This is just insane, a guy called Wilfred scrawled the message “Claudia I ♡ You” across Kuwait using GPS. It took him 11 days to get it done and by the end of it he had ridden, driven and kayaked over 2,000km. The message itself is 615km long. He also took a ton of photos and videos of the whole journey and even has an animation showing the whole trip. I can’t even figure out the logistics behind this, it’s crazy. Here is some more info:
Software Used: Osmand, Google Earth, QGIS, ArcMap, Google Earth, CartoDB, Basecamp
Hardware Used: Samsung Note 2, Garmin GPSMAP 64s
Highlights: the struggle to fit the ♡ between the oil fields, an epic dust storm south of the I, getting beaten into submission by the elements when kayaking the U and seeing V-22 Osprey night practice flights west of the O. Two portions involved offroading at night – the NE shoulder of the O and the first part of the bottom of the Y. Click video points in these locations for more detail.
So check out the animation first [Here]
Then once you’re done check out all the videos [Here] (randomly flip through them)
Oh and yeah, Claudia obviously liked this.

Claudia,
RUN!
Lol
Ha! Ha! ….
He couldn’t have just sent a text message?
Whatever ! I can run these in 1 day… Just like the Tarahumaras…
Day after day guys prove to be the more romantic of both sexes.
How did he drive so close to the Ahmed Al Jaber airbase and not get arrested ?!
Lets see how long Claudia would last !!
Also, how do we know this was not done in MS Paint 😀
Go spend the time with Claudia instead of wasting it driving around doing stupid things like this!
joe get a fucking life. Maybe the guy enjoys driving around the desert. what’s it to you?
You’re an idiot
This is so romantic, I want to cry.
wow a lot of haters on here eh?
so creative,nice one
If you look at Kuwait in the map along with the Bubiyan Islands, turn the map 90 degrees anti-clockwise, it kinda looks like a badly shaped heart but a heart none the less.
Lovely observation. I see it!
Nice Observation. I’m tempted to say given all that’s being going on locally these past few year – its because the heart has turned over and all the love has leaked out into the sea!
This would be very nice for the next whatever useless campaign the government does.
This is amazing!!!!!
If he really loved her he would’ve done it all over America.
You got a point .. LMAO
LoL jokes on him, Claudia is a nightelf warrior
You’re not funny. Go play with a barbie or something
I’m pretty sure he’s a Contractor for KOC, not possible to access those areas (especially at night!) without a proper Gate Pass.
Well done mate! Now what has Claudia done in return? 🙂
You know what she has done in return.
Tip for the next wannabe loverboys…Take ur charm along with you on the drive…then show it on the software..frame by frame to complete the message…Any case msg for Wilfred…Your writing is horrible!!..hehe
“Aww he done all that for me,, waw, so um, I can’t nag no more ?,, bye bye then”
I wonder if Claudia and her boyfriend are laughing at this guy.
And I thought driving to the supermarket because my wife ran out of tahini for the hummous was the ultimate romantic gesture.
Dammit wilfred now we’re all gonna have to do this
No we don’t.
