out where you are I'm nervous I'm excited grab a kaupa have a seat get comfortable and without further Ado let's go huge shout out to Stuart who created this map if this is something you would like to get involved in you want to hang out you want to join in you want to make maps you want to join the community please consider joining us on Twitch I live stream every Wednesday and Sunday night sewer is one of the twitch live stream community members so steuart thank you very much this is the firs
t time I've done this map and I am nervous and I'm just GNA say it right now you guys are probably going to be screaming at your screens um because it's probably going to be very evident where we are but not for me so hope that's not too annoying here we go oldest pubs we are having no time limit because of who I am as a person okay we can do this this is fine what is this is this the the shirt no of course not it's the skurd in now this feels like a Scottish word because I don't know what that
means never mind it's whale's oldest pub okay beautiful is there something better than a pub picnic bench on a sunny day I don't think so all right well we're in Wales but where we kind of oh a brown sign is my biggest friend okay nature reserve and I gonna assume these are two locations um we'll have to look at the map in a second more Herford that's very English isn't it are we kind of close which way is Herford don't look at my Hereford okay what was the other word abanin oh aberaman okay so
where are we what's this um sorry make this a bit smaller you're in the way do you guys know how to pronounce that [Music] Kimo obviously Kim yoi one of the things that always throws me is I never know how close or how far away from the map I can be all right well we're kind of Hereford was 20 this was a bit closer Nature Reserve is that like the natural landscape or is it this National Park oh England and Wales line that's cool I've never I've been to Wales been to ciff I've been in Northern Wa
les as well this is fun okay we got to be in Wells Wales obviously oh lanthony is right here okay how far away is that six I have no sense of um distance so um that is going to be an issue oh Kim kimy okay hey Queen's head surely you think that this Pub would show up right okay let's go back to the beginning can we see what this road is called I actually haven't been very far sorry about that what's this street called love skuid Mountain okay okay is skuid the little locality perhaps is it is it
legitimately the the oh there's a church here we love a good church let's have a look at that St Michael's something church is that Chapel but it got cut off Parish of whales I love you what's with all the fun words eh can we see a St Michaels skewed sked mountain in St Michaels is that what that's called now it's more of an inn than it is a [Music] um the skewed in scared mountain in guys we're right here and I feel pretty confident about that wo all right how long did that take I don't know w
e are going to do the full map so we'll get the scores and and everything at the end very excited about that one oo flying high okay we can figure this out so this was 1251 which is very cool rebuilt in 1636 which is insane in this ancient Hosley James Stanley 7eventh Earl of Darby passed his last few hours of his life previous to his execution oh all right this is nice does anyone recognize this beautiful um cobblestones and they actually look like they've been taken care of we got the swan nex
t door beautiful remember that churchgate road or whatever okay will you guys remember that CU I know by the end of this uh section I'm going to be freaking out and I'm not going to remember what this this street is called oh tasty King's Kebab I love England all right oh and the taste of Greece what a beautiful country okay so this is a very nice Road we're on Church Road do we have any like websites oh it's I did a um geogas video previously and loads of people in the comments were like it's s
o obvious where you are because of the telephone area codes my guy I don't even know the area codes in Canada where I am from you think I'm going to know the area codes of this country absolutely not can we see Bolton hey I know where I know where one Bolton is it's up here in it whereabouts not in Manchester but kind of close to it right here is that the same Bolton we looked pretty um like a really nice Main Road God there's so many what was was it Ye Old Man was it here let's go hold on ye ol
d man I don't know how to pronounce that word Scythe we are hold on we are right in front of it aren't we I think we're right here you guys well I can tell you this has been recording for three minutes some of which that is me just like getting set up in and whatever three minutes wow oh my God this is so fun okay we are at the porch house which is gorgeous look at this and picnic benches I love it England's oldest in 947 ad bra spear this is a problem because I've never seen that word in my ent
ire life but that's okay we can figure it out I hope wow it's isn't that gorgeous look at all the homes here and stuff too it looks like kind of looks like the Yellow Stone of like bath okay can you help me where are we some sort of Boutique do you have a name a town a a region a council what about this it's getting development all right that's fun this is beautiful sunny day okay I'm kind of getting a little bit nervous now because you know you know how it is Taylor and Fletcher I'm not familia
