- This is wild camping gone wrong!
I went for a wild camp on Beacon Hill and talked about Gentleman Jack along the way.
I take a walk around Shibden Hall and surrounding Estate and talk about some of the colourful characters including Anne Lister aka Gentleman Jack of olden day Halifax Plus an attempted wild camp at Beacon Hill overlooking the town of Halifax.
This wild camp was definitely Wild Camping Gone Wrong!
Let me know if you've ever had a wild camp go wrong in the comments. I'd love to hear your stories.

I was wild camping in Rendlesham forest Suffolk back in the 80's and was just settling down for the night when a strange humming sound that sounded a bit like Hip Hop ( but played on a faulty subwoofer ) seemed to emanate from the earth all around me.The sound whirred and clattered with changing intensity and appeared to modulate in pitch and timbre and lasted for what felt like an eternity.I have developed a coping strategy for dealing with stressful events - i usually clean my teeth - a mundane activity can distract the troubled mind and offer comfort and solace.It was only when i reached in to my rucksack that i discovered the source of the sound - i had inadvertently packed my electric toothbrush in an empty biscuit tin and it had mysteriously switched itself on and was buzzing around - it's movement being assisted by the remnants of damp toothpaste on the bristle head.
Just got to walk Mr Twiglet the Jack Russell so instant gratification might be elusive ? Read following for background info ( short for information )
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-54649675
As it grew darker i had a sense of dread and foreboding that things were not as they should be and i stuck my head out of the tent and a soliloquy from Hamlet came to mind.....
’Tis now the very witching time of night
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world. Now could I drink hot blood
And do such bitter business as the day
Would quake to look on.
But i was out of hot blood so made do with some Horlicks.
During the endlessly long night which eventually did end i awoke to an alarming site - my whole body was covered with what looked like ink stamp number 8's which i believe happened when they used a tractor beam - like the ones in Star Trek - beamed me up to their craft and for some reason ink stamped me ? Anyway,believe it or not this have left me feeling completely ALIENATED !
How far a hike is that?
@@udrinkit A very good question Rich T - that takes the biscuit and drives many people crackers for an answer.In terms of how far is it to hike ? Would that be for yourself,myself or the Aliens ? Also in terms of distance we need to factor in how long the legs are - stride length etc AND payload being a contributor in perception of distance.For example i'm quite short - naked,in summer and carrying a medium size fridge freezer would be different to mid winter wearing an Everest grade down suit,map,compass,marmalade sandwich and a plentiful supply of Kendal Mint Cake.
I can't speak for the Aliens although most of them appear to speak English with an American accent and are either cute and with googly eyes,smallish ears and are affable - or have an unhealthy obsession with destroying mankind and have green goo emanating from all of their orifices.
PS oh crumbs, hope it's not too claustrophobic living in a biscuit barrel
Hope that's helpful.
What did say or ask to piss you off? Just asked how long a hike meaning walk was it to the campsite. Smh. What's offensive about that question?
@Doves It was the site of a USAF airbase called Bentwaters and the UFO sighting made the national news back in the 80's but for paranormal activity you want Borley Rectory which is near Sudbury, Suffolk and was described as the most haunted house in England en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borley_Rectory
Yes confusion can be confusing sometimes Doves but at the time i was composing my latest rap piece about the paranormal - it's called Toast.......If you feel daunted cos your house is haunted make friends with your ghost and make it some toast - spread it with jam or Grizzly Gaz Spam - set your spirit free - wash it right down with 't nice cuppa tea .......if you chant that as an incantation for a few hours with a metal galvanized bucket on your head - lined with custard - the effect can be quite striking ( plastic buckets don't resonate at the same frequency ) so clearly my perception of Hip Hop had been compromised.Some have tried it and gone completely mad but the custard acts as a moderator to keep the mind in touch with the mundane ( and you can pause and lick it off if you get peckish ) and facilitates thoughts about bananas,for example - banana and custard - which doesn't get a look in when it comes to paranormal events.Sorry for the confusion.Thanks for seeking clarification.
