I'm on a roadtrip with Frederik in the United Kingdom and Wales and meet up with Andy and Jacques.
Our first mission is to go to an abandoned sea fort in Wales where we will stay about 24 hours.
This fort was built between 1850 and 1852 and had to protect a royal dock against a Napoleonic invasion. The fort was fully disarmed in 1929, but you can still find some artefacts like cannons.

Excelente exploración compañero, hermoso abandonó, un gran abrazo y saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷🏚️🔦📸😊
Which contary plzzz
Love how your UK trip with British people instantly descends into getting wrecked together lol What an amazing adventure and an incredible site! I’m honestly so envious of this one Bob - I’m stuck in a fairly boring situation at the moment and the spirit of this video and the good vibes gave me a real boost, so cheers for that!
@Tom: hear! hear! from a 68j NL-man living in DE. These vids make me feel I'm there, without leaving the 'comfort' of my own surroundings: I keep my mind fit with&through the iNet, while keeping my body fit by exercising locally with my dogs (& bike). ;--] hYlkeW
Good to hear ! More fun adventures will be coming up :)
I kept thinking about how hard so many people worked to haul and place all those bricks...Great tour.
Bricks those are Blocks
@@mikemccann6319and bricks
Combination masonry of 🧱 and block.
What a fantastic location!! It's actually remarkably well preserved considering its been abandoned for nearly 100 years - the absence of graffiti is also so refreshing!! Great video guys, well done!!
Very cool fort. Fifty years ago I was exploring an abandoned ferry an got so absorbed in the adventure I almost lost the dingy that was tied up to the side when the tide came in.
That BBQ with all friends around to eat and pass a good time is just priceless to me. I remember those times with my friends and brothers.
In 1852, they absolutely had concrete of differing binder compositions. Portland cement was invented in England in 1824 and in regular production by the 1840s. The first reinforced concrete was in 1853. The bricks are likely mortared with it or natural/Roman cement. But this early Portland was very susceptible to attack from sea salt and also expensive to use en masse because production techniques weren't quite as advanced as they are now, so it'd probably have been cheaper and faster to build with brick, not to mention the labor would be more readily available since Portland was so new.
Given that this fort was de commissioned 100 years ago, it is still in pretty good shape. Loved the video.
Well it was built to withstand cannon bombardment plus I'm guessing its very difficult to access for people so it hasn't been stripped away and looted like buildings on a mainland. Very cool location for sure
The small internal windows would have been glazed on the magazine side and a lantern placed from in the recess from the narrow (light corridor) side that seperated the casements and magazines. This to prevent flame's being taken in to the powder magazine and provided illumination without risk of explosions.
Not an ordinary location. Seems like you had lots of fun during this exploration, which makes the video a real summertime adventure 🙃 Love the visual of the brick walls and green vegetation! Thanks for sharing with us again!🤗
Here in Bermuda we have British forts of the same period. In fact we have one or two that started life in the early 16 hundreds and were continually upgraded until the late 1940s.
That makes this fort particularly interesting and familiar in many ways. There are RMLs restored to their original stations in semi-circular installations just as they are there. Brilliant explore, and thank you!
Are they abandoned there as well? Or are they used for something other than a sea bird sanctuary?
@@midwestmike613 I did some research into Bermuda's military history, from the very beginning. It seems that Bermuda has had a very important strategic position, being some 770 miles from the East Coast of the US.
So we became quite heavily fortified against anticipated attacks by, variously, the Spanish, the French, the new United States, Germany, and finally the Soviet Union. This left us with more fortiifications per square inch than anywhere on earth I think lol. As for the British fortifications of the 18th-19th centuries, generally they had installations at the extreme ends of the island, and a few major and minor ones in the middle, being as we're a long, thin island as opposed to more rounded.
Quite a few of them have been convert to other uses. Some are museums, others to recreational areas and nature sanctuaries.
You guys produce some of the best content on RUclips! 💥 Thank You!
1:10 Damn! That is one old school Ford Fiesta. Amazing that it is still being used normally (or even able to drive at all).
Glad to tag along with you in this adventure! Always an amazing experience watching your explores!
