0:24Breakdown truck.
0:26Friday night. I don't know what this
0:29rear camera is seeing but it's really
0:30dark. Hold on. Maybe if I put the light
0:33on which might help might not as well.
0:36Like it might blur that one out. Um
0:40yeah. So it's Friday again. How does
0:43this keep happening man? Every blooming
0:45week it's Friday.
0:48You know when you're busy at work it's
0:49quick week. Oh I can't believe it was a
0:51week ago that I was down Borough Bridge
0:54down at weabs Halifax. I can't believe
0:57that was a week ago. Seems like I don't
1:00know. It just
1:02that week went really fast.
1:05But that's good cuz it means it's the
1:07weekend and and the weather is looking
1:11good. It's looking really good. No wind.
1:15What am I like with the wind?
1:19No wind today. It's been really nice. I
1:22think the temperature got it to about
1:2416°.
1:26And it's like
1:28the 30th of October,
1:31Halloween tonight. This is a Halloween
1:32weekend special. I've got some um spooky
1:37hair.
1:39I haven't got anything spooky to be
1:41fair.
1:43I've got a couple of movies on me laptop
1:46to watch.
1:48Horror films. Anybody else like me?
1:51Horror films from the 1950s. um the
1:54Hammer House of Horror with Peter
1:55Cushion and Christopher Lee. And I also
1:58like the um the old black and white one,
2:01you know, the original Frankenstein
2:02movie with Boris Caroff as the monster.
2:07As the monster I love that film and then
2:10there was loads of them, wasn't there
2:12like loads of spin-offs where he met the
2:13werewolf and all that. Got a bit mad,
2:17but yeah, I like them kind of films.
2:20horror films, the new ones of today,
2:22jump scares, you know, I don't like jump
2:25scare movies,
2:27you do you do that, you jump out your
2:29skin, but that's like
2:33anybody could do that in a movie.
2:35There's nothing good about that.
2:38There's one. It's like the the ones that
2:39are in your mind. I like them kind of
2:41horror films. Like The Shining was good.
2:43Oh, I could talk for hours about horror
2:45films.
2:47But yeah, Halloween weekend and we're
2:49going to the reservoir.
2:52All right, [laughter]
2:54I'll edit that bit out. We'll do go to
2:57the reservoir. The reserve wire just
3:01tonight cuz it's late. I'm late. Uh just
3:04for somewhere to go, you know, out of
3:06the way. Usual crack. And tomorrow I'm
3:09going to go to um I'm going to try and
3:12go to Allen Banks
3:14and Starwood Gorge. Starwood Gorge. I
3:18don't know how you say it. It looks
3:19wrong.
3:21Um there's a nice walk down there.
3:24That's National Trust Place up um near
3:26Halt Whistle. And I might go in Hall
3:28Whistle itself cuz uh yeah, there's
3:31something I want to find in Hall
3:32Whistle.
3:34All will be revealed.
3:37So, for now, we're going to go to the
3:39reservoir of wire and we'll set up and
3:43come back.
3:45Usual cracker. It's just it's a formula
3:47now. It's like it's a formula.
3:50So,
3:54well, here we are. Here we are
3:58parked up.
4:00It's dead still. Quiet, man. Stars are
4:05out.
4:08There's only a couple of vans here. One,
4:10two,
4:12three. There's another couple over the
4:15other side. And me, little old me.
4:19So, more or less set up. I just chuck
4:21everything in the front. [snorts]
4:23Backpack for tomorrow.
4:26Emergency porter toilet. Still haven't
4:29used it,
4:31which is nuts. Some uh breakfast stuff
4:34in there.
4:35Not the beer,
4:37the little stuff. And then
4:40just the standard setup, but
4:44soon to be a cover on here. Been to talk
4:45to Baz about it. And it sounds like he's
4:47going to make a good good job of it.
4:49Like with some mood lights underneath.
4:53Got the uh the old air fryer
4:57and some chicken tenders.
5:01I bought
5:04some chips.
5:06Had them before. They're quite nice.
5:09So, I'm going to have a beer. Got a
5:10face.
5:14Them
5:15refreshing drink for the morning. And a
5:18couple of frappuccinos.
