0:00Hello everyone, my name is Ross and
0:01welcome to a complete guide on the
0:03European bolards in Geogesser. I know an
0:06absolutely riveting subject, but an
0:08extremely important one. And the
0:11inspiration for this video, I was just
0:13sick and tired of losing out on easy
0:16wins because I was confusing the bolards
0:18in Europe. So, what I did is I went over
0:21to Plonit, which is a fantastic,
0:23fantastic tool. I'll link the Plonkit
0:25website down below because all of the
0:26graphics today come from that. I went
0:28over to Plonit and I just screenshotted
0:30all of the bolards from each of the
0:32countries in Europe and I've tried to
0:34collect that into a neat presentation so
0:36that we can compare some of the similar
0:38bolards and hopefully improve our own
0:40knowledge and I know Europe
0:41comparatively isn't a massive continent
0:43and often if you just get the general
0:45region that can be enough but if you are
0:47playing no move in particular or even
0:49move and you come across a bolard if
0:51that can give you the country that is a
0:53massive advantage whilst other people
0:54are looking at things like vegetation or
0:57looking for languages is you can just
0:58know immediately off the back of that.
1:00So incredibly important. The way that
1:02today's video is going to work is it's
1:03going to be split into two sections. I'm
1:05going to go through this presentation
1:06now where we go through each of the
1:07country bolards and some of the things
1:09that stand out and for me like the real
1:11bankers that you absolutely need to
1:13know. And then the second half of the
1:14video is me going and playing Geogesser,
1:17pointing out the bolards, discussing
1:18what they look like and trying to
1:20improve as well. I do want to caveat.
1:22I'm not a Geog Geogesser pro. I am by no
1:25means an expert, but I have spent a lot
1:27of this week trying to get to grips with
1:28the bolards and also I'll for the large
1:31part just be reading out what they've
1:32got over on Plonet as well. So,
1:34apologies if I make any mistakes. This
1:36is just to try and improve my own
1:37learning and hopefully help you out as
1:39well. If it does help, make sure to
1:40subscribe. So, yes, presentation by me,
1:43Georraptor, graphics from Plonkit. I'll
1:45link all of this down below. I'll also
1:46try to remember to link this actual
1:47presentation down below so that you can
1:49use it for yourselves as well. So, I've
1:52tried to group them either by the design
1:55of the Bolard or for the most part
1:58geographically, just in case you get a
1:59general vibe like I think this is the
2:01Nordics. I've tried to group them by
2:02that. So, the first two that I want to
2:04discuss is Iceland and Pharaoh Islands.
2:06I'm going to move almost from the west
2:08over to the east of Europe. The reason I
2:10put these two together, obviously, you
2:11can sometimes get them confused. They
2:13are quite close together geographically,
2:15but they are also the only two bolards
2:17that are completely yellow. So Iceland
2:19in particular, if you are spawned on an
2:22a rural road in Iceland and that's where
2:23you pop up, you will almost definitely
2:25see the yellow bard, it is such an easy
2:28win. So they are bright yellow and they
2:30have a white reflector at the top. So do
2:32not forget those. The Pharaoh Island
2:34ones, I haven't seen them as often, but
2:36you can see them. They are wooden, they
2:37are painted yellow. You can also have
2:39the red on the top as well. These are
2:40slightly less common. Definitely if
2:42you're going to look at one of these and
2:43remember one of them, it is those
2:44Icelandic bolards. Then moving on to the
2:47UK, Scotland, Ireland. I know Scotland
2:49is part of the UK of course, but they do
2:50have their own specific ones. The UK
2:52bolard does pop up if you are on quite a
2:54rural road. It's also very recognizable
2:57in Europe. There aren't many bolards
2:58that like it. You've got the black,
3:00white, black with the red as the
3:02reflector on the top. Do be careful with
3:04a lot of these bolards. We'll talk about
3:06the color red, but for lots of them,
3:07that's the front of the bolard. And
3:09sometimes you won't be able to see the
3:10front of the bolard. So, do be careful.
3:12I think you can also see this in like
3:14Indonesia or one of the Asian countries,
3:15but in terms of Europe, you shouldn't be
3:17at this stage. Even if you're a
3:19beginner, you shouldn't be confusing the
3:20two too often. This is definitely a UK
3:22bolard. In Scotland, they actually do
3:24have a unique bolard that looks a bit
3:25like the French bolard. So, it's white,
3:28it's quite thick, and at the top, it's
3:29kind of rounded, and then it has red
3:31that wraps all the way around or gray on
3:33the back. That is quite similar to the
3:36French one, but the French bolard has
3:37this kind of pencil top, whereas you can
3:39see here, this is quite rounded. When we
3:41look at the French barard in a second,
3:42it will make more sense. But just be
3:45careful that you don't see this
3:46immediately think it's the French one
3:48and confuse the top of it. In Ireland,
3:50I've actually not seen these too often,
3:52but Plonet says that you can get these
3:53green and green and white bolards. And
3:55if you're doing a 50/50 between the UK
3:57and Ireland, and in all fairness, I'm
3:59from the UK and I often get the two
4:01mixed up if we're on rural roads. The
4:03green bolards here that you can see
4:04here, they might be helpful. But yeah,
4:06I've not seen them too much in my
4:07limited play time on Geogessa.
4:10Andura, Spain, Portugal. Andura, you
4:12might think I don't really care. Andura
4:13is not going to pop up very often. It
4:14actually does pop up quite a lot as a
4:16country on Geogessa for me. So what
4:18you've got is this kind of wedge-shaped
4:19bolard here and it has an orange
4:21reflector and it's mainly seen when
4:23you're on kind of big highway. So if
4:24you're on a big highway that looks a bit
4:26like Spain and you see this bolard, it
4:28could also be Spain, but at least guess
4:30towards Andura. So at least go up to the
4:32the northern part of Spain and by all
4:34means obviously plunk a plunk a guess in
4:36and Pandora as well. But the bulard
4:38you'll see for most of Spain is this one
4:41here where you have a yellow reflector.
4:42And there aren't too many bolards in
4:44Europe with that yellow reflector. There
4:46are some so don't automatically go Spain
4:48but again it's kind of wedge shaped.
4:50It's got this yellow sometimes a little
4:52bit orange but mainly yellow reflector
4:53and then the two dots on the back as
4:56well. And you can also see Plonket says
4:57it is often hollow. You might not be
4:59able to see quite here, but if you can
5:01get very close to it, the inside of it
5:03is almost hollow. So, most of them are
5:05kind of filled out wedge shape. This has
5:06a bit of space inside it. Hopefully,
5:09you're following so far. Portugal. I do
5:12often miss Portugal in all fairness
5:13because again, it's another wedge-shaped
5:14bolard. And you'll see a lot of these
5:15bolards do look very similar. The best
5:18way for me to know it's Portugal in the
5:19times that I've caught it is when it's a
5:21very thin bit of white at the top. We're
5:23going to discuss some bolards later that
5:25don't have any white at the top, but
5:27most of the ones that do, you can see
5:28here in the Spanish bolard, for example,
5:30there's quite a lot of white at the top.