Thanks!
This channel deserves so much more views.
That van is a nice lil hangout
Looks like history talking itself 👌🏼❤️
❤️ From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
My history geek side says this was one of the better explores you have done
Thanks for the tour.
I love looking and going through old forts.
This was incredibly special, historical. Can you imagine the sound from those cannons? The smell of gunpowder. Absolutely deafening especially because it is round the sound would have reverberated throughout the fort. I wonder if they ever got to use the canons there. In the early 19th century, they would have had animals, chickens, goats, possibly rabbits for eating. They would have kept livestock and food stocks in case of invasion and not able to resupply for some time. These forts had to be pretty self sufficient.
Thank you very much, we added subtitles and it was a pleasure to watch. And each of your content is unique, it’s difficult to say when answering the question of which content you would like more. your content is all good. Using translator.
extraordinary building - loved the architecture. was great to watch you guys having so much fun. bet is sucked though first thing in the morning having to be woke up with all those birds making so much noice and having a fat head from the night before. LOL.
Ahh this was when we were in Wales too and I message you you but you'd left already.
I was going to visit the fort a couple of years ago with a group but I had to pull out.
Andy & Jacques are great lads, I've partied with them more than explored though! 😂
Excellent insight as ever mate, love the use of liquid drum & bass in the edit too! 🙌
This place looks amazing! Very little vandalism too! Great explore guys!
The little windows you find between the magazines are for illumination. They were separate to the main rooms and accessed by Light passages>
Suggest if your still in the UK, or thinking of coming back, check out Fort Nelson in Portsmouth. Its part of the Royal Armouries, and its free to enter.
They have preserved examples of the 12" RML (Rifled Muzzle Loaders) you saw in the fort
Thanks for the tip and info mate, appreciated!
that's the best one I've seen yet. the possibilities with that place are almost endless. a bag of seeds to plant a garden a rain catchment and one could survive in peace there. 👍👍
It is for sale apparently. No one has made an offer. Wonder why.
@@PhilJonesIII hurricanes maybe?
Cool place, great to see it and the party looked to be a blast. Many thanks for taking us to these fantastic places. Looking forward to the next one. All the very best.
Fabulous video and cause it’s in my neck of the woods Wales 🏴
Thanks a million 🙏 Beautiful area you live in🥰
Just imagine (without thinking about finances) how cool it would be to be able to purchase one of these Military Bases to live on for you, your friends, and family!
Imagine being stationed there during the winter.
Very cool adventure.
I just watched a video where the fort they were on was made into a hotel for a period of time. Not sure if this is the same one it doesn't look like it but still very impressive to see. I can't imagine building something of this size or working there back in the day. Very Cool to see 👍
12:20 Great video! We know this fort! The alarm in the background confirmed it😉 we live in the local area. It was quite funny hearing that for a second we thought the alarm was going off then realized it was actually you guys playing on the tv 😂
Did u manage to get much sleep with the oil tankers and ferry passing? We can hear their engines from ashore.
We found this video after watching your MV Astor tour! Loving the videos!
Oo yeah we slept good! The seagulls were much more noisier😂
Wow! Fantastic location. Thank you for the tour!
@22:33 that wood is to brace the vaulted roof. looks like moss growing & prob water damage weakened the structrue & theyve stred it up by adding the wood to stop any further damage.
Extraordinaria fortaleza, gracias Bob y compañía por compartir.
Stack Rock Fort, Milford Haven. An amusing & stupid line in the Wiki page "Concerns over the security of a nearby LNG jetty were raised in 2013, following the discovery of potential trespasser activity"
Holy shit! When you eventually see the size of the cannon!
Glad I came across your channel 😊, Im new to exploring so it's great seeing these type of videos and to pick up great tips to help me along the way. I just liked and subscribed x
Very nice episode guys! That place is amazing! Thanks for sharing!
What another wonderful adventure! You are doing adventures people only dream or lie about!! LOL! Thank you so much and cannot wait for the next one!
Absolutely loved the song used at the 9:00 minute mark. Seeing you all dance was hilarious.