5:23Scapalino.
5:25A frappuccino and a scapalino.
5:29So,
5:30I'll put that away and I'm going to get
5:31a beer out.
5:33So, that's it.
5:37I'm not going to do much more filming.
5:39[clears throat]
5:40Just
5:42nearly ready then.
5:44Taking hedges.
5:47All right. And got myself a spat layer.
5:49Look. Oh, that's good, man. It's good
5:52one. That nice silicone.
5:56Can't wait to flip a few eggs in that.
5:59which I haven't got, but I'll get some.
6:01It's there. It's in there.
6:05Um,
6:08second can.
6:11It's about it. So, we'll come back when
6:14I get all this all this put away and uh
6:19the bed out and I'm going to
6:21[clears throat] make it cozy and settle
6:23down and watch me horror film cuz it's
6:25spooky out there. Like spooky.
6:28Spooky.
6:30We have some dusty Springfield.
6:34Look at what's that shadow on it. What's
6:36that shadow? See it? It appears. It just
6:40appears.
6:44There's nothing there. There's nothing
6:45here. What the hell?
6:48Come gam.
6:50Well, what an effort. That's it.
6:56because I can't be bothered. You know,
6:57I'm really tired for I've been working
6:59all day and that's my excuse. I've got a
7:02Halloween beer,
7:04Halloween colors, orange and blackish
7:07blackish.
7:09Got me Halloween chopping board.
7:12My Halloween blue plate,
7:15my Halloween air fryer,
7:17and me Halloween racket of death are
7:19still using this. There still things
7:20coming in. Wishing they hadn't.
7:25do. Right. I'm going to have this
7:29and then I'm going to
7:32sort everything out. Right. All then.
7:34Why?
7:36I'm in. I'm in. I'm in my bed.
7:41What cause? I got to put the heater on
7:43in a second. It's a little bit chilly.
7:45Like what's the temperature?
7:489°. O. Definitely put the heater on. Not
7:52for too long though as it gets
7:54ridiculously hot very quickly. It's good
7:56heater I like. In fact, here we go.
7:59Right. So, you press that heating comes
8:02up. Temperature mode. Let's get it at 21
8:08and that's it. And that will come on.
8:11You hear it just starting up there.
8:13[snorts]
8:15It takes a little while to come on, but
8:16it's just cuz it's priming itself.
8:20But when it's on. Oh, it's on.
8:23Oh, it's on.
8:25So, yeah, we're watching this movie
8:27here, which is called Dr. Sleep,
8:33and it's the followup to The Shining, no
8:37less.
8:39So, Red Ram, Red Ram,
8:43Dr. Sleep. Very good. Doctor Sleep.
8:48It's very scary. I don't know if I've
8:49seen it before or not. I can't remember.
8:52I think I might have. Anyway, so I'm
8:54going to watch that. Couple of beers,
8:57probably fall asleep.
8:59So,
9:02we'll see you
9:04you
9:07in the morning.
9:11Happy Halloween.
9:20Christ, I'm dying.
9:23All right, then. It is the morning
9:28and I'm just making his second cup of
9:30coffee. Just been talking to two lads
9:33there. There's a Jimmy. Jimmy down
9:34there. Hello, Jimmy. Nice to meet you. I
9:36I don't always reply to comments. I know
9:38what you're saying. They get lost. They
9:40get lost in the ether, you know.
9:44That's the problem with the comments.
9:46The comments section gets very very
9:50busy
9:52and you lose track cuz YouTube's unique
9:55way of delivering
9:57content.
10:02I was in your comment from like a week
10:04ago
10:07pushed right back down off me screen. So
10:10I can't really can't really see it.
10:12Anyway, [clears throat] enough of that.
10:16And he is in the white van.
10:19Not all that through there. Didn't give
10:21you a name.
10:22But look at the water level. Oh, it's
10:24really low still. Thought it would have
10:27filled up a bit. Had a bit of rain. Wow,
10:30it is really low.
10:32I think
10:34[snorts]
10:35Stevie Yi, I think that might be lower.
10:38Lowest I've ever seen it.
10:41Dieards are still out there fishing.
