GeoWizard: No Roads Mission
Birmingham
I convinced my poor brother to join me once more as we made an audacious attempt to cross the entire city of Birmingham, from Sandwell in the west over to Solihull in the East, without using and roads or canals.
Can We Cross the UK's 2nd Largest City Without Using a Single Road?
Back in April I convinced my poor brother to join me once more as we made an audacious attempt to cross the entire city of Birmingham, from Sandwell in the west over to Solihull in the East, without using and roads or canals. With more people, more security, more filth and sewage and some of Birmingham's most knife crime ridden housing estates, this one promised to be a serious step up from the already challenging Black Country Mission from back in 2021. There had to be slightly more leeway whilst crossing roads this time, but some of the shit we had to go through more than makes up for that I reckon.
Dead Rats, Used Needles and Orange Sewage
We've already made it into Birmingham city centre by the skin of our teeth, now it's time to head north east into the highly secure wholesale market site, before delving deep into Birmingham's grimy underworld. Used needles, dead rats and endless streams of foul smelling slime litter our path as we snake northwards towards the M6 Motorway and the river Tame, where we realise that our job is most certainly not done.. Will we make it all the way over to the borough of Solihull without having to succumb to the tarmac? be sure to watch all 45 disease ridden minutes to find out.