@Doves Well Blancmange,although equally effective,is much more difficult to make Doves.Stick with custard - you can't go wrong !
I didn’t realize how much I miss England until I started watching your videos. The beauty of the land and how beautifully green everything is just brings back so many memories. Thank you for these videos and sharing your lovely pup with us. She certainly is a character. Stay safe and thank you once again.
That was a FASCINATING historical lesson...Im from the USA and LOVE to hear the history of the UK. Thanks for sharing that!
You are very welcome! I love to learn about the places I go to and to show it to you guys. You may enjoy some of my other videos, Especially the ones in the 'hidden history' playlist 👍
There's never a dull moment in life with Fendy at your side! Love the adventures that the two of you go on together.🤗♥️
So true!
Fendy cracks me up you can see her sliding down the hill in the back ground 😂😂😂 she’s a funny one 😂😂
Loved this episode. The history stories are so entertaining and informative. I laugh out loud at Fendi’s antics. Thank you!!
Your very welcome!
When ever it snowed when I was a kid, we used to go to Shibden to sledge down the big hill. We spent hours there trudging back up then whizzing down towards the boating lake...happy memories!
Is no one gonna mention the dog dragging herself against the grass 1.15 🤣🤣🤣 love it
Haha she was a slug in her past life! 😜 She does this in every video too 🤣
Ha ha ha 😂 a slug 🤣 she is a very well behaved pooch 👍
@@keeponcrafting9566 needs to be for the adventures we go on 👍
Lol I’ve seen her do that before she’s having a wow of a time ❤️💕🇦🇺🐨🐨🇦🇺
I can’t figure out the dog is humping the ground or not.
Fendy!!!!!😂 What a Hoot! Love your dog❤. I loved the history. Thank you for releasing the video.
Thank you for the adventure! I kept finding myself on the edge of my chair, the scenery was breathtaking. Sorry your trip was a disappointment for you but, again thank you for showing me a place I might otherwise have never seen and telling great stories to o with it.
You're welcome Nancy
you have a beautiful country, amazing history, sorry your campout turned out bad, poor fendys little body must have been sore from that hike..
I love gentleman jack, thank you so much for her history..
keep up the great videos, and take care of that little girl.. she is a true pal, and I just love to see her in your vids.
thank you again, from Oregon, U.S.A.
Your welcome! And thank you for your kind words 😍
Beautiful chill out music Really suits the scenery 👌
Thanks Debra 👌
Great show and story telling, such a shame about the factory noise, bloody typical I still loved it sorry you had to go home, say hi to the little one for me and please take care of yourselves, hope to see you soon AkA Night owl from Luton 🇬🇧💯🍻👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Funny seeing thindle doing a bit of tobogin sliding down the hill.
Incredible how to stay calm in these situations. Your dog is the best.
Thank you Juan
Oh Gaz what a way to end your video. All the same we love Gentleman Jack, we are getting ready to watch the last series, Love your video's and the History about the area that you're in. Great Job.
Well Gaz, just spent a thoroughly enjoyable night with you! Not a wink of sleep has been had 😴 It's almost half seven and can't decide between staying awake or having a kip before trying to get Peter Kay tickets, starting at ten a.m.
Love the channel and Fendi is absolutely beautiful. I've got a one year old German Shepherd, she's several handfuls. Keep doing what you're doing, it's fascinating 😘
Thanks Jackie. Hope you get some tickets. I've heard there was a massive queue at Ticketmaster
Starting to enjoy these videos.should do some more haunted woods 👍
This is the best History lesson ever! I wish my teacher was as interesting as this when I was at school lol 😂👌🏼
Awwww thanks mate! Everyday is school day here 😜
Thanks so much for taking us along on another great history lesson and wonderful views. Sorry it had to end that way for you. Better trip next time.
You're welcome 👍
That noise could smash wine glasses 🙉😁
Very beautiful! Love the history!