r with this never seen it not one of the big ones at least down here oo a doation that's lovely okay we've got some area codes once again means literally nothing to me and I ref refuse to memorize that kind of stuff because it I just can't oh my God that's a puppy that is a floppy puppy if I ever did see one beautiful really jealous cotswald company Cheese Company I totally miss that I I love cheese funny that I missed that are we in the cotswalds or is that just a name cotswald Garden te- rooms
okay well that's a good hint all right I feel a little bit better but it's a big place is it not how are we going to find this one little it's very cute I I love hey steuart house Stuart did you know this was here how fun now if you missed my previous geoguesser video wow this is even the Barkley looks really nice the hey back when this was Hermes still crap though is it the original geoguesser video I wanted to do because I knew it was going to be really embarrassing cuz traditionally when we
play This Together on Twitch live streams I do really badly and I basically have to be carried by everybody else and um I thought it would be funny to do it as a video on my own because um you know everybody will laugh at me and I just love it love getting laughed at anyway I did the video and I did really well that was just a basic UK map um I did it shockingly well much better than I had any right to do so um here we are again now I'm kind of nervous because I feel like I have a lot to prove a
nd that worries me okay so cotswalds were kind of like here right hey I just went to chelham well not just went but recently okay there's a lot of names down here though it started with an S not strw I hope we don't have to be too close up oh was it the king hold on rewind what's the pub even called oh no it's the porch house this is a very unique name I can't say that I've ever porch like the king's head is so common right the porch house very very different oh my God diddly squat Farm [Laughte
r] Shop all right shout if you see anything we are looking for bra spear it actually does not start with an S I don't know why I thought that it starts with a B I'm just looking in the green whether that is correct or not time will only tell this place is just called box um that's fun I don't know if I'm getting out of I'm like is this whole sort of green area part of the cot walls I kind of thought it was but whenever I do this I just second guess myself constantly all right guys I'll be honest
I have done um a quick pass through in this area looking for bra Spear and I have not found it which is now I'm starting to panic so I'm I'm looking quicker now which I know I'm not supposed to I'm starting to worry what if I don't find it I was doing so well um but it's just I don't see it and I am only looking at the the green part of the map like this could be just on the outside there's so many names though do you know what I mean like the UK in general just has so many names you don't see
this in Canada like look at look at all these names for such a small part of the country okay well now I'm starting to panic and that's fine we're going to put this away we're going to just take a deep breath we're going to go for a little wander okay and maybe we will see a sign that doesn't really help historic church was that the church that we just saw that's under construction oh back up back up back up back back up back up back up back no back up Sir okay okay okay okay okay hold on hold o
n hold on hold on hold on now I'm starting to panic chel them and I've been there where's the other one is it not I thought it was here okay a43 a43 6 I hate doing it by roads because I have no sense a436 we're kind of in this is region do you guys see it is it is it visible I'm going to scream if it's visible okay we think we're kind of at least chelam how do you say this one s chest not certain chelam was beautiful by the way um it's funny so I obviously am not from here don't know if you don'
t know if you knew that and I have always lived in Kent cuz that is where my partner is and I'm just like yeah whatever sure let's live in Kent do we think this is the historical church it kind of looks shut anyway um whenever we go someplace or now whenever I play this game um in the UK I'm like could I live here honestly this is Gorge could I live here 100% could I afford to live here that is a different question I really like cheltam though it was um it felt very much like a neighborhood of L
ondon was just kind of like picked up and plopped someplace else um the only problem um the people we were with that who live there were saying like it's a beautiful place and they love living there but you do you're kind of just on your own like you can't get to places super easy it's not too far from um Bristol why are all these signs blurred out I need help you're not too far from Bristol and stuff but like they never go you know it's just like slightly too far that you just don't bother okay
I need to I need to really pay attention because I am starting to freak out okay we know that we're kind why are all these signs messed up oh my God please we already know um chelam and whatever the other one was is kind of in this area but this doesn't help me because I'm really bad with signs can you believe I just said that I'm really bad with signs and I'm playing a game that is solely based on reading signs what's the other ones what's Stratford hey we have a Stratford in Canada if you can
believe it do we think it's Stratford upon Avon God we're all we're just like right in here where is it I refuse to give up but this round is taking me so much longer than that last one it really does help when you have a general sense of where things are obviously Town Center Morton in Marsh what the hell is that is that the place Morton in that cannot be a real name surely not oh my God it is is this where we were it's not bra Spear and I have been looking around for Brax Bear all this time o