5:31This is just a very thin strip. Then
5:34you've got the reflector. The reflectors
5:36can also be orange. So this is where
5:38Andura, Spain, Portugal, we're looking
5:40at very small differences here. But if
5:42you see a reflector which looks Spanish
5:44but is quite orange rather than yellow,
5:47you might be looking at Portugal
5:48instead. I do sometimes confuse these,
5:50but I guess if you know that it's
5:51Andura, Spain, or Portugal, you're not
5:53going to be too far away, so I wouldn't
5:54stress too much. Cool. Moving on to then
5:57France, Switzerland, Likenstein. Again,
5:59I'm going to try and point out to you
6:01the ones that are most helpful. And here
6:03right now, after the Icelandic one, I
6:06would say the French bolard is in the
6:08top five most useful bolards in the
6:09entirety of Geogen, not just in Europe.
6:12It comes up so often. Almost any rural
6:15French round, you will see this bolard,
6:16or at least it feels that way. And there
6:18are two different types, but as you can
6:20see, remember I spoke about that
6:21Scottish bolard where it was quite
6:22rounded. This is very much like a pencil
6:24shape. It's got much more of a tip to
6:26the bolard. And most of the ones that
6:28you see, this kind of red wrap around
6:30horizontal thick Yeah. like line that
6:32wraps around it. But I kept missing this
6:35bolard at first cuz I was looking for
6:36the red and it can be gray. So as long
6:39as you see this general shape quite
6:41thick with a pointed top, it doesn't
6:43matter it's red. It doesn't matter if
6:44it's gray. You can see both. Plonkit
6:47does say that there are some variations
6:48that have a fully red top. I've not seen
6:50them too often, but yeah, this for me,
6:52I'm going to try and point out the ones
6:53because you're not going to remember all
6:54of these if you're just starting, but
6:55the Icelandic yellow, the French bolard,
6:58they're really good to get. Switzerland
7:00and Likenstein actually have an almost
7:01identical bolard, which is the one on
7:03the right of the Switzerland picture
7:04here, which is rounded at the top, and
7:06it's just kind of like quite thick and
7:08round. I mean, it sounds so sus when
7:09we're discussing bolards. It's got the
7:11two dots on the back and then a
7:13reflector. I can't distinguish the
7:14difference between them. So if you're a
7:16bit unsure if it's Switzerland or
7:17Likenstein based on the surroundings,
7:19maybe just guess towards Likenstein in
7:22Switzerland, but they both come up.
7:23Again, I've been making mistakes though
7:25in the past. I'm just looking for this
7:27bard. Switzerland also do quite often
7:29have that wedge bolard as well, which
7:32again is that sort of very standard
7:33European shape. So don't only expect the
7:37rounded version. Okay, we're making good
7:39progress. Then Denmark, Belgium,
7:41Netherlands. Denmark is another and
7:44along with Belgium as well country that
7:46has a yellow reflector on it or at least
7:49a they call it yeah yeah it is a yellow
7:51reflector and a dark orange strip. So
7:52the Danish one is this kind of wedge
7:54shape again the rate the way that you
7:56can tell it's Denmark is not only does
7:58it have this yellow reflector but it
7:59will usually is it always I feel like
8:02I've seen it quite often not maybe not
8:03it has this orange strip at the top as
8:05well. It says you can also find this
8:07green variant, but I can't click on
8:09that. But yeah, if you see this yellow
8:10reflector here and you see a orange or
8:13dark orange strip along the top, you're
8:15in Denmark. Again, this does pop up
8:17quite often. The Belgian bolard, I think
8:20they've got yeah, three types here. So,
8:22Belgium uses white bolards with a yellow
8:24rectangular reflector. I don't feel like
8:26I've seen that too often with a white on
8:28the back. So, you can see here these two
8:29here, yellow on the front, white on the
8:31back. Looks a little bit shorter. I
8:33guess the reflector doesn't look quite
8:34as big. And they say that there is a
8:36second type of bolard which again I've
8:37not seen too often with dark brown and
8:40two red strips on the top. I feel like
8:43with Belgium there are a lot of other
8:44clues that you can go for potentially
8:45which we won't dive into here. But yeah,
8:47hope that helps. Belgium and Denmark you
8:49can see yellow reflectors as well. And
8:51then the Netherlands have quite a
8:54distinctive bolard. However, I have
8:56confused this with other ones such as
8:58Turkey and Romania which you'll
8:59understand later why. But it's just a
9:01simple white bolard with a red
9:03reflector. It is so basic. So sometimes
9:05if you're like actually this could be
9:06Netherlands or Belgium maybe you're
9:08confusing the two of them. If you can
9:09come across a bolard they are obviously
9:11extremely different bards between the
9:12two countries.
9:15Poland Poland I will put in I'm going to
9:17try and name five of the best and I
9:19would say Poland for me along with the
9:20Icelandard and the French bard is the
9:22most useful for me. The Polish bolard is
9:25just really distinctive. It is again
9:27usually I think maybe always
9:29wedge-shaped. So, not like the French
9:30shape, but kind of this wedge-shaped
9:32bolar. And the red wraps all the way
9:34around. Normally at this kind of
9:36diagonal angle, as you can see here, it
9:38has a red reflector on the front, which
9:40you usually can't see unless it's
9:42perfect quality, maybe like Gem 4. But
9:43you can see here, you can see a
9:44reflector on the front and then on the
9:46back, it's got the white reflector. And
9:48also, bolards often have the numbers on
9:51it. So, immediately, even if you don't
9:52see a number and you just see this red
9:54wrap around that di that diagonal on a
9:56wedge-shaped bolard, then you're in
9:58Poland. But especially if you start
10:00seeing these numbers as well. I don't
10:01actually know what the numbers mean by
10:02the way. Let me know if you know down
10:03below. But then you are in Poland. So
10:05this for me is an absolute banker.
10:07Again, it's one of the ways that I know
10:08that I'm in Poland. I've had this once
10:11and I was so confused that I had to
10:13Google it. There is an oblast in
10:15Ukraine, which is the sort of regions in
10:17Ukraine that has the Polish bolar. I'll
10:20try to point that out later when we play
10:21geoger. But yeah, there is a part of
10:23Ukraine, but I would for the large part
10:25just if you see that you send Poland.
10:27Hopefully you're following so far.
10:30Germany and Luxembourg. These are very
10:32well known in the geogesser community.
10:33So they are basically identical bolard.
