That kid berating Ben for coming to a shit down and threatening to steal his phone felt very English. I got a good laugh from Sam and Adam pointing at the most generic countryside stone wall in the photo and going "he must be hiding down by the canals!" as if those walls aren't everywhere as well

Yeah, there were a few mistakes in the search that will amuse most English people, but basically Ben didn't get far enough away. Partly that was because service out of Scarborough sucks, I guess.
Why's Sam hating on his hiding city at the end so hard? It seems likely to render many photo questions useless in the end game, if he picks the hiding spot well, such as inside Queen Square or Lloyds Court or in one of the many underpass connectors, because photos will narrow it only to one of many similar places built around the same date in a similar style. One steel+glass block or polished granite wall looks much like another. The street grid will nullify the Strava traces. It's unlikely to be a winning run, because it's too easy to get to and the "tallest building from the station" photo will probably be a giveaway to anyone who's seen it - or Superman IV - so there won't be much long game, but the final half mile could be carnage.
Actually, half a mile radius around the station would put both named locations out of range. How difficult it is also depends where in the station they measure from, as it's about 100m from the platforms to the main entrance. He could probably only hide in 16 or so of the connectors, not the full 40+ in the city centre. Still annoying, but probably not winning.