10:45So, we're going to move on
10:47[clears throat]
10:47from this lovely spot. Had a nice night.
10:50That film was mad. Doctor's sleep. So,
10:53it's you and McGregor. Watch the um the
10:56director's cut version of it. I think
10:59I've seen it before, right? But there
11:00was loads of bits that I hadn't seen.
11:03Was quite spooky.
11:05Got another one to watch tonight for
11:07Halloween. It is Halloween now. I was
11:10too sharp last night.
11:13I can have me coffee and a nice maple
11:16and pecan
11:18little special.
11:20Hopefully them with a black coffee goes
11:24really well.
11:26So yeah, we'll come back at the next
11:29stop
11:31[snorts]
11:31because I'm just going to be driving
11:32just driving the normal road through the
11:35through the countryside that way
11:38to the next place.
11:56Busy
11:58Brazil.
12:00Let's go,
12:02which is the hardest one.
12:05We do the orange
12:08cuz we're hard. I got very high very
12:12quickly.
12:14There's the
12:16the river star
12:19or river Allen.
12:21Don't know what river it is. Look at
12:22this tree. Look at this.
12:28Amazing.
12:32It's an old tree that
12:36knobbly
12:38huge.
12:41I think it's a beach tree.
12:43There's evidence of squirrel activity.
12:47Lot of beach nuts.
12:49If you can get them before the
12:50squirrels, they're nice.
12:53You got to dig right inside them to get
12:54the nut, though. [snorts] Right.
13:00Was busy down there, but not so bad
13:03here. So, I'm on the orange route, which
13:06is meant to be the toughest route.
13:09It's cuz I'm hard
13:12hard. I bet you I've got to get off to
13:14the right. That's why I'm breathing
13:15heavily. There's a whole pill.
13:19Don't know what happens. I don't know if
13:20you go on a loop or not. Oh no. You go
13:23to the left. Keep left.
13:27[snorts] It's telling you here.
13:30Look left. Pick up your dog right. And
13:32then just leave it.
13:36If you do that, and I see you do that,
13:39I'll wrap it around your face, right?
13:42And I'm not joking. I hate people who do
13:44that. Pick up your dog shite and take it
13:47away. You don't just leave it there.
13:54Right,
13:55that's me rant. I hopefully that's the
13:57only rant
14:01justified, I think. So, if you come off
14:03the ultra busy path
14:06and down here, just get down the river's
14:08edge.
14:10Probably not be able to do this in a
14:11couple of weeks once the rain comes.
14:16Some swans there.
14:19Thought of swans. This is uh
14:23I think it is called the river Allen.
14:25I'll have to check. It's quite deep.
14:28It's deep there.
14:30It is.
14:32So yeah, just be careful.
14:37Easy fall in my leg.
14:40There's loads of people around there
14:41sitting in the bank having a picnic cuz
14:43it's a nice waterfall.
14:46So we'll get going again. Oh yeah, look
14:50at this. Trees are amazing here.
14:53God
14:57Harry Potter comes flying out.
15:01It's huge.
15:04Huge.
15:09Think it's a beach tree. What's this?
15:14Beach leaf.
15:16Think so. Any idea? Probably not.
15:24We continue. I'm not even a mile in and
15:27it's amazing.
15:35It's climbing again. Look at this place
15:38though. There's a mix of Douglas furs,
15:41beach tree, there's oaks,
15:45there sycamars.
15:47Don't mention sycamar around here.
15:50Ah, there's hills.
15:52I want to be down by the river.
15:58[sighs]
16:01A little rest here.
16:08So, what's happened is I've made a a boo
16:11boo cuz there's the orange path. It's
16:15the orange path which goes back there.
16:18So, they said that was a strenuous walk
16:20which which it was to be fair coming up
16:22this hill. But I want the brown walk. I
16:25want the brown path. I've just had a
16:26look online. I [snorts] got signal up
16:29here. There's no signal down there, but
16:32I want the brown walk,
16:34which takes you to Planky Mill. So, I've
16:35got to go all the way back down. I've
16:38just sweated to come up 140 BPM.
16:42[snorts] Coming up in the orange zone,
16:45not the red.
16:49So, I've got to go on the way back down.