Supertoffe locatie! Die meeuwen wordt je wel gek van haha. Ik heb volgens mij bij Fallmouth ook van die ronde forten gezien tijdens het naar binnen varen van de haven met de marine. Bij Plymouth heb je bij de haven ingang Drake Island, was altijd benieuwd hoe het zou zijn om daar te exploren. Kijk uit naar de volgende video Bob! 👍🏻😃
Spectacular as always in your explorations !
Dude that music played during your camping for the night was fire! You should use more of that during the aerial shots of the places you visit!
Thanks Jakub! It always depends a bit of the vibe too😁 But yes, it really fitted the scene.. wish I filmed a bit more then but we were pretty drunk🤣
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Nothing wrong about that, cheers!
Hello Bob.I'm here.
Love that Fiesta!!!
😀
This video reminds me Fort Boyard TV show back to my childhood.
It's still on in France every summer but they no longer have the tigers.
awesome adventure from getting smashed to the bird that suddenly flew over your heads in the hallway haha!
Love your videos, always nice locations, keep up the fantastic work:)💪💪
no one:...
absoulty no one:....
the camera guy: *keep breathing* *keep breathing*
btw guys all parts amazing, thanks for doing that thing!! :)☺
That vintage ford fiesta is cool
This place is a gem 💎
Amazing masonry. This was built by some true master masons.
It looks like Stack Rock Fort featured in a Sam mad Jessy video. This was great though hope you guys enjoyed the adventure.
This is stack rock fort 🙂
I love forts and bunkers
Your videos always have such good vibes
Baikpulih lah bangunan tu..buat hotel.. promosi kaw-kaw..boleh tu.. semangat Bro🤭
Love the episode very interesting place thank you
Thanks for sharing the adventure.
This fortress looks a lot like IJmuiden Fortress island (same era). The ammunition storage has windows for candles, and a long hallway so you can light the candles. While there was not electricity, and candlelight (or an oil lamp of some sort) was the only light that was down there. So it seems like a waste of space the hallways, but they certainly had a purpose.
They could make it into a museum, that is what they did in IJmuiden when in 1996 the entire Defense Line of Amsterdam was put on the UNESCO world heritage list. You can go there by boat 3 times a day on the weekends, on other days they have escape rooms and workshops there. Going out with everyone of the job and have yourself a teambuilding experience sort of deal.
The place has potential.
Cool trip, i like it a lot. Seagulls are shitty im mobs. As long as they are kept at bay, it should be fine.
Greetings,
Jeff
Hello my dear friend Bob, another exciting exploration of epic adventures as always looking forward to your next video love old decaying places it makes me wonder how people lived in here 🤗❤ NICE wishing you guys well, good to see Frederick 😊❤
> Risking life and limb the foursome conquered an old fort owned by raucous beasts by enjoying a BBQ and tasty beverages.
Very interesting. Very remote location, good work.
"Dyslexia isn't cooking tonight. Lasting games..."

perfeita fortaleza obrigado bob pelo video
Great episode.. they should make a museum out of it..
Hopefully they will one day. Amazing place
Outstanding job Robert! Have you gone bigtime? I didn't see you carry or hold a camera the whole vid. You are gonna need some brave men to staff your film crew.
I made all the shots except the ones where I was in yes😄 Frederik shot those.
That place has a shine .. a lot of death happened there.
Love that mk1 fiesta
This is awesome!
Espectacular amigos! 👏👏👏👏
Amazing place guys!!
Very beautiful dock
Thanks for checking Sam!
This is sick bro
I love Andy the egg man 🤣
He’s awesome😎
Croeso i Cymru fechgyn, (Welcome to Wales Boys) 👍
Coolbeens. Really enjoyed it
Great video as usual
Awesome place
strange that all the cannon barrels are split in the same place just by siting there. such thick chunk of steel yet after 100 years it splits like that. all of them.
This was awesome
Thanks for checking out!
interesting, it reminds me of a fort boyard
More forts and star forts 💯🌟💯
could be another fort cause they all look alike lol, but i thought they recorded some of the episodes for the flemish Fear Factor there waaay back in like 2005