Thank you Angela
Fendy cracked me up at the start sliding down the hill! lol
You did right going home, I could hear that noise and it did my head in. Not only that you'd already packed away most of your things, it was the right choice to make. I'm newish to your videos and really enjoying catching up on all your camping expedition's. So keep doing them, and I love the funny moments that are in there, you'll know which I'm talking about. 🤣 So please carry on making them and I'll look forward to seeing some more. 😊🐾
Gosh you sure go to some epic, lovely places. I'm jealous 😫. Good on you. Lovely dog too, loves you to bits ❤Cheers from NZ🙋♀️👍🥰
Thanks Belinda 👍
@@GrizzlyGaz NO, Thank you! You're stuff is amazing! You are showing parts of England I would LOVE to see! NZ Has some beautiful places too. Gotta go now, getting back to YOUR vid's.👍😁
🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely beautiful landscapes
It certainly is 👍
One man and his dog with a bit of history thrown in - great videos 😊👍
Cheers Donna
Amazing, you just brought to life these characters from our history. Thankyou so much. Liked Subscribed
You're very welcome 👍
I love your history camps I have to say I love this site I've stopped watching 3 others because they was boring as hell, keep up the fantastic videos take care and stay safe
Thank you so much. I'm glad I keep your attention 👍
So interesting hearing about the history of the places you visit. I have read Anne Listers diary and thought it was an interesting account of what it was like in those times, as well as the intrigue of the parts she wrote in code. Countess sluggula was on top form as always 😃Don't feel bad about going home early, these thing happen, it was an enjoyable vid :)
Glad you liked it! 👌
You and your beautiful dog remind me of me and my amazing cat Brian, he sleeps with us in bed at night just like a human and was constantly by my side when my mum died back in 2015. He chose us as his humans in June 2015 bless him.
They do choose us don't they 😍
Thats an ultrasonic soundwave of some sort. Terrible. Its like someone didn't want you camping there.
I get that feeling everywhere I camp! 🤣
@@GrizzlyGaz bigfoot use infrasound waves to disorentate people,it creates confusion,sickness,flight or fight feelings. Always trust your gut feeling mate.If it dont feel right something is usually happening. High strangeness and bigfoot usually go hand in hand.
Thank You for the fascinating history lesson & a beautiful view below. I could not camp near the edge like that, my plump butt would be sure to fall off! I have to use ear plugs to sleep because I have insomnia & my own farts will wake me! They may have saved the camping for you? Stay Frosty Gaz! Much Love & Hugs from Kansas, USA
🤣🤣🤣
Great video. That sounds like a very loud industrial vacuum with a hole in the hose, lol .great videos. I love your pup he is adorable.
Thank you! 🤩
Awwww 🥰glad u guys went home , coz if it happened again lol you may have lost ur rag or bust out cryin 😂no serious , that was a clear sign to pack up , still enjoyed it , you guys have loads of content ur spoilin us . That was time to be in a comfortable place until ur next adventure .

Just found your channel, love the history lesson as well as the scenery.
You're welcome 👍
Just found your channel couple days ago, been watching some of your videos, I'm hooked now, I like seeing the sencery, and the camping you do. Thanks for the awesome content. Hello from New Zealand.
Thanks Jay! I do try to show you guys everything that I'm seeing 👀
Thank you for taking me to beutiful and wonderous places I'll never get to visit. We have places like that here in the U.S. but there is certain draw to a foreign land.
Thank you for watching! 👍
love the adventures, history , and Fendy ,thank you
My pleasure
Love to hear the history of the places you visit. Thank you ❤
You're welcome
Just came across your channel, binge watching your vids, cheers from the Philippines 🇵🇭
How are you watching this video? It's not live yet 🤣
@@GrizzlyGaz lol idk, I’m saw it there’s a buzzing noise u encountered then at the end u were pointing out landmarks, then u kept saying “don’t know what to
Do”
@@Nocturnal808 yes that's the video but it's not live yet!?! 🤷🏼♂️ Haha anyway. I hope you enjoyed the video and my content 👍
Excellent history. Thanks
Our pleasure!
