A group of popular YouTubers who have a combined total of over 130 million subscribers shot one of their most recent videos in Buckinghamshire.
The Sidemen, who consist of Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji, Simon ‘Miniminter’ Minter, Josh ‘Zerkaa’ Bradley, Tobi ‘Tobjizzle’ Brown, Ethan ‘Behzinga’ Payne, Vik ‘Vikkstar123’ Barn, and Harry ‘Wroetoshaw‘ Lewis, recorded parts of their ‘Abandoned Challenge’ video near Denham, with two members of the group nearly using the area as a main part of their content.
Josh 'Zerkaa' Bradley, one-seventh of the Sidemen, organised the challenge
The concept of the video saw the group start off in London before Bradley [Zerkaa], told the rest of the Sidemen that they would be split into three groups of two.

The video was partly shot near Denham (Please note that there is strong language in the video)
The groups, which were made up of Olatunji [KSI] and Barn [Vikkstar123], Minter [Miniminter] and Lewis [Wroetoshaw], and Brown [Tobjizzle] and [Behzinga], each went into a blacked-out car that was driven to a random part of the country.

Once arriving at the unknown destination, the three groups were not allowed to use their phones in working out where they were, or ask any member of the public to use their own phone, in finding out their location.

Each YouTuber were also given a list of tasks to complete whilst working out where they had been dropped off.

The winning group was the first to get back to London, whilst completing all of the tasks on the list that they were given.

On their list, the group had to tick off tasks such as having a drink in a pub but they could not ask the barperson or punters where they were, buy an apple from a Sainsbury’s, eat some McNuggets from McDonald’s, buy and wear a new outfit each, use five different methods of transport, find something that is orange and film it (no food or drink), buy a birthday cake, make a Tik Tok video on a fan’s account, and find someone or something that has the same name of one of the Sidemen.

In the video, which is on for nearly two hours, the group that were spotted and trekked on the Buckinghamshire/London Borough of Hillingdon border, were Brown [Tobjizzle] and Payne [Behzinga].

The two were dropped off at the Coy Carp Pub in Harefield, whilst Olatunji and Barn arrived at the Cock Inn in Bishop's Stortford, with Minter and Lewis arriving at the Merry Fiddlers in Epping.
In the 36th minute of the video, Zerkaa says: “Ethan and Tobi have gone to Harefield in Uxbridge.
“They had the option of going in two different directions.

“They could have gone to a place called Denham, which has both an aerodrome so they could have used a helicopter or a private jet, or, they could have taken a train which would have gone to the London terminal.”
