Racing GEOWIZARD in a Straight Line across the Isle of Man

In December 2023 we raced the original 'Straight-Line-Missioner' Geowizard across the Isle of Man. Our lines started 150m apart and converged at the same point on the East coast. We decided on a Le Mans style start, and the first to reach the opposite coast while staying within the Platinum deviation zone would be the winner!

Another cool Idea could be doing the exact same line but starting from opposite ends Possibly meeting in the middle somewhere. Would be interesting to see the choices that both parties make at the more challenging obstacles.

Can you imagine the old man seeing two guys run from the street into the hills and then 5 hours later one man running out of the hills to the street 😅

@Cubeforc3 4 ай бұрын

I guess the problem is that one direction is probably a lot steeper than the other, so that makes it harder to make it fair.

@hiimpaul4 4 ай бұрын

@Cubeforc3 sea level to sea level should mean the same elevation deviation. However, it could be argued that climbing up the cliff from the west is harder than climbing up the rocks from the east.

Nicely done -- seems you were right -- teams looked about evenly matched, you guys did well for sure, but Tom's unforced errors untimately handed you the win. As with all racing it often turns out to be who made fewer mistakes! Again, nicely done!

@VERYEXCITED 3 ай бұрын

This is such a great idea. The head-to-head competition adds an extra layer of fun and strategy to straight line missions. Another idea might be to keep GPS trackers in your pockets, and limit yourself to only a compass and landmarks. Then, the adherence to a straight line will also depend on your planning and orienteering skills. There's a lot of Boy Scouts out there who might like to see orienteering applied in a race like this. Getting platinum with just a compass would be quite a feat.

Good effort boys. Tom will always be the founding OG, but you’re worthy successors to carry the torch and inspire more competition. Tom’s route looked rougher but he didn’t plan as well, the swim was a bad decision for timing and condition. Great work from you two, deserved the win.

You could run past the window of someone who's had a house invasion, or been raped or something, adding to mental health problems or PTSD, it's just not a good look, but I FUCKING LOVE the adventure of it, what to do eh?
