way back in the late 80s. It really is about the people you meet.

@academyofpresence 8 месяцев назад

You my friend are epic! Awesome stuff and a man after my own heart. Now you need to carve a phoenix in the top of the staff... It was after all your rise from the flames my friend. Well done and much love and blessings to you both. 💜

Tom, what a great video! Sometimes it's those silly little adventures that bring out the best in us. That stick represents more than just a walking stick, but a companion during an amazing adventure! You would have made Bilbo Baggins proud. Take all the time you need and making these lovely videos. You guys really do a great job. Thank you.

It's probably a Ken Dodd joke - and more of a visual gag - but my father-in-law used to say: "I'm a Mystic. Everything about me is mystic." Then, holding up his walking stick, "This is me stick!" So, you're officially a Mystic! 🤘😂 Also, I hope you're Romanian mate wasn't still over the limit the next morning! 😬

@MegaCocodile 8 месяцев назад

I used to hitch hike all over NZ 15+ years ago, I would get picked up quite quickly , but there was once it took hours and hours, I have not thought about doing it in the UK TBH but after this video, I think this is the way forward for going for a long distance Thru Hike, I mean if I want to park the car in a very safe location and not leave the car in sketchy places where an angry landowner/ farmer or someone sees a stranded car and smashes the windows etc,
