A man doesn't spend 30 years in a cave because there is something particularly compelling about living in a cave. He does it because the world outside is too painful for him to bear.
I believe Torbet was traumatized by the world of tight squeaky pants and red shoes. Christ almighty, there is only so much of that a man can take. RIP Torbet.
My grandfather used to take him food every week and have a good chat with him from Girvan where we lived. Told me many of stories about him as a person was a proper nice gentleman and had a great sense of humour he was an accountant. He moved to the cave because of heart break. Didn't want to be part of the coggs of society anymore. Nice video.
I remember seeing him walking along the road back from ballentrae with his two water containers in the mid seventies. He was also known as Johnny seven coats. He wouldn't take a cigarette of you in person but if you left it he would take it for later. The local people built the wall at the mouth of his cave. It was incredible that he survived in there for 30 years. The winter nights must have been long and cold and very dark. I feel honoured just to have seen him. Even though it was summer he was wearing that big black coat with a water container in each hand with a 2-3 mile walk.😢
I used to live in Ayr and we would cycle down to Ballantrae and camp out during the summer, we saw him walking along the road couple of times, we knew him as the old tramp. This would have been around 1978.
That's happened in an American state. Lots of people living in their cars. The local council made it illegal. Now they're all in tents on the pavement.
Respect to this man, the way the whole country is going sometimes I feel like finding a cave and living in it, it's all about what you have and being better than others
As a local I used to see him in Girvan on his way home. I always believed that it was locals that built the wall for him. I met him once in the cave after asking permission to enter he spoke to me and my young son I offered him some cigarettes he asked what brand they were and refused the reason being they weren’t strong enough as the ones he made from the “doubts” he picked up.
Don't blame the guy. The way the World is now i would imagine a few would like to live like him..If i didn't have family, children it would be tempting.
Wow what a story poor man had rough but to be fair to him living in them conditions for 30 years a good solid strong man god bless him thanks for sharing enjoyed it .
That brings back memories. We used to occasionally see him on our way to my Gran's caravan at Cairnryan in the late 70s/early 80s. Usually just saw the smoke from his fire.
That was so interesting. A nice but sad story. I bet he was a happy man. All the distractions we get in our everyday lives, he must have been at peace. RIP Henry. Is he buried there, he loved that cave I think. Thankyou. 😢
@barryjacobs8524 cheers. Glad you enjoyed it. Good question on the burial....I'm not sure. I think the cairn is just a memorial rather than a grave. Thanks for watching. 😊
An old couple, Doug and Anne Moller, lived rough in an old castle like folly built around a cave on the rocky outcrop of The Roaches in Derbyshire in the '70s and '80s. They were well known to rock climbers who referred to the old man as Lord of the Roaches. In 1979 the Peak National Park bought The Roaches, ending Doug’s plan of buying the land around his home, and offered to buy Rockhall for £3,000. The Mollers fought a decade-long fight against their eviction, which ended when the authority offered them the tenancy of Knotbury End Farmhouse, near Flash. Anne died in a fire in 2003 and Doug died in 2022.
This place had a metal gate put up to protect it after he died. Of course it's now been removed and the place has been vandalised:( He didn't put the walls up, they were already there when he moved in. Used to see him when I was a kid and that road was still in use
I guess the locals put the walls up for him, though? It wouldn't make sense to do it before. The graffiti in there is annoying, I agree. Thanks for watching
@@matparks08 if you Google search Bennane cave there's a Scottish Cave and Mine database article that gives a reference to the walls from the 19th century.
Always looked out for him when we passed the cave often a plume of smoke coming out of the cave there was a lady that wandered the roads with him sometimes called Dundee Annie , when we misbehaved we were told Snib and Dundee Annie would come for us...🤔😁....I don't think Snib erected the wall???
Aww, good memories 😊. Yeah, a few have mentioned the wall... obviously my knowledge is limited so it's good to read first hand accounts of the time. Thanks for watching 😊
❤ a big thumbs up before viewing 😊😊 pt,2 what a truly lovely upload your teM are inspirational to so sensitively covered without being condescending or cringey... i hope ya'll know what i meN.,, its a compliment ❤❤
Thanks for that tour! I remember reading about him at the time as I was up and down that road fairly frequently then and had the impression he had been a bank manager. Also, I had thought that road widening had destroyed the cave as a habitation. Thanks for supplying the correct history. I shall look out for the cave next time I am down that way. Cheers!
I think its incredibly brave and daring too live how this man did.People are so quick too judge their was a time when man lived in caves and hunted for food, obviously society has changed drastically as long as he was happy that's what counts
Heartbreak from a loss of his partner, he didn't want to be part of society anymore... had enough of it all. He had plenty of money, was an accountant and just let everything rot and took nothing with him. He could have left that cave at anytime but decided not too. My grandfather spoke to him every week and used to have a good chat with him at the cave.. very rarely he invited anyone in as many came to visit. I guess you could say my grandfather became a good friend of his as they used to sit and have a wee dram of whisky.
There were a many very interesting rough living characters around our area during the 60s all with life changing stories one in particular Wriggley he would get us kids to carry his bags of empty soda bottles back to his old rail tender he lived in, as payment we all got a great story & a piece of chuddy, hence his nick name Old Wriggley was good times.
It's simple, I MUST find a comfy cave, obtain a worn out overcoat and greet the locals in a cheery manner. The food, clothes and cigarettes will pour in .
Harry’s cave, just a few hundred meters from the Robin Hood pub near Baslow. Harry lived there after he was ‘stoned’ out of his other cave by hooligans 😕. Smelt like a dead Badger but blimey, what a tough man to be able to survive that life 😬
I heard a podcast of a man who lived under a tree in Australia for a few years and he was previously a millionaire, walked away from everything, I can’t remember what the podcast was called 🤔
My family used to get on Anthony mcginleys bus to gweedore in gorbals at the glasgow fair and on the way to the boat Anthony used to say look out for the hermit
He wouldn't last to long today living like that , the " authorities " wouldn't leave the man alone , I wonder what set him off to live like that in the first place .
It was his own decision to live, that way he had a good lifestyle before this obviously had mental Health issues because what sane person would want to live that way .
@@matparks08 well that’s a fact isn’t it you see these people in the shop doorways up and down the country. Some of them are homeless. Some of them are not a lifestyle in most cases but I’ve weighed them up and most of them look mad anyway, when I first started my HGV driving career, I was on a thing called tramping which meant I was gone for the full week all around the country. Sometimes as far as Northern Ireland southern Ireland and I found it hard to sleeping in a lorry that lifestyle not for me I’ve changed to more local stuff right now. drive small tipper trucks, much better. finally, I could not do what these people do you have to have a mental health issue as far as I am concerned.
Their was a hermit up in the hills behind my brother in laws place in Australia 🇦🇺 he was bare foot in his 60s never wore a shirt ever ,and always had two pig dogs and a big Bowie knife strapped to his side 😂he was a actually a very intimidating sight if you was to be up in the hills all alone 😂but in reality he was a kind old soul that was just hating on society 👍if we shot any wild boars we would take him one ☝️
If its nesting season in that cave, maybe it would be best to go there at other times of the year, it just somehow spoilt what would have been a far more interesting film, no disrespect guys your good people and it is an interesting thing your doing. Cheers
Yeah, I get you....unfortunately we didn't know at the time, and we are unlikely to ever be passing there again. Appreciate and understand your comment. All the best 👍