r is it just on the outskirts okay I went back to the beginning we are on dig Beth Street um and I also noticed like a lot of these places have CAU swalled in the name like the street we were on I kind thought this was like a main road but I didn't think it was in Morton in but maybe it's like a little like sub place I honestly don't know I'm starting to panic I've already been I've been panicking this whole time I'm not starting to panic I have always been panicking I feel like this one is so o
bvious too and everybody's going to be screaming okay so I just went down the street and I found the Bell which is the heart of Stow on the world we are in a this another place so we've seen a sign for this place does this place even come up on the map Town Center which town my love which town okay welcome to Stow on the world historic Market town now we we walked to um on MASH which is not the right name we want Stow on the W but that is not ringing a bell oh my God it is ringing a bell we were
on dig bth weren't we this this round has killed me dig bth Street oh my God steuart we're going to have words oh my God that's taken me like almost 25 minutes okay that really um took the wind out of my sales but we got there in the end all right and I'm going to have to edit the ab abute crap out of that section that's fine moving right along this is beautiful the old fairy boat in green King all right looks nice it's time for brunch it's always time for a brunch okay so this is concerning be
cause we are aware that's a good question isn't it question of the hour we are just really out here in the middle of nowhere Stuart how could you do this okay for future reference we are on hollywell front so that's going to be an issue my coffee got cold I was so distracted on that last one okay we're going to be beautiful spot I'm just going to keep going along this road and pray that we get out at some point if that's not too much of a bother okay we've come up to a church but I don't see a s
ign the leaves are beautiful though I don't see a sign oh is this a sign are you a sign look at this ugly ass modern house beside this gorgeous Church John the Baptist that doesn't really help me does it does it help you you guys probably already know where we are oh a sign church thank you all right let's um what does this sign say Powell we were on hollywell front weren't we that means literally nothing to me and I think we are literally out in the middle of nowhere do you guys use the term Bo
onies in Canada if you're kind of like in the middle of nowhere you're like wow we're out in the boonies that's where we are right now suddenly a cold sweat has just enveloped me is this a school passionate about the power of Play WA where though my love where hollyw hollywell Primary School oh Cambridge Shear County Council needing worth sometimes I I've lived in the UK for eight years sometimes I see some of these place names needle needing worth that literally cannot be a real word okay Cambr
idge Shear is that here I'm really not good with the shears is Cambridge in Cambridge Shear or is that like a separate thing I know that's so embarrassing to say out loud but we really be out here oh my God needing worth oh my God Holly [Laughter] Well that took me the time on the camera says about 5 minutes for being in the middle of nowhere I am back on top baby all right this is the fifth um map this is the sheep head in in dud dudingston um so that doesn't help me and maybe it helps you but
not me oh this is gorgeous imagine living across the road from the pub although to be fair I lived beside a pub before and um it's all right I think the nice thing is that most pubs especially like Countryside pubs they shut pretty early you know it's not like 3:00 a.m. and people are are still partying it's like pretty quiet for the most part until you get someone puking in your bushes this is gorgeous I love a bit of stone stone work beautiful but where is duding dudingston it kind of it feels
like it rings a bell I feel like there's a dotting tin or something similar in Kent where they make cider but I don't think it's duding tin this looks like different I don't know Church of Scotland all right well that helps doesn't it but where do we think maybe closer to civilization like maybe around down here maybe it's not going to pop up this far is it [Laughter] we don't have time for that all right I've done a quick scan I don't see ding tin unfortunately I wonder if we can see another s
ign perhaps to give us a general area because Scotland is kind of a large place maybe not large but there's a lot of names Holly rude High School city of Ed city of we're in Edinburgh o Ikea Edinburgh well we were in dudingston so is do we think that's that could either be like a sub like a neighborhood in Edinburgh or I was kind of thinking perhaps it's like just on the edge Oh no just kidding okay dingon here we are all right um do you guys remember what the was it the sheep head I remember se
eing Bizzy Lizzy cuz I thought that was a weird name I think it might be right here let's go back home sheep head in right on the corner I think this is us you guys we did it again have a look at my score oh I leveled up that's me it's too cool to wear shorts right now Elena come on now all right so here is my final score if you guys can see that so first one 7 Minutes 3 minutes 22 minutes that one I almost lost my mind 5 minutes 5 minutes how exciting and I got all of them on Bullseye I might b