10:37You can see again this wedge shape here
10:38with the black wrap around this kind of
10:39the standard European looking bolard.
10:42The way that you would distinguish
10:43between them this reflector on the front
10:47of the bolard you can see that well you
10:49can't actually see on the German one but
10:51in Germany it will have two bolts on it.
10:53On Luxembourg hopefully you can see here
10:55but it's got three bolts. you will often
10:58genuinely this this has worked for me on
10:59maybe I don't know probably 10 plus
11:01rounds if you are choosing between the
11:03two and they can look quite similar
11:05especially in rural areas if it's got
11:07two bolts it's Germany if it's got three
11:09bolts it's Luxembourg and it works well
11:10what it has for me at least every single
11:12time obviously if you can't see the
11:15reflector then you're not going to know
11:16if you just see the two dots then you've
11:18not got nothing to go off but if you can
11:19see the reflector that is an extremely
11:20useful one as well
11:23okay I would probably put this one I'm
11:26going to put Czecha and Slovakia. I know
11:27they're two countries, but I would say
11:28that this bolard is maybe the fourth
11:30also very important one because it again
11:33is so distinctive. It's the two double
11:35reflectors at that sort of diagonal
11:37angle. So you can see here on Czecha and
11:39Slovakia, they are basically identical.
11:41So you can't narrow it down, I don't
11:43think anyway, to which one of the two it
11:45is, but as soon as you see see the two
11:48double reflectors, you know that you're
11:49going to be in Czecha or Slovakia. And
11:51obviously they are right next to each
11:52other. So that's an extremely useful one
11:54to learn as well. in Hungary. Hungary
11:57again kind of have the standard wedge
11:58shaped bolard. They'll typically have a
12:00red reflector on the front and it's
12:02quite bright red as well usually. I
12:03believe we're going to get on to Croatia
12:05later, but something to note on the
12:07Hungarian bolard is that you do have
12:09quite a lot of white space at the top
12:11whereas there are quite a few other ones
12:12where there's a little bit less space.
12:14So, this wedge-shaped one can be in
12:17Hungary. Cool. Hopefully, I've not
12:19misspoken on anything too much. Again,
12:20if you're a veteran or a pro and you
12:21think I have said anything that's
12:22incorrect, let me know down below. And
12:24again, massive shout out to Plonkit for
12:25these amazing tools. So, Greece. Greece
12:29I have got confused quite often with
12:31others. There's two things to note in
12:33Greece. A lot of the Greek bolards have
12:35just been beat up. [laughter] The amount
12:36of rounds I've had where like the top of
12:38the Greek bolard has been missing. So,
12:40just be careful that it might look like
12:42there's no white at the top bit. It
12:43might have just been a bit beat up. But
12:45the best way to tell the Greek bolard
12:47again wedge shaped, but the reflector is
12:49basically square. There aren't many
12:51countries where you get a square
12:53reflector. You can see the Albanian
12:54Italian ones below. Most of the
12:56reflectors are kind of like thin diag um
12:58thin rectangle whereas Greek is square.
13:00So that's quite a useful one as well.
13:02Especially if you are struggling like
13:04between I don't know Greece and Italy.
13:05If you've got a bolard they're extremely
13:07different to look at. We're now going to
13:09move on to some of the bolards that have
13:11a black top to them. These are I think
13:14there's probably seven or eight
13:16countries you could be where the top of
13:19the bolard is red and they sorry the top
13:21of the bolard is black with no white on
13:23top of it and that's incredibly useful
13:25to at least narrow down your options.
13:27The Albanian and Italian bolards are
13:30identical. So, if you are really
13:32struggling, you I've got nothing to go
13:33off, but you see this bolard with the
13:36black top, the wedge-shaped bolard, and
13:38then the thin black red reflector on one
13:40side and then the sort of white
13:41reflector on the other side or gray. You
13:43know you're in Italy or Albania. What
13:45you can do is just hedge in southern
13:46Italy. I've done that a couple of times
13:48where it's the closest point between
13:51Italy and Albania. Obviously, if you're
13:52in northern Italy or something like
13:54that, then you might be quite far away,
13:55but normally there's a bit of landscape
13:57or something else to help you out there.
13:59This is another good one to know. So the
14:01first two countries with black tops to
14:03their reflectors is Albania and Italy.
14:06We then move on to three other
14:07countries, but as you can see by these
14:09three here, it is quite a distinctive
14:11difference because the black tip isn't
14:13or the black top of the the bolard isn't
14:15as much and also the reflector isn't
14:18inside the bolard. So on Albania and
14:19Italy, the reflector is inside it
14:21whereas on these three the reflector is
14:23outside. So Austria, Montenegro, and
14:26Slovenia can all have that black tip to
14:28the bolard, but the reflector will be
14:30below it. The only way that I've been
14:32able to tell the difference between
14:33these here is this Austrian one is
14:34normally quite dark red. So if you see a
14:37bolard with a black top to it that isn't
14:39quite bright, and you think actually
14:40that looks like really dark, almost at
14:42some point it's like purple or brown,
14:43then you're probably going to be in
14:44Austria. And again, there are other
14:46things that you can look at in the sort
14:48of terrain and environment architecture
14:50that might help you. And then Montenegro
14:53and Slovenia. I would probably get these
14:54mixed up quite a lot. It says here, does
14:57it say how you can tell the difference?
14:59Maybe in Slovenia it's really bright.
15:01Yeah, it sounds like and it looks like
15:02here I guess that the the Slovenian one
15:05is quite bright. But again, Montenegro
15:07and Slovenia, you might be able to tell
15:08the difference between them based on
15:09some other stuff as well. But these are
15:11three other countries that you can see
15:14the black top to the bolard. Cool. North
15:18Macedonia, they use two types of bolard.
15:21Very rarely you'll get this in Geoga
15:23anyway. I've probably only had North
15:24Macedonia like three times in total. But
15:26you can see here you've got two
15:27different types of bolards. I'm not
15:28going to go into them too much cuz I'm
15:30not using them too often, but I think
15:32they're very similar basically to the
15:33Croatian bolard. Remember I said on the
15:36Hungarian one there's a lot more white
15:38at the top. That's the only way really
15:40other than other stuff in the round that
15:43you can tell the difference between
15:44Croatia and Hungary. And also Lithuania
15:48as well has a very similar bolard as
15:49we'll see. But yeah, there's less white
15:51at the top of the Croatian bolard. And
15:53again, Croatia does normally look a
15:55little bit different to Hungary. Serbia
15:58has two different types of bolard.
15:59Serbia can have a bolard that's very
16:01similar actually to the Austrian,
16:03Montenegron, and Slovenian bolards we
16:05saw where it's got a black top and a red
16:07reflector underneath. But you can also
16:09see another type of bolard as well where
16:12it's got kind of an offcenter reflector.
