    I can already imagine the conversation between a welsh farmer and their wife:
    "Honey, can you come to the window?"
    "what is it?"
    "it's that bloody man from last year again, hopping over our fences even though there's a gate right next to him - and he's convinced some other mad bloke to do it with him."
    EDIT: The reply section appears to have been hijacked by some Welsh farmers who are currently having a friendly debate on how to spell non-existent words.

    As someone from Wales - Farmers are the bane of my existence when you just want to go for a scenic walk. Walk down a random country path and a farmer will emerge out of the treeline like Homer Simpson out of a hedge. Like he had been there for thousands of years, waiting for that one moment someone ventures onto his property.

      Switzerland would be hard, I agree. From north to south you have to cross the Alps sooner or later which is impossible unless you have an army of elephants at your disposal. There's a chance you could get from the NE Bodensee to the SW Lac Leman in a slightly curved line but it's all either buildings, highways or railroads there.

      Switzerland is only possible if you do some sort of cross section East to West /West to East in the northern part of the country, even then you will have to face buildings cities and such.
      But yeah the alps in the south, you can go through them, but in a straight line ? no it's literally suicidal
      Andorra might be possible, I'm not sure though. Or like any region of a european country, not the country itself

    It’s going to be funny seeing him go through (or really close to) my hometown of Aberystwyth. I’m almost pissed off he didn’t deviate the line a few miles northwards to cross my house and garden lol. Also he crossed through the land of a friend I had in primary school

      Aberystwyth is a nice place, I was considering going to there for uni in September but instead I decided on the South Coast