16:50That's all right. It's good exercise.
16:55And then we'll follow the brown arrows
16:57for the brown route. And [snorts] then
16:59from Panky Mill from Planky Mill, it
17:02should be a green route which is extra
17:07bit extra. I think that takes you to the
17:09gorge, don't know. We'll find out.
17:19It's flipping hard coming up here.
17:25Nice.
17:44All right.
17:52This used to be an old rickety rope
17:55swing bridge
17:58years ago when I first came here years
18:02and years ago.
18:04Now it's all been built up
18:10here. Get away.
18:16Yeah.
18:18The old planky mill rope swing bridge is
18:21no more.
18:23That's planky mill over there.
18:26Go across there. Have a wonder. See if
18:28you can find the green path.
18:55the remains of the old farmhouse.
18:58This really used to like a camp. It's a
19:01camping field there for years. There was
19:03some mad nights there though. And of
19:06course, it got ruined by crazy people,
19:11me being one of them.
19:13>> [snorts]
19:16>> Man, they used to come in all caravans
19:18and everything.
19:20Come back at mill trouble at mill. So
19:24many years ago. Many years ago. I go
19:28back nearly 19 years when I last came.
19:3019 years. But before that,
19:34we come quite regular. This is the road
19:37you come down.
19:39Come down that road.
19:41You drive into the field there.
19:44Picture a tent there. Whatever.
19:46There's a few people over there.
19:49This is the old mill. Old farm
19:54where poor old Walter used to live.
19:57Got evicted.
20:02He used to let you camp here, Walter.
20:05and he was wrongly accused [snorts] of
20:08chopping the sycamore gap tree down.
20:11This is the farm where he's from.
20:14Can you imagine?
20:18I mean, he's got axes and chainsaws in
20:20the outhouse.
20:24He had a axe to grind literally against
20:27the establishment who evicted him. Prime
20:30suspect, but no, it wasn't him.
20:36It wasn't him. Wasn't me. Some shy.
20:43There we go.
20:46Oh, the old fan house is all a bit uh
20:51knackered. [snorts]
20:56Can't get in. But there used to be like
21:00toilets and showers and everything here.
21:03See if I can find them.
21:05It's sad to see it like this. Honestly,
21:08some good nights here. [snorts] It was
21:11rowdy, but it was good. Good crack.
21:15Hello,
21:17Mr. Potter.
21:21No,
21:24I'm some urban explorer.
21:29The deck chair,
21:31[snorts] as you would expect.
21:34Here's the What's this?
21:39A fridge freezer.
21:42Seen better days.
21:44[snorts]
21:46Who
21:47daddy?
21:49You come here and wear good boots.
21:53It's a bit uneven
21:55and slippy.
21:57Oh, look. We can go in.
22:02Washing machine.
22:04Looks like it works. [snorts]
22:08Please do not try to move this door. It
22:09is set. Thanks.
22:16Hold on.
22:18The old the old living room.
22:21[snorts] The old cupboard under the
22:22stairs. What's in there? Halloween
22:25surprise.
22:29I'm going to kill you, Harry.
22:38Seen better days.
22:40Quite sad. Imagine living here though.
22:44It's your view.
22:47Look at all the flies. Oh, it's like
22:49something out of the Amitville.
22:50[clears throat]
22:52Jeez.
22:53I'll hear a voice in a minute. Get out.
23:03I'm a bit uh
23:06trepidacious.
23:15to do her upper leg.
23:18Bit of ana b.
23:23Wow.
23:28[snorts] This is the book. Nope. It's
23:31not looking there.
23:36This is the This is the kids bedroom.
23:40[sighs]
23:41Bit of paint. All right.
23:51Got to be careful. Stairs could just
23:53give way and I don't know what I'm
23:54doing. [snorts] Probably not meant to
23:56come in here.
23:59But we're in.
24:03This must be the lounge
24:06living room.
24:10This
24:13just
24:15it's under the stairs. Cupboard under
24:16the stairs.
24:18That
24:20probably worth a few quit. That [snorts]
24:23come screw driver.
24:26All right, that's the urban explorer of
24:28the old mill farm
24:34complete.