16:14There are a few countries actually that
16:16pop up with an offcenter reflector, but
16:19yes, Serbia is one of them as well. By
16:21the way, later on when we play Geogessa,
16:23hopefully some of this will start to
16:24sink in, but you can watch this back a
16:26couple of times if you need to. And like
16:27I said, I'll link the presentation down
16:29below.
16:30Moving on then to Romania, Turkey, and
16:32Bulgaria. Romania and Turkey have very,
16:35very similar bolards. I don't actually
16:37know how to tell the difference. I see
16:38here Romanian bolards are thin and white
16:39with a red vertical strip near the top.
16:42Again, I think when you turn them
16:44sideways, maybe that's the Romanian
16:46ones, actually. Yeah, I think they're
16:47both quite thin. Like if you see the
16:49Turkish or Romanian bolards side on,
16:52they're very thin. And I think the
16:53Turkish one, yeah, in particular, is
16:55very, very thin side on.
16:58Okay, that would help. So, it says here
16:59on Plonit that the Romanian bolards are
17:02relatively rare. So, I guess if you see
17:03a bolard that looks like this, and don't
17:06confuse it with the Dutch bolard, by the
17:08way, it's got a thinner red reflector, I
17:09believe, is the difference. then maybe
17:11to go Turkey because it sounds like
17:12bolards are quare in Romania. That's a
17:14good thing to know. In Bulgaria, it also
17:17said bolards are quite rare in Bulgaria
17:19as well, but you've got this kind of
17:20thin again bolard with a black strip
17:23around it and a red reflector that goes
17:24sort of top to bottom of the black
17:26strip. So, Bulgaria and Romania. Maybe
17:29if you see bolards, this isn't the best
17:31rule of thumb necessarily, but maybe you
17:32look to guess at some other countries.
17:35Cool. In terms of the Nordics, these are
17:38actually really useful and something
17:39which I hadn't learned until recently
17:40and I still need to try and ingrain in
17:42my mind because there are other stuff
17:44you can look at like center lines, the
17:46dash lines on the outside, the general
17:48scenery, snow poles, but sometimes it
17:50can be difficult to discern between
17:52them. So Norway uses this thin curved
17:54rectangular bolard with a reflector
17:56inside of a black parallelogram. I mean
17:59that is a posh sentence there, but you
18:01can see here this is the black
18:02parallelogram and the reflector is
18:04inside of it. Again, hopefully we get a
18:06couple of Norwegian bolards later that
18:08we can look at. Sweden bolards are black
18:10and white again, typically with a gray
18:12reflector. Reflectors by intersections
18:13can be orange. So maybe if you see an
18:15orange inter reflect near an insection,
18:17go Sweden. And they can be either wedge-
18:20shaped or thin [music] and curved. I
18:23often get these confused with the
18:24Estonian bolards. I'll probably do that
18:27today. For me, the Finnish, Swedish, and
18:29Estonian bolards, these round ones, they
18:31all look quite similar. Finland has long
18:34black and white bars with a rectangular
18:36white reflector on the front and two
18:37dots on the back. They can either be
18:39round or thin and curved. You can
18:40actually see it here on the bottom left.
18:42This kind of thin curved shape to it.
18:45These are some of, at least for me, you
18:47might find it easy, but these are some
18:48of for me the most difficult to try and
18:50tell the difference between, but again,
18:52normally you might have some other clues
18:53as well. Moving on then to the the
18:56Baltics, we have Estonia, Latia, and
18:57Lithuania. This is one of the better
19:00ways to actually tell the difference
19:01between them cuz the bolards usually are
19:03quite different. So Estonian bolards are
19:06round and baton like shaped. So they're
19:09kind of like a a tube. I remember I
19:10watched a zigzag video with Jackary was
19:12talking about the best way to remember
19:13this is that there is an O in Estonia
19:16and the Estonian bolard is like a tube.
19:19Again that might not help you massively
19:20but it has helped me on a couple of
19:22occasions. The Latvian one is thin has
19:25that slightly curved shape as well.
19:27We'll have the reflector on the front
19:28and then the two orange dots on the
19:30back. But I think the only real
19:31difference then between the two is the
19:33actual shape of the bolard. So hopefully
19:35you can get a bit of an idea when you
19:36look at that. The Lithuanian bolard is
19:39very different to the Estonian and
19:41Latian though. The Estonian Latian ones
19:42you can get confused quite a lot. The
19:44Lithuanian one stands out. It's wedge
19:46shaped almost looks a bit like the
19:48Hungarian bolard with an orange
19:50reflector. That's probably the easiest
19:52way that you would tell the difference.
19:54Cool. That's the Baltics. And then just
19:56to finish up on this section before we
19:57then move on to actually playing some
19:59geogesser. I couldn't find anything in
20:01the plon kit guide on Ukrainian bolards.
20:03So I got this from another site. I can't
20:05remember. You don't see Ukrainian
20:07bolards that often, but when you do it's
20:08kind of a very standard wedge shape. You
20:11can see here they say very similar to
20:12those in or at least it has a wider
20:14rectangle than those in Hungary,
20:15Bulgaria, Croatia, and North Macedonia.
20:18But it's a very similar one. Like unless
20:19you are right up close and you've
20:20absolutely nailed the bolard, it will
20:22look very similar. But if you see
20:24cirillic or if you see a general
20:25environment which fits Ukraine then that
20:27could help. And then just finishing with
20:29Russia we have if I haven't already said
20:32the fifth most helpful one is actually
20:34not the bolard necessarily but the
20:36bolard spam. If you are in an area which
20:39looks like it could be Russia and near
20:41an intersection you just see an obscene
20:44number of bolards you're in Russia. And
20:47this is almost always accurate. The
20:49amount of times this has bailed me out
20:50when I don't know where I am and I just
20:52look to the side and there are tons of
20:53bolards. You're probably in Russia. You
20:55can see here on this bottom image, they
20:56just put loads of them there. In terms
20:58of the actual bolards that you see,
20:59there are three different types here. I
21:01believe this one on the left is seen
21:02more in like Siberia, Eastern Russia. So
21:04if you see the you can see this stick
21:06here. It's a wedge-shaped one, but it's
21:08attached to a really thin stick. If you
21:10see that, you would opt towards Eastern
21:12Russia. Again though, with Russia, it's
21:14less about bolard for me. It's just more
21:15about like you get a general vibe that
21:17you're in Russia normally. And I am very
21:18bad at region guessing in Russia. So
21:21there we go. I think I've got most of
21:23the European countries. I know I missed
21:24a few off there. Malta, Cyprus, Andor,
21:27places like that, but not Andor. Uh
21:29Monaco, San Marino, Vatican, but I think
21:32for the most part, that's the main
21:33countries with the bolards. I'll link
21:36this presentation down below. Check out
21:37Plonit if you want to look into a
21:39specific country in particular. Let's
21:41now go over to Geogesser, play a few
21:42games, and show you what this looks like
21:44in action. So guys, we're jumping over
21:45to Geogesser to basically play a few
21:47rounds now. We'll just play for kind of
21:4920, maybe 30 minutes or so and just try
21:51and ingrain in our minds those bolards.