Great vid Gaz, think anyone would've bailed with that noise going on, still I think it's your best video to date, going from strength to strength mate 👍👍 can smell the merch coming from here 😂😂
Haha thanks Mick! They do say you first 100 videos are crap so I've only got another 60 to go until they're good 😜
I was watching your video and hubby came to see what the noise was. He said it pierced his brain at the other end of the house with the tv on. Geez. Don't blame you for leaving. Video was just about done anyway. I enjoyed it.
It wasn't just me that the noise annoyed then!? 🤣
That is beautiful country you took us through.
Glad you enjoyed it
This was a wonderful Vlog, it’s a shame about the noise I think I’d of just re pitched the tent and gone back to sleep but everyone to their own.
Loved the history and the views. Thank you so much for taking the time to share. Totally loving your channel 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Been re-watching some of your earlier videos. Beautiful scenery, awesome history. Pulled out a couple videos of a visit to London and surrounding area. It was so beautiful back in the 80's, and I am sadden to see the state of it today.
Love hearing all the history in this one! Beautiful place. Thanks Griz! I watch on my TV and then come on my phone to like and comment . 🇨🇦👋
Thank you!
It sounded to me like an anti vandalism alarm, which can be set off by someone over cctv. I wonder if someone saw you and thought you were upto no good so they aimed it at your tent and set it off, as soon as you started packing up they turned it off.
Maybe?!? Not sure any CCTV is pointed up on that cliff though?
Love that you mentioned Sunny Bunces. Had many of good times there. 🥰
I'll probably do a video on sunny bounces in the future 👌
Absolutely loved this! Just brilliant content, learned something new! New subscriber and can’t wait to binge watch all your content xx
I saw Gentleman Jack, a couple years ago,...it is a good watch.
UK is so lush and Green. Your Country is Beautiful. Looks a lot like NW United States.
We're a little more north than the states. But yes it's very green and wet 🤣
Great vid mate. That noise would have made me wanna jump straight off the edge 😬😬😬
Yeah I wound me up so much pal!!! 🤬
Another lovely place. 👍👍👍🙏🙏💕
Great film mate, I live not far away, just the other side of Bradford, and found your history of the Shibden Hall area fascinating!
Shame about the pointless and annoying noise from that industrial unit, it could have been a great spot to camp. Better luck next time!
Thank you.
Check out my other videos for more history lessons 😜 plus my upcoming vids 🤣
If ever there was a perfect camping companion you be it! another awesome episode mate keep safe 🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it
Again, very nice video with some interesting places, stories and awesome views!
👍
This is wonderful. Thank you. x
You're welcome 👍
Just found your channel and I'm making my way through your videos, really really enjoying them. Love that you give so much info about places you visit. I'm hoping to move to Sowerby Bridge in the next year and your videos are showing me loads of places I want to go and have a hike round x
Love your dog. A real ghost buster. Your videos are really enjoyable and you do chose different kind of places to camp at. Spooky 👻 places which makes them very interesting. It kinda makes one really look for the unexpected. Here in South Africa we have our haunted forests. One is in Dhlinza forest where the Mpushini falls and Bishops seat can make one's arm hairs rise. Actually this country has many haunted towns. It's strange how we're attracted to these places isn't it. But...I waffle! Have awesome adventures and 🍻 cheers and many more. There's more to life than we see. Pat your sturdy brave pooch for me. I love dogs. We had 7 but now have 4. Our beautiful other 3 are chasing clouds in the happy hunting ground. 😢
Thank you for sharing
This, as well shows such beauty and watching you have fun is very good! I also like the fact you put terror into the videos, thank you!
Love your camping vids Griz
Please keep them coming.
Will do
loved the stories ,,bit near the edge there weren,t you mate ..keep em coming
I love on the edge pal 😜
That noise sounds like one of the drivers in those huge security lights, the sodium lights used to do it when they were going bad.