24:35Let's continue. See if we can find this
24:37gorge.
24:40Oh, it's stuck. I left the camera all
24:41the way back around.
24:46Yeah, good. So, back out on the um by
24:50the river. So,
24:53basically,
24:55the last time I stayed here in tent, it
24:56was probably here. Probably pitched
24:58here. Now, it's a public footpath.
25:01Can't believe they used to have tents
25:02and caravans and everything here. It's
25:04mad.
25:06Yeah. Um the owners shut the place down
25:09and turfed him out. I think they like
25:13belong to the church or something and
25:14they didn't like the way he was running
25:16it cuz all the camping carry on. I mean
25:19used to just come here and have a
25:20massive pissup like
25:24me mate Dave came
25:26turn up and had a there's a rope swing
25:28along here. I was swinging into the
25:31water. God was years ago. How long?
25:36Swinging on the rope. Swing into the
25:38water. Sploosh. Splash down. It's mint.
25:42It's probably around about here.
25:46Might have been around about here
25:47somewhere. It's deep enough to fall
25:49into, isn't it?
25:52Dragging yourself out. [snorts]
25:55All right, we'll continue to the gorge.
25:57You come across that. Oh, I'm
26:00sad. I'm sad.
26:01Some good nights here. Also had some
26:04pretty poor nights as well. Like so.
26:07Yeah. 50/50.
26:13[snorts]
26:18Oh,
26:20tree roots. Watch out for tree roots.
26:27Just take it in.
26:38and breathe.
26:42Amazing. Never been this far along
26:45before.
26:46Never got this far.
26:50So, this is a new bit.
26:54Now, I don't know. I could be wrong,
26:58but is this the gorge?
27:03It's nice, isn't it? It's nice. Tell you
27:06what, a little paddle board and just
27:08have a fluke around there. Probably deep
27:10enough in the middle.
27:12Yeah, look at it.
27:14Just come down and watch when you're
27:16walking on. These rocks are dead,
27:17slippy, greasy. You know, even with your
27:20prop on mountain boots, I'm skidding.
27:25Yeah, nice.
27:32Absolute sh right back at two goes.
27:37I get two shots.
27:44Not much better. Like I've lost it. It's
27:46hard cuz I can't uh I can't position
27:50myself properly. I'm holding the camera.
27:52There's another bit of skimm and walk
27:56here.
27:57This is going to go for miles, miles
28:02two.
28:06Ah, I've just broke into a million
28:08pieces this one.
28:12No, I've lost me here.
28:17Look at this tree. Another one of these
28:19um what you call it?
28:21Spooky hollow
28:23tree with a horseman that comes out.
28:26Look at that.
28:28It's cobweb right in the face.
28:32Sleepy hollow. That was it.
28:36It's amazing. The hell that's still
28:38standing.
28:40Wait, it's so melting. John,
28:42[laughter]
28:44the jocks keep coming.
28:46Oh man.
28:49I mean,
28:52it's nuts and nuts. I think it's just
28:53here.
28:55What a massive gorge.
28:58Did you know this was here? Did you? If
29:02you're from the tomb, you'll know.
29:05Everybody comes here.
29:07But not me.
29:10It's my first visit. I think this opens
29:12up around here. Come back.
29:16There you go.
29:17I think this is the the gorge of the
29:22star gorge. No idea.
29:28There's me
29:30t-shirt. It's November tomorrow.
30:00So, we've reached the final destination.
30:04Don't say that. Not when there's a drop
30:06like that over the side.
30:10Why if I fall,
30:12we'll know about it. This is Starwood
30:16Peel
30:17built in 1316
30:21which is quarter 1
30:24and demolished by 1856
30:285 to 7. They had knocked down already.
30:33We'll go over there and try and get a
30:34good view of it and then I need a break.
30:38Well, climb up. The walk up is mad the
30:43way I came.
30:45Be prepared.
30:47What a place just to find in the middle
30:48of nowhere though.
30:51Good. Just wondering if this is part of
30:53it as well. Must have been massive.
30:56There's no pictures. I'll see if I can
30:58find a picture online.
31:03Walls left now.