21:54I am not perfect by any means. In fact,
21:55about a week ago was pretty terrible,
21:57but hopefully me making that
21:59presentation also going through it
22:01there. Hopefully I've started to improve
22:02and we'll get a decent amount. A massive
22:04bit of advice I have to you is to make
22:06the most of a learnable meta. So this is
22:09basically like a script extension plugin
22:11that you can download. I'll link it down
22:13below. You download it and when you play
22:15any map that says like a learnable meta,
22:18it pops up after each round with a
22:20little box which tells you what you
22:22should have been looking out for, the
22:23meta that was there. And this map
22:25actually here is a learnable meta Europe
22:28bolards. So we are going to every single
22:30time spawn in front of a bolard and
22:32after I've either got it right or wrong,
22:34it will pop up telling us exactly what
22:36we just learned from Plonit as well. So
22:38hopefully this will go quite well and
22:39again I'll link it down below. Yeah, if
22:41you type in just a learnable anything,
22:43you can see that there are loads of
22:45different variations, but this is the
22:46one we're going to do today. Of course,
22:48we're going to be using no move because
22:49we shouldn't be looking around. We just
22:50want to look at the bolards. And I'm not
22:52going to set a time limit because I just
22:54want to play geography help you out. So,
22:58oh no.
23:01Okay. So, okay, we can see it there. I
23:03was going to say I think this is the
23:04Turkish bolard. I know at first you
23:06can't really see anything, but it's
23:07quite thin. And you can see that's the
23:09back of it, but you can actually see the
23:11red here. Now, could that be a Romanian
23:14bologage? Yeah. But I look around and
23:17this certainly looks more like Turkey in
23:20terms of wearing. I guess it doesn't
23:21matter where in Turkey, but I'll go
23:23somewhere that's not green. Okay. It
23:25wasn't the best region guessing in
23:27Turkey. Yes, it was indeed. And you can
23:29see this is what happens when you play
23:30these learnable meta worlds. It's so
23:32incredibly useful. it will pop up like
23:34this with with the meta. So again, we
23:37got the first one, right? That's what we
23:38love to see. Okay, immediately I'll zoom
23:41in on it. I'll give you a chance. I
23:42won't say straight away. I think that
23:45should be the Spanish bolard. We've got
23:47the yellow reflector. You can again see
23:49just in the top there, we've got the
23:50hollow center, the two lines in the
23:52back. You see often in Portugal and in
23:54Spain, maybe some other countries as
23:56well, but you can see it's attached to
23:58the guard rail as well. You see that
23:59quite a lot. And I mean also you
24:02shouldn't just look at the bolard. Have
24:03a look around. It kind of feels pretty
24:04Spanish. So where are we going to guess?
24:07I'll go in and around like Madrid way.
24:08We'll go over here. Okay. A terrible
24:10region guess once again. And as and as
24:13they said on the plonet guide, if it was
24:15the different bolard, you might guess
24:17towards Andura. Perfect. The first few
24:20rounds I'll take quite slow and then
24:22maybe we'll go through a few quicker.
24:23See if we can just get them straight
24:24away.
24:26Is that
24:29is that the Romanian or the Netherlands
24:31one? I mean, let's have a look around.
24:33Yellow plate. So, we're in the
24:34Netherlands. Yellow plates. I think you
24:36can see in Netherlands, Belgium, maybe
24:38Denmark. I mean, this isn't this isn't a
24:40video about the number plates, but yeah,
24:42it fits. So, that's the the Netherlands,
24:44I believe. Right. Yeah. Can't be
24:46Belgium. So, we'll send in the
24:48Netherlands, and we'll just send up
24:49somewhere around here. Cool. We've not
24:52done very good region guessing, but that
24:53was in in fact the Dutch bolard. This is
24:56how you do it, by the way. It's just
24:57like recognition, uh, like repetition, I
24:59should say. Right, I'll zoom in on that
25:00one. I'll give you a second. We said
25:02there was two things here. So, this is
25:04the Polish bolard. You can see the red
25:06wrapping around it. The six, the numbers
25:08as well. I It always seems to be the
25:11number six. I'm sure it isn't, but yeah,
25:12you can see the number there, the red
25:13wrap around. Is there any way that this
25:16is that random Ukrainian oblast? I bet
25:20it is. Now I'm going to obviously send
25:21in Poland. If it is the Ukrainian one,
25:23then it will be a good point. Okay, now
25:25it was. Okay, that was a better region
25:26guess as well. So that was the Polish
25:28barab.
25:30Cool. I mean immediately. That looks
25:32like an English sign, doesn't it? What
25:34is this? Hello. What do we have here? Is
25:38that the Scottish bolard?
25:41Oh yeah, it is. Okay, you got two
25:43bolards here. This is fantastic. So I
25:45was going to say looks like the French
25:46one, right? If you just look at that,
25:48that could be the French one. especially
25:50that. But the top isn't that pencil
25:52shape. Remember we spoke about this.
25:53This is the Scottish bolard here with
25:55the rounded top. Gray on the back, red
25:57on the front. But then also that is the
25:59standard UK bolard. So we're going to
26:00send in Scotland the loft. I don't know
26:03where that is. We'll just send
26:06um we'll send over here. Okay. It was
26:10kind of not really. Okay, perfect.
26:1420,000 on our first attempt. That's not
26:15bad at all. We got all five. Did we?
26:18Yeah. All five. pretty spot on. I mean,
26:20a couple of better region guesses in in
26:22Turkey and Spain and we could have been
26:23on for a really nice score. Awesome.
26:25Let's go again. Right. Immediately zoom
26:28over here.
26:30So, I think that and it kind of fits the
26:34environment. I think that's the
26:35Lithuanian bolard. Remember, it kind of
26:37looks a bit like a lot of the other ones
26:39you find in Hungary, Croatia, Spain, but
26:42very notably orange. And I think the
26:44notably orange is probably Lith.
26:47[snorts] And it kind of again fits with
26:48the the general scenery, the road. I'm
26:51not confident on this one, but I'm going
26:53to send in Lithuania. And I'm just going
26:55to go on this road here.
26:58Wasn't that road, but it was very close.
26:5944 km. Okay, let's try and get a good
27:02score. Actually, we might be able to get
27:03into the top 25, but we absolutely like
27:05nail all five of the guesses. By the
27:07way, we've not missed a single country
27:09yet. That's six on the bounce, I think.
