- Wild Camp? Yeah sure, around Broadmoor criminal lunatic asylum? No thanks! Would you wild camp here? This would have to be one of the scariest places to wild camp, and I for one, am not going!
In this video, I explore the beautiful countryside around Crowthorne and the Broadmoor Hospital while telling you a little about the escapes and the impact on the local community.

If I did camp there I would try my old trick of surrounding myself with thick foliage so that at night nothing or no one can sneak up on me without me hearing. That road is indeed an engineering masterpiece. Thanks for sharing 🇬🇧 🇳🇿
@@davidneal6920 Or paracord lines encircling the camp with little bells on.
@@lyndoncmp5751 I’m wondering if bells would wake me. I had the experience twice not to wake up from a “slow woop” fire alarm on the other side of the wall next to my bed. 😨
@@Mike-3745 Oh wow you must be a deep sleeper then. Probably a fire itself wouldn't wake you 😮😊
As a kid I slept through our tent blowing away, it was back in the days when they didn't have sewn in groundsheets. My parents had to retrieve it, repair as best they could and set it up around me! I woke to a deserted tent, they were all waiting in the car in the morning!
Well done, Sir. I was captivated from start to end.
Thank you, I quite like this format. I think I want to try and weave a story into my walks, makes it a bit more engaging to watch.
I used to work for the local authority when the weekly siron was still in effect. All the local schools practice (or used to) going into lock down. Swinley Forest is beautiful, but I wouldn't wild camp there either. Sandhurst is close by, and they do night training around there.
I wouldn't mind going if there was a group of 10 of you....and you were all armed!
I grew up near a state mental hospital in Connecticut. The patients there were not deemed to be dangerous (There was another hospital for the dangerous ones). The funny thing was that they had a klaxon alarm rather than a siren that was tied into the fire alarm system. It was not used to signal escapes as I learned later in life. But, as children, we were summoned into the house when ever it sounded.
I always think its funny how you do things as a kid, then learn more about it later. Some of it justified, some of it not.
Great video. Nice to hear all history.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Great bit of history, looks a nice bit off woodland and a great walk but I'm afraid you wouldn't get me wild camping there either, I used to camp in a woodland called devils spitful as a teenager was next to safari Park, there was reports of various animals escaping over the years we were there including a lion, chimpanzee, was bad anouth 👍
That would have kept me awake, particularly if you could still hear the animals from where you were!
@@dogdadoutdoorsyou could here the lions roaring in the morning and wolves howling at night was good to be fair added that bit of wild to the camps 👍
I would beg to differ about who Jack the Ripper was. The prime candidate and the person the City of London Police were watching 24 hours a day was a man called Aaron Kosminski. He was only saved from arrest when his family had him committed to a private mental hospital where he died two years later.
There are a few theories, all equally valid without a definite answer. Thanks for this one, I'd not heard of this one before.
@@dogdadoutdoors Aaron Kosminski was the man the police believed was responsible for the murders and for whom there is most evidence against. All theories are not equally valid, there are a lot of wild ideas that are provably false. Such as a member of the Royal Family, the Duke of Clarence, was responsible. If Kosminski had not been committed to a private lunatic asylum, it is highly likely he would have been put on trial and sentenced to death and there would not be the continuing mystery.