31:08Oh, there's a picture there. Oh yeah, it
31:10was huge.
31:12Would you attack a stronghold like this?
31:15Hi.
31:17Where's the stone gone? Quart 4, King
31:21James granted the property to Lord
31:22Howard Dewalden
31:25who used the stone from it to build a
31:26more comfortable house at Starwood
31:28Manor. Well, you would, wouldn't you?
31:31[sighs and gasps]
31:32There's a border stronghold
31:35and then it became a place of quiet
31:36prayer for hermit crabs from the priaryy
31:41stayed in church hands until Henry VII
31:44dissolution of the monsters. Henry VII
31:46again man he's a bad man
31:49star or store or Anglo-Saxon words
31:52meaning in a fenced or enclosed place
31:55while earth or mean peel however is
31:58celtic it means stronghold so star ward
32:03starworth I don't know
32:07good again it was for the invasion of
32:11the scots you stop invading
32:14we come to you. We come to you. But
32:18yeah, that was originally built in
32:20quarters one 1316.
32:22Amazing.
32:24All right. Well, I'm going to have a
32:26coffee now. Just a a frozen coffee
32:30or a iced coffee even.
32:33And then I'm going to head back. Done
32:34like 3 and miles.
32:373.16 miles. Took us an hour and 40
32:40minutes to do that. There's a lot of
32:41mucking about though.
32:44probably climb up there if I was a bit
32:45younger
32:47and then stand up there like Tarzan,
32:52but I'm not going to, right? I'm going
32:54to have a coffee
32:57and then go back down that path of doom
33:01and just make your way back really just
33:03back at uh Planky Mill
33:07and this this right I remember it now.
33:08Used to be the old bridge. This was the
33:11old bridge I used to It's like a rope
33:14bridge went across. It was right
33:16sketchy.
33:18It was mad. Used to go across the other
33:20side there like a rope bridge. It was
33:24terrifying.
33:26And then it got washed away in a great
33:28storm and flood.
33:30Plenty more. I've got so many memories
33:32of this place
33:34from I'm going back 40 years, you know.
33:3840. Maybe it's longer.
33:41Used to come with my brother-in-law.
33:44Anyway, it's enough of that.
33:48Back to the future.
33:53So, Star Ward Peel is a mile that way.
33:56That's where I was. It's a mile and then
33:59the car parks a mile and a quarter back.
34:01So, a round trip there of about 5 and 1
34:04half mile. I did about six. Oh, well
34:07they've done cuz I did a lot of
34:10exploring around
34:13the old swing bridge, the old rope
34:15bridge. Nuts. And they built this.
34:20Right, we'll come back at the car park,
34:21I think.
34:24[sighs]
34:25Well, I'm back at the car park and let
34:29me tell you, right, that car park is a
34:31nightmare. Do not go in the overflow.
34:35>> [snorts]
34:35>> Don't go in the overflow car park. Just
34:37don't do it. And I'll tell you why. Cuz
34:40I've just got stuck in there in the mud.
34:43All the mud falling off the van there.
34:45Now my wheels are caked. The van's
34:47covered. I'm going to have to jet wash
34:48this. Like [snorts] I got stuck in the
34:51mud. I couldn't get out. It was on a
34:52hill like that and it was so muddy and I
34:55looked when I parked. I thought I don't
34:57know if I'm doing the right thing here.
34:58it any place I could park.
35:02I was there ages trying to get it out.
35:04Rocking it wouldn't come out. Just
35:07burying itself deeper.
35:09And then this kind couple approached and
35:12he said, "Do you want a hand?" I'm like,
35:13"Well, we'll be good." Yeah.
35:17And uh his last got in the van and drove
35:20it and me and him pushed it from the
35:22back. We got it so far. We did move it
35:25with my power obviously. My power power
35:30and um
35:32and then
35:34I'm not sure what I'm getting here.
35:37And then some other guy came around the
35:38corner. Young lad looked fit. [snorts]
35:41Roped him in, pushed it out, got it out
35:43onto the flat. Oh man, I tell you what a
35:46job. A heavy van this. You find out how
35:50heavy it is when you got to push the
35:51thing.
35:55All right. So, I'm stuck in the mud.