27:11Right. Again, Polish. I know this is
27:14going to be quite repetitive. Maybe we
27:15won't do quite as long as I said, but
27:17it's good. You got the red wrap around
27:18the numbers. Again, this could be the
27:20random place in Ukraine, but we look
27:22over here, you'd see more Sirillic
27:24around, I think. So, yeah, I'm feeling
27:26pretty good for Poland. And I'm going to
27:28send it down here this time. No, where
27:30am I going to send it? Let's try and
27:31actually have a good guess.
27:34H I don't know. I'm really bad at region
27:36guessing. Let's just send in by lots
27:38right in the middle. Okay, that wasn't a
27:40bad I tell you what, we are on for one
27:42here.
27:44Oh no. Right. Why am I looking around?
27:47That's the bolard.
27:51What bolard is that? Is that a weird
27:53variation of Do you reckon that could be
27:56H? Oh, I've probably forgotten a bolard
28:00here. What?
28:02You're shouting at me now. You're
28:03shouting at me saying Ross, this was
28:05meant to be a complete guide. You've got
28:07to know your bolards. I kind of want to
28:09bring up my presentation and look now,
28:10but I'm not going to. Is it? No, it
28:13doesn't look Serbian, does it? It says
28:15it's Serbia.
28:17There were a few countries that had
28:18various ones
28:21or is this just
28:25I'm I'm going to look. Oh, is there
28:34S? There's Cirrillic there.
28:37Or is that the Bulgarian? No, no, I'm
28:39going to go I'm going to go Serbia.
28:44Oh, it was North Macedonia. You know the
28:47one where I said there's no need to
28:48learn that. It doesn't come up too
28:49often. Okay, the North Macedonian one.
28:51It's this one on the left.
28:53In all fairness, I hadn't really
28:55committed that to me. I'm going to
28:56commit that to memory. Round with the
28:58black bit in the middle and then the red
29:00reflector in it. Okay. North Macedonia.
29:02We were in the general right vibe
29:03though. We saw the uh the cirillic which
29:05helps. Cool. Awesome. Not too bad. Bit
29:08sad to lose the streak, but it is what
29:10it is.
29:16So, it was it was going so well. We've
29:19got the the bolard with black at the top
29:23and then an orange kind of almost square
29:26reflector in it.
29:30H I'm looking around for some other
29:32clues cuz I don't know. Black at the
29:34top. So, Albania, but it's not the
29:37Albanian one cuz the Albanian and
29:39Italian ones look the same. We then had
29:44not the Albanian one. Other ones uh with
29:47black at the top would be I don't know
29:50with a h
29:53I've forgotten my I've forgotten my
29:55complete guide already, guys. We're
29:57falling apart here. I look around.
30:01Do you reckon like Balkans again?
30:04black top to it. It's probably like one
30:07of these. Do you reckon that is the
30:08Serbian one? Or is that Slovenia?
30:12No. No, it's not Slovenia. I reckon we
30:14might be in I'm going to go Serbia
30:15again. Back toback Serbia guesses.
30:18Italian bolard.
30:20It It for sure didn't look like the
30:22Italian bolard, did it? The reflector
30:24looked insane there. Maybe on this part
30:26of Italy.
30:29H
30:30interesting.
30:32I ruled out Italy pretty quick in all
30:35fairness.
30:36Uh oh.
30:38Oh, guys, we're falling apart. We We
30:40were just on it. We were just slamming
30:42back guesses here. Okay, this bolard
30:45here, I'll tell you what bolard it could
30:47be. In my mind, this could be the
30:49Nordics or the Baltics. In fact, it
30:51probably is. Right. This is probably
30:55the thin I reckon Latia.
30:58So I think this is the one that looks
31:00like Latapia and Estonia and also a bit
31:02like Sweden and Finland. But it's not
31:04like I think you can see it's almost
31:06like rounded and thin whereas the
31:07Estonian one is more like a tube. I'm
31:10just chatting nonsense at this stage I
31:12think. Aren't I? Is this Latvia? Do you
31:14know what? Confident it was Latvia. It
31:16was Latvia. Go on. Let's do this.
31:18[laughter] We're learning the Bards.
31:19That wasn't too bad. It was still 191,
31:21but it started incredibly well. Those
31:23first couple of guesses were spot on.
31:25So, the only real terrible guess there
31:27was Serbia when it was actually Italy.
31:30In all fairness, it didn't look like
31:31Serbia much. I just didn't think that
31:33looked like the um the Italian B. Okay,
31:36here we go. So, you look at the scenery
31:39and you think, you know, you're in
31:41Pharaoh Islands or Iceland and it's the
31:43wooden one, which I've not actually seen
31:45out in the wild. I believe this is the
31:49Pharaoh Pharaoh Islands.
31:53Or is it? Or is this the Icelandic one?
31:55[gasps] Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear. I
31:59can't tell actually.
32:02I need to look get better at like
32:03understanding the scenery of Pharaoh
32:05Islands in Iceland in all fairness. But
32:06um
32:08it's probably the Icelandic one.
32:09Actually, that's Iceland. I think we'll
32:12just send it. It might not be it was
32:14Pharaoh Islands for goodness sake. Trust
32:17yourself, Ross. Uh, fair islands bas are
32:20small wooden sticks that are mainly
32:21painted yellow and sometimes red on top.
32:22Okay, it they looked wooden. I don't
32:24know what I'm doing. Okay, we got the
32:25general vibe. I said these are the ones
32:27that you've got to learn and then I just
32:28don't learn them. Uh, UK UK bards.
32:32Where are we in the UK? Should we should
32:34we region guess? Oh, Brimfield. Know
32:37where Brimfield is? Upton. Middleton on
32:40the hill. Oh, we're somewhere down here.
32:42Doesn't really matter, does it?
32:46We're [laughter]
32:47anywhere near there.
32:49Goodness me, we're falling apart. Um,
32:52okay. Is this the exact round that we
32:54had before?
32:55Is this Is this a repeat? Is this the
32:57same Lithuania? Do you remember where we
32:59were in Lithuania? Was it somewhere over
33:01here? No, it wasn't. It was down there.
33:04Okay. Yeah, that was the Lithuanian
33:05bolard. Okay, that was a repeat.
33:09I mean, have we got another Scottish
33:11bolard? I'm sure the Scottish bolards
33:12don't pop up this much in actual
33:14geogesser. Yeah. I mean, we're driving
33:15on the left immediately. You know,
33:16you're not in France, then you're in
33:18you're in Scotland. I don't know where
33:20in Scotland. I'm going to go right near
33:22Find Scotland, Ross. I'm going to go
33:25right near
33:28I'm going to go here.
