Join me in what I was desperately hoping would be my fourth AND final attempt at this grueling 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.

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...

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?

Today we take a closer look at all of my noteworthy deviations, talk about why they happened and how I could have prevented them. I also discuss strategy and how this one differed from previous missions, as well as an in depth look at the Burdell score as well as other interesting stats on the scoremyline website. Finally I discuss three new pieces of kit that revolutionised things this time around. Man it feels good to make one of these knowing that it's definitely the last one (in Wales!)