35:57That was exciting. Back there. I forgot
35:59to film a bit where the dog jumped in
36:01the um jumped in the river. Couldn't get
36:03out. There all sorts going on here.
36:06Oh, man. Oh, but at least the weather's
36:09nice.
36:11I put the wrong specs on.
36:14At least the weather's nice. Nice still
36:16sunny day. I'm walking around still in
36:18the t-shirt. It's mad.
36:21So, yeah, that was um Allan Banks and
36:24Starwood Gorge and with Starwood Peel
36:28thrown in at the end, which I didn't
36:31know about. I didn't know about that
36:32until I got to the sign. So, we're going
36:34to
36:36I'm going to go to Hulle now. I don't
36:38know if I'm going to do a much around.
36:39It's getting late. Like, it's uh it's 25
36:413 be dark soon. I've got to find
36:43somewhere to park.
36:45Yeah, this these winter tires good in
36:47the snow and the ice but not good on the
36:50mud. Blime me. Just found that out and
36:52me cost. I thought I was going to get
36:54stuck like I thought I was going to have
36:55to phone Green Flag
36:57to come and get us out. But no, the kind
37:00gentleman came. So, we'll see you back
37:02at Halt Whistle or whatever we do. Might
37:05might even see you back at the park up
37:06there. Depends what it's like. Listen to
37:10that mud coming off the wheels, man.
37:13There's nobody behind us anyway.
37:21Not good in the mud.
37:24Mud
37:32clean off. At least we're gone. At least
37:35we got going.
37:38This is uh whole Russell here. Nice
37:40little The Pillow Box Cafe. Oh, look.
37:43It's themed by
37:45post boxes and stuff. Look, look. Ah,

38:06Look at the weather. Look at it.
38:13It's a funny little
38:16It's made out of metal.
38:23Have no idea where to go.
38:28Try not to get run out. Like
38:30everything's shut. What time is it? It's
38:33only 20 to 4.
38:36Everything's closed.
38:41H whistle town center
38:45as you are.
38:47Is that an antique shop? I think it is
38:53shut

38:57in there. You know what they've done
38:59there, don't you? They've robbed the
39:01granny's house.
39:04They've robbed the granny's house.
39:06They've robbed it. All
39:15right.
39:18Surprise, surprise. The Turkish Bob is
39:20open.
39:24[snorts]
39:25Oh, I'm suspicious.
39:33Display. That's shops. A lot of shops.
39:36Nothing's open. That's weird.
39:41Another one. Well, this is the library,
39:44right?
39:46I built this library. Me,
39:52the the original facade, but all that's
39:56new.
39:58I came to work here was when they were
40:00building it. I parked my van in here.
40:03So, that's all new. Kept the original
40:05front.
40:07There's a co-op, the butchers,
40:10candlestick makers,
40:12toilets.
40:17All right, I won't go in.
40:21Look, all right, though. There a posh

43:27It might have been a border Rambler for
43:29all we know.
43:32Right, let's go back into the town. I
43:35think I'm for a pint in the railway pub.
43:37What the hell? I've earned it. Pushing
43:38that van out of that mud. I'm absolutely
43:40My legs are like jelly. Jelly legs
43:46first. I'm going up there.
43:59Good.
44:06It's end. It's nearly November and I'm

44:12nuts. It's busy this broad, but they've

44:29go for a shower in the leisure center,
44:31that's the place to go.
44:33probably charge you about a couple of
44:34quid.
44:36Worth it though. Look,
44:40it's the van
44:42covered in mud on bloody wheels. Oh, I'm
44:45going to have to jet wash it. It's
44:46killing us this.
44:48It's going in for its new cupboard to on
44:50Monday.

45:23the pond, weren't they? Gone going for
45:25the Halloween party
45:31evening.
45:35The black bull.
45:37Oh, the black bull in there. Oh, that
45:39looks nice. I think I think that might
45:42be the one I went in years ago.
45:45Brew Barana House in there. Loads of
45:48pubs.
45:50center of Britain.
45:54I like to play on the fact that it's the
45:56center of Britain.
46:02So, there we go. That is Halifax. No,
46:07what's it called? Halt Whistle.