Thanks for the info 👍
Outstanding story love the history. Well done sir.
Glad you enjoyed it
your country is so beautiful. castles that giants built, knights and what a history. you and silly lil puppy are fun to adventure with.
🤣🤣🤣
I would of LOVED to have done this one with you 🤩
I’m a massive history geek... also if that was the garden of Eden should of worn just a fig leaf 🍁😉😂
Another Awesome video .. massive love to Fendi ❤️🐾
Cheers Gavin! 👌 Maybe I'll need the fig leaf for my next wild swim 😜
@@GrizzlyGaz Yesss 🙌🏽 Video of that please 😍
Haha will be out next weekend 😜
Where will you place the fig leaf??🤔
Love your videos soothing informative and id love to do this ..doggies a good friend to you! Sweet
Thanks Sally
Most welcome i have a channell aswell sally marie wright check it out
@@GrizzlyGaz i do haunted please take a look 🙂 love what you do
Fab Video, and the shots of Beacon Hill torch on fire were particularly stunning, never seen it alight before. All the history was interesting too, John Mitchell of Scout Hall and his flying machine that went wrong and the chap Jonathan Walsh with his litigation mania and seemingly whipping people he disliked (clergy in particular) while on his mule? what the!! Bones end up on display and then they get kicked in by the drunk locals? hahaha
Seems Anne Lister hit some bad luck then with a tick bite leading to an early end to her life.
First time I came on Beacon Hill and saw Halifax below, it felt like being on Top of The World, everything looked so tiny below, like a toy town. Great stuff as we say.
Cheers Nick! Glad you enjoyed it 👌
Hey Nick. Get in touch via email at grizzlygazuk@gmail.com so we can liaise about adventures and share knowledge if you want? I can also send you photos/places to visit and books with maps to study if you like? You'll be getting a shout out in my next hike/camp video buddy. Love your vids. Keep it up 👌
@@GrizzlyGaz Ok cheers Gaz, i'll send you an email soon. Thanks for the kind words. I've just found your video with Scout Hall and the drone shot of it which was fab.
I still remember the first time I came across Scout Hall by sheer chance just wandering about in Shibden Valley coming down it Southwards and it just appeared on the right (derelict at the time). I was well intrigued by it. I almost felt like some great explorer making a discovery! hahaha (though very well known to all the local historians whom I eventually discovered on a google search). Always something extra special finding/visiting a ruin or landscape for the first time. You know you'll be back again later.
The ruin known as Upper Shibden Hall (featured on your scout hall camp video from a distance) is perhaps also being renovated as I noted some footings dug out for potential pipe works on that last visit a few years ago.
On a recent walk through Shibden Valley with a friend I noticed the derelict Yorkshire water board house with an outbuilding close by has since had a new house built over it, complete with Cows herding at the front and new long concrete road/path leading to it. I'll miss the various ruins as they get rebuilt/renovated.
Scout Hall still looks great though. Cheers.
Yes that old Yorkshire water building in the Shibden valley (the one with the old stone carvings at the gate with Halifax co operation water board writings on it) has had a huge mansion built on it plus there's another derelict building close by that looks to be having some work done. They put a new road in there to accommodate it. The upper Shibden hall hasn't been touched since I was last there (around 2yrs ago) and those trenches that have been dug out around it have been like that for years also. Maybe it will have something done to it in the future???
What a lovely place , the house was gorgeous. Get a jiggle on , that’s cute never heard that before . My ex is moving back to the U K soon so I hope one day I will be visiting . 🙏🏻💗
It is a beautiful place 🤩
It's just beautiful. And I can tell you love your little best friend there. She really loves these trips doesn't she ?
Keep it up Gaz! Super vids. Thanks.
Cheers Nathan
It can’t be the original place of the Garden. The Garden was located where the Euphrates and the Tigres rivers conjoined at the top.
hahahahaha giant slug. that was so funny.
😝
She’s so good off leash too!
