Overview
Daniel conducted an outdoor livestream in Manchester on his final day in the city, finding the walk significantly more challenging and anxiety-inducing than anticipated.
During the broadcast, Daniel walked through areas such as Chinatown, a park, the gay village, and near Deansgate, but avoided shops and basements because of signal loss, security guards, and loud copyrighted music.