33:31Terrible guess,
33:33right? Oh,
33:37[laughter] is this the Turkish Romanian
33:39looking bard or is this the the
33:42Netherlands? [laughter]
33:44for goodness sake. Is the is the one
33:47like I said I I'm I'm so scarred from
33:49getting the this obviously isn't the
33:51Netherlands, right? Surely not. I'm so
33:53scarred. I guessed the Netherlands when
33:54it was a Turkish, but they looked a
33:56little bit similar. Okay. Uh could it be
33:57Romania?
34:00Could this be I don't really know what
34:02Romania looks like to be honest. I'll
34:04guess Turkey
34:06by Anara. It was Romania. Okay. Yeah, it
34:09says Turkey has a very similar bolard.
34:11I'm really not sure how you would
34:12discern unless you just know the
34:13landscapes really well. It looked more
34:14Turkey than me than it did Romania, but
34:16that's fine. There might have been a
34:17pole or something I could have used.
34:19That was a much that was a weak effort.
34:21That was the Iceland Pharaoh Islands one
34:23was terrible. What other ones didn't I
34:25like there? In fact,
34:28nah, I lied. That was the only bad one.
34:31But again, they're both yellow. We got
34:32the general vibe. Okay, this is a
34:34repeat. Where was it? [laughter]
34:36I think there are 400 locations in this,
34:38by the way. We shouldn't really get be
34:39getting repeats. Was it up? It was up um
34:42like somewhere around here, wasn't it? I
34:43should look the exact location.
34:46Okay. It wasn't anywhere where I
34:48thought. Nice.
34:51Okay.
34:56No, I know this. I know this. I know
34:59this from learning before. So, that is
35:00the Spanish bolard, right? Remember,
35:02with the yellow reflector. I'm sure the
35:05green bit is like region specific to
35:07somewhere down here. I remember doing
35:08this like um yeah, I'm sure so that is
35:13Yeah, that is the Spanish bolard and
35:15then I think the green bit I mean it
35:16will tell us in a second but I feel like
35:18it was specific to somewhere down here
35:24extra extra madiraa is that like this
35:27area here in the region of extra madiraa
35:30I should know where extra madiraa is
35:31really is it a very specific place or or
35:34is that like this anyway down there
35:36guess guess In western Spain, if you get
35:39the the green bit on top of the yellow
35:40blood. Goodness me, we're falling apart.
35:43Okay, we've got the black tip
35:46and uh
35:49I don't know what language there.
35:52Does that look very dark red? I mean,
35:55these Yeah, it looks dark red. So, is
35:57this Austria? Do you remember what I
36:00said that it could obviously be any of
36:01the countries with that bother, but if
36:02it's very dark, we go Austria,
36:06but not it's not very mountainous, I
36:07don't think. I mean, I can't really see.
36:09I'm saying it's not mountainous. I'm in
36:10the middle of a forest. Um,
36:14okay. It was Austria, just not not too
36:16close, but yeah, here we go. So, it's
36:19the same as Slovenia and Montenegro, but
36:21the reflector is darker. Nice. We carry
36:24on going.
36:25Okay, so this is the swi Switzerland and
36:28Likenstein bollard, right? I think it's
36:32this rounded one with the two dots on
36:34the back. Could I get anything which
36:36would help me whether it's Switzerland
36:38or Likensstein?
36:39Probably for most people. I feel like
36:41it's more Likensstein.
36:44Should we just send it in Likenstein? I
36:46don't get many actual rounds in there.
36:47Um, right here. Yeah, let's just send it
36:50in Likenstein. I mean, if it is, it's
36:52going to be on. Is there a McDonald's?
36:57[laughter]
36:58Just I'm I don't know. Oh, I thought I
37:01saw a flag. Ignore me. Um I mean, it's
37:04probably just Switzerland, isn't it?
37:06We're sending it. We've committed. We're
37:08sending it in Likenstein. It was just in
37:10Switzerland. Okay, there we go. But you
37:12know the bolard at least now. This has
37:14been a bit better. We could Okay, we're
37:16in the UK, right? Can we region guess?
37:18Is there a sign? Give me a sign that
37:19helps me. Biller Ricky. Bill Ricky.
37:23That's down in a saf.
37:26That's down. Biller Ricky.
37:29Biller Ricky is in Essex. I'm from Essex
37:32originally.
37:34It took me a while to get rid of my
37:35Essics accent though. Most people don't
37:36know I'm from Essex. Um, what am I
37:38doing?
37:40Where is Essex? Where is Bill Ricky?
37:44Biller Ricky is
37:46I mean, do I care that much? That's a
37:49good question. Biller Ricky. Okay. Where
37:51is Bill Ricky? Biller Ricky is to our
37:54southeast.
37:56And what is that there? Biller Ricky to
37:58our southeast. So, we want to Where's my
38:02Oh, no. I lost Bill Ricky. Oh, there.
38:04So, we want to go
38:07somewhere up here. What is the road
38:09direction? If you double click uh the
38:11letter N, by the way, if you're on no
38:13move, it will tell. I'm I mean, I'm not
38:14going to find this. We're at an
38:15intersection.
38:19Okay, we were 2 km away. We'll take
38:21that. That was a decent score. 22,600.
38:24How much do we need to get to be on this
38:26leaderboard for no move?
38:3023,400.
38:32Should we go a couple more rounds? See
38:33if we can get another good one. And
38:35again, it's just again, it's just like
38:37repeating. Repetition is half of gig
38:39guess in all honesty. We need to go in
38:40the top 25K there. Weren't far off.
38:42Okay, let's go again.
38:45Um,
38:47oh damn.
38:49Okay, so it's not Albania because it's
38:51bright. Is this Slovenia then or
38:53Montenegro?
38:55I think I get more of a Montenegro vibe.
38:57I think. Are they the two that it could
38:58be? So I think this here I mean I
39:01created a presentation on it. I should
39:02know. I think that's that is Austria
39:06Montenegro or Slovenia but
39:09landscape maybe more Montenegron. I
39:11don't really in in all fairness don't
39:13even know what Slovenia looks like.
39:16If this is I'm going to be very sad if
39:18it's Slovenia. I'll tell you that much
39:20for free.
39:25Right. We'll rattle through this cuz
39:26we're not going to do anything now. Um
39:28is that Turkey? Thimbolard. Can't see
39:31from the side. Could be Romania. Could
39:33be Turkey. We'll go Turkey.
39:36Spain in Aragon. It is sometimes common
39:39to see this bolard.
39:42What? Aragon?
39:47Since when? Do you know what? I should
39:50have ended it after what? [laughter]
39:54Are we in Iceland or Pharaoh Islands?
39:57No. I mean, it doesn't look like either.
39:59Where the hell are we? Oh, this is
40:02obviously Iceland, right? I swear to God
40:04if this is the Pharaoh Islands. I'm not
40:06playing games. I'm not playing games.
40:10Good. Iceland. We're in Iceland. Okay.