Both my parents worked at Shibden hall in the late 60's , my dad was a gardner there ;)
Nice! Dream job
I love your videos a much! THANKS! 💕💕💕
Glad you like them!
Yes mate👍🏽
The noise seems to be louder when you point the camera at your tent. How strange.!!!
This was a really good episode. I love all the cool history.
Love hearing your history lessons and your adventures
Thank you
Another amazing vid! Thanks to you and fendi I have company while I go through this new mental health medication. You two really help me 🥰 that stained glass 😲
🤗
Peaceful camp 😂😂😂😂😂 spat my coffee out
Just found your channel and subbed, what a fantastic way to spend your time, you and ya little dog, if I wa 30 years younger your way of getting out and about would suit me down to the ground, I think I'm actually jealous, ah well I'll watch all your videos and dream!!
Awwww mate, I'm so glad you enjoy the vids (and are jealous) 😜
Hope you enjoy the rest of the channel 👍
@@GrizzlyGaz you bet I'm jealous!, I've been camping a few times donkeys years ago, I got rid of the tent when I got rid of the husband!! I'm all for the quiet life now, your little dogs living her best life, she looks like she enjoys every minute of her jaunts with you, keep it up and make the most of every second and keep the videos coming!
@@hendyblue8234 will do hendy 👌
love the lake area around awesome view lovely building looks tudor your campted right near the edge thumbs up for this vid interesting history
Thank you 👍
Lovely old house that.
I live in Southowram and you’ve just taught me some good local history. Keep the videos coming your a good teller and it’s an good watch. 👌
Thanks, will do!
Wow, great views, great history lesson, great video but horrible noise. Lol
Tell me about it
Wow, you're brave in setting up on that cliff...... that made me laugh - ' his skeleton was kicked to pieces by drunkards'! lol ....
🤪
Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you so much for taking us on these adventures. I would love to follow you around while learning the history behind these places . Eagerly awaiting the next adventure!! Much love as always from Jacksonville Florida ❤️
Plenty more on my channel 👍
Radio transmitter interference someone is playing games lol like trying to scare you . Thanks for sharing.
GREAT. CAMPING.
Fendy is just adorable! 💖💖💖💖
Just found you....I'm hooked. Bonus...easy on the eyes🤗
You're too kind heather! 🤩
Seems a bit of a dangerous place to camp with a 30 feet drop next to you, would of gone on the other side of the wall.
The path under the railway brings u on lister lane near badge lane
Cheers 👍
So beautiful and truly amazing places and fascinating stories of old. Gaz, thank you for sharing your awesome journey with us all. I applaud you as well as appreciate your time and dedication. I have always camped both solo and with family since I was young. I became a serious hiker and rock climbing became my passion. I had already gone to many places, states and National parks to do it all, camping , hiking and climbing. However, it has all just about come to an absolute abrupt end for me as I am now fighting cancer. My passion now taken, my hopes are gone, and my body now weakened by High Dose Internal -131 Radiation treatment. It has kicked my butt to put it nicely. I am crushed far beyond words can ever say. I suppose I can still camp since it is a way of resting, restoring and relaxing my mind and body. So you and Fendy keep Climbing Up for me, your thankful friend from America. Gaz….Live Fully And Embrace Every Single Day, for nothing is ever wasted. Be well, be safe and may our Lord Bless all of your days! M
Thank you for your kind words. Stay strong 💪
Liked Listening to the history stories of Ann Lister . places id like to visit Shipton and Halifax
Get on it!
hey Gaz, the camping and exploring started off great'' its just bloody typical of the alarm going off! its just unfortunate camping near industrial sites you neve know what's going to happen.
nothings worse than having to pack away in the middle of the night. sorry this happened to you buddy. i bet this mistake is the last😵💫
yes i agree camping is all about getting away from humans lol and industrial buildings.
bless you both. be safe out there gaz.
👍👍👍👍👍THUMBS UP👍👍👍👍👍
Anthony, Derby
Thanks Anthony