46:10Halifax. [laughter]
46:12It was last week.
46:14I'm going now right to find the park up.
46:17It's getting dark. I think I found
46:19somewhere.
46:24Tempting to stay out and get drunk. This
46:26is mad. I bet you this is a wild night
46:28out here.
46:30I can't do it. I can't do it. There's
46:32nowhere to park here, so I can't do it.
46:35Right. Let's get back in the van.
46:39Right.
46:41Well, just a short like journey
46:45um sort of southwest from Hol Whistle, I
46:49come across this is the old vioideuct,
46:51old railway line,
46:53the Lamly vioideuct. And look, look at
46:57it.
46:59Look at me go. There's nobody here and
47:03there's no signs up. I can park here for
47:07Nate and I'm going to and it's spooky
47:10for Halloween.
47:13Your father was a swine.
47:18So yeah, I'm parked up there. We're
47:22going to jet wash this tomorrow. The
47:24garage in there. All whistle is so
47:25garage. I'll go there, jet wash it, get
47:28all that mud off.
47:30It's a disaster that.
47:33Thank God for them lads who came along.
47:37But yeah, this is the old lambly
47:38vioideuct.
47:42I can hear a chainsaw. [laughter]
47:45That's never a good sign. Anyway, right,
47:47we're going to get in, get sorted out.
47:51That's it really. Get the beers on.
47:55I've got 4G as well, which is another
47:58result.
48:00I've got me scary orange lights on
48:05cuz this is a really scary place.
48:09Spooky. Spooky. Look at it. Look at it.
48:22There's not one sign up saying you can't
48:24park here. So, I'm in.
48:27I'm in.
48:29This dog walker is like wandering about,
48:32but that's all right. Still only early.
48:36Look at that torch is mad.
48:40But yeah, this is it, man. It's a nice
48:43quiet spot. Little bit of road noise,
48:45but that'll die off. I'm sure of it.
48:50It's creepy though, is it? Ah, creepy.
48:54Creeper.
48:56I'm going to watch the mummy later.
48:58Don't know if I should.
49:01See, like along with Blair Witch
49:02Projects, the mummies. Mummies are like
49:04one of my biggest fears.
49:10We'll be hurried. There's no mummies
49:12around here.
49:14They're remaking. Oh, they're bringing a
49:16new one out, aren't they? The mummy 4.
49:19Right. So, just going to sit and chill
49:22out with the radio. Got a signal so I
49:24can get the radio. See, Craig Charles.
49:27Great Charles. Might send him a might
49:30send him a little memo. See if he reads
49:32this out. He's never read it out for
49:33ages to remedy that.
49:37This is what it's like without a torch.
49:39Look at this.
49:42You get yourself one of these orite.
49:46[sighs]
49:47It's mad.
49:49Why? It's crazy.
49:52Yeah. I'll be safe if anybody comes.
49:56Right, back to me little party, me solo
50:01party. What a sad act. [laughter]
50:05Here we are then. After about 14
50:08minutes, everything's done. Look, the
50:10the thrice cooked chips. The chicken is
50:14back. The barbecue sauce. The uh Kansas
50:19style barbecue sauce. No less tons of
50:23style.
50:24So I've used that up now. Oh yeah,
50:27that's down to one bar. It kills the air
50:30um the power banks. The air fryers kill
50:32the power banks. That's drawing 900 W.
50:36So it just kills it. But I had it
50:39plugged in the front
50:42like all day when I was driving. So it
50:44charged up. Put it put a couple of bars
50:45in actually. So, I'm going to have this
50:48and then I am going to listen to Craig
50:51Charles on radio and then I'm going to
50:54get the double bed out,
50:56pull the bed out and then get in and
50:59watch the film. So, we'll come back
51:02later when and we're all
51:05sorted out. Nice. Good. Good little
51:08setup that is. I'll have a cupboard
51:10there soon.
51:11There'll be a cupboard going across
51:13there next time you see my next video.
51:20Hi Craig, it's Andy Wardle here. All
51:22tucked in for a spooky night in the van.

51:27and thrice cooked chips in the old air
51:29fryer. I'm literally in the middle of