40:13We've lost our heads. We've lost our
40:15heads. Where's my bolard? You can't
40:17spawn me where there's not a bolard.
40:20Excuse me.
40:24[laughter]
40:25Hello.
40:27They're just trying to mess with me now.
40:29Where on earth are we?
40:32I'm not playing normal geogesser in
40:34this. This wasn't the point of the
40:35video. I'm not just playing geogesser
40:37for the fun of it. It's not what we're
40:38doing here. I don't know why. Why' I
40:41look at the sun? I know what hemisphere
40:43we're in. This is a European map. I
40:45mean, it's very pretty.
40:49Am I going blind? You're going to send
40:51say in the comments. Ross, it was in
40:53front of you. Where is said Bolard?
41:00Right. I don't know. Does it look Balkan
41:02somewhere down here?
41:09Madiraa. Right. That wasn't on my That
41:12wasn't on my um thing. Was [laughter]
41:15that wasn't in my presentation for
41:17goodness sake. We should have ended it
41:19when we were feeling good. Oh, there we
41:22go. The Czecha Slo Checkze Slovakia uh
41:25bolard. Okay, we got a 50/50. Based on
41:28how it's been going for the rest of this
41:30section, I'm going to get it wrong.
41:32We're going to go Slovakia.
41:34Oh, that was a good guess actually.
41:36Okay, remember the We've just absolutely
41:39lost our heads now, but the two red dots
41:41is going to be Czecha or Slovakia. That
41:44was terrible. Right, we want to end at
41:47least on a good one. It Oh god,
41:53is this going to be
41:55Is this Italy or Albania again? And I
41:58don't know the T. Oh god, we're falling
42:01apart. Could it be anything else? I
42:04thought the Italian and Albanian
42:06reflector wasn't a square.
42:08Can you not see two? The Italian and
42:10Albanian plates have blue at the end.
42:18Oh, wow.
42:20We probably are supposed to know what
42:22that is. [laughter]
42:25We should probably know what that is,
42:26shouldn't we? Do you reckon we're
42:28looking What are we looking at? We're
42:29looking northn northeast at a huge
42:33mountain
42:35in Albania. Are any of these like icy
42:38looking mountains?
42:42Do you reckon we're like here?
42:47We're on a road that's going east.
42:50We're probably not even in this country.
42:52I don't know why I'm spending so long
42:53looking at this.
42:57>> [laughter]
42:57>> The Greek Oh, it is the Greek bolard cuz
42:59it's square. We're falling apart. Okay,
43:01Greek bolard is like that. Oh my god. Of
43:06course, it's not Albania or Italy. It's
43:07not. Okay, I've lost my mind. It
43:09wouldn't have had white at the top.
43:10Okay, we need to focus up here. The
43:12wouldn't have had the white at the top.
43:14It would have been all the way back to
43:15the We've just lost our minds. It's
43:16gone. Absolute head loss. Absolute head
43:20loss. We've just had this exact round.
43:21Where was it?
43:25Someone here.
43:28Okay, good. [laughter]
43:31We're completely Oh. Oh. Oh my god. I
43:34said I need to remember it. North
43:35Macedonia. Is that the North Macedonian
43:37one or is that the Serbian one? Oh, it's
43:40just all going terribly now.
43:44Is that Serbia or North Macedonia?
43:49H say North Macedonia? It's the North M.
43:52Of course it is. It's the North
43:53Macedonian one, you know. It's that road
43:55there.
43:57Wasn't bad. Wasn't bad. I want to do
43:59another one after this. You probably No
44:01one's probably even watching at this
44:02stage. That is a classic Estonia, I
44:05think. Got the two yellow dots on the
44:06back, but it doesn't look thin, right?
44:10That looks like a proper tube. Looks
44:12tubular, cylindrical.
44:16We're going to send it. We're going
44:18southwest in Estonia. A road going
44:21southwest. Do we have any hills or
44:23anything?
44:24Now quite a big road going southwest.
44:29We're driving on the right. So it's like
44:31Oh god. Do you know what? I'm just going
44:32to It's just It's this road here. Here
44:33we go.
44:35[laughter]
44:37It was It was actually that road. Wow.
44:41Check us out. I mean, we were not on the
44:43right bit of the road. That's funny.
44:45Oh, goodness me. This could have gone so
44:47Oh. Oh, Bill Ricky. [laughter]
44:51We're getting repeats. Uh, the point of
44:53the video isn't to get repeats, but it's
44:54the UK. Okay, Bill Ricky. Where was it?
44:57It was here. It was here. I didn't I
44:59didn't look where we were. We were 2 km
45:02away. I think I guessed
45:06I can't remember where I guessed last
45:07time.
45:09Oh, I don't know. We're 8 km away now.
45:12We got so much worse. Oh, that was okay.
45:16H I'm going to send one more. I'm going
45:18to do it quick, though. Hopefully, we
45:19just get all repeats and I just smash
45:21it.
45:26Is that orange? Is that the Lith one? I
45:28can't really tell. Does look very
45:31orange. Does this look like Lithuania?
45:34Could be for sure. Can we just send it
45:37in Lith?
45:39It's this road here. Classic. You know,
45:42it wasn't far away. Okay, we're I'm I'm
45:44feeling good. I'm
46:04I don't know. [laughter]
46:06Is this the Is this the the Romanian
46:09one?
46:11This is going to be some sort of random
46:13country that I didn't even include and
46:15like random bolard. Is this the Dutch
46:18one or is this the I should just look
46:20around. Doesn't look like any of the
46:22above. It could be the Netherlands.
46:24Could it also be Romania or Turkey?
46:26Yeah, sure. I don't know. Haven't
46:28visited enough of Europe clearly.
46:31Ah, this is a classic Romanian forest.
46:33Yeah, you know the classic Romanian
46:35forest you get. Oh, it's this one here.
46:37Yeah, it's that one. Uh, no, that's too
46:39many. Yeah, it's that Romanian forest
46:40there.
46:42Belgium. Oh, wait. What?
46:50Wait, what?
46:55That's yellow.
46:58It is kind [laughter]
47:02I mean, now you mention it. Now you
47:04mention it, it is kind of It is kind of
47:06yellow. Yeah. Okay, fair. We shouldn't
47:10have done the extra game. We shouldn't
47:11have done the extra game. We've fallen
47:12apart. That's the Turkish one or the
47:14Romanian one. And this is a classic.
47:16Yeah. Sending it straight in Anara, you
47:18know. Bang. That road there. God, it's
47:22the opposite side of Turkey.
47:25Oh, this is this is Albania.
47:30This is Yeah. It's classic Albania, you
47:32know. It's um it's this this road in
47:34Albania. Yeah. Shot this one. Yeah. Just
47:37here.
47:40Goodness me. Hopefully this help video