@@NovChivon 'eating only boiled potatoes for 59 years' - that's a long time of eating. Eating for 20-30 minutes twice every day is more than enough for me.
Yes, plus income tax, value-added tax, road tax, customs duties, corporations tax, inheritance tax, environmental duties, petroleum revenue tax, tobacco duties, climate change levy, fuel duties, stamp duty, business taxes, excise duties ... I may have missed a few. One way or another, directly or indirectly, he and everyone else is ruthlessly pursued by bureaucrats who won't get a proper, productive job and plunder other people for an income.
A man doesn't spend 30 years in a cave because there is something particularly compelling about living in a cave. He does it because the world outside is too painful for him to bear.
Can't argue with that......

My family lineage came from Girvan and Dalry on my grandmother's side Montgomeries came to Australia in 1916 ish..
How kind of your Grandfather😊
So why was he arrested a few times Earl on?
I like how he was treated sympathetically by the community, and pretty much left in peace to be a hermit. Different times.
@lefroy1 yeah, it's heartwarming isn't it, and paying tribute to him after he'd gone. Different times indeed.

Nowadays the council would forcefully evict him and make him live on the streets.
Sadly, you're probably right 🫤
That's happened in an American state. Lots of people living in their cars. The local council made it illegal. Now they're all in tents on the pavement.
Respect to this man, the way the whole country is going sometimes I feel like finding a cave and living in it, it's all about what you have and being better than others
Yeah, a quieter and calmer way of life would be good. All the best 👍
So nice to read comments from the locals who left him stuff 😊

Used to give him sandwiches on our journeys back and forward from Irvine to Stranraer, forgot about it until I saw this.
Thanks for sharing your memories 😊
Somehow it felt wrong to watch you looking around his cave, this was his sanctuary. May his soul be at peace ❤

Left food every year on way from Prestwick to sand head BB camp this was 70s never saw him left food at entry n leave 🙏🏴🙏
That's wonderful. I wonder how far his lifestyle story had spread during his lifetime?

Bradford jesus man I often saw him walking about , always had a smile and a wave ❤❤❤
