- The plan was simple. Walk around the Rock of Gibraltar. However, this walk is not permitted. Would I be able to complete the walk? Could I be arrested?

Arrest this man (for making excellent videos) Everything from concept, filming, editing to title and thumbnail were top notch. Really enjoyable stuff mate!
It was great fun, but I really must stop crossing that line. Remember the incident with the Berlin police? 😐
@@PlanesTrainsEverything You're beyond the line now, no way back!!!
@steve-marsh Yeah, I've passed the point of no return. Pre-UA-cam I was a law-abiding, mild-mannered guy just getting on with the daily grind. Now look at me. 😉
@@PlanesTrainsEverything I think both you and Steve are great. Though it's time we saw a re-match of a challenge between you.
I'm 73 years old - have had 2 spine surgeries in the last 6 years and can't walk more than 600 feet. I have been to 65 countries - of course before the ailments - and had hoped to do the kind of exploring you are doing!!! I am living off your adventures. Thank you so much!!
Me too. Let's enjoy these great trips from our chairs and smile. Keep as healthy as you can. X
I have been to 96 countries but don’t boast about it.
Rosia bay was where they towed HMS Victory after the battle of Trafalgar to drop off the wounded and dying. Some of which are buried in the Trafalgar cemetery opposite the South bastion. At the south bastion is a statue of Nelson. Nelson was stored in a barrel of brandy at Rosia bay before being brought back to England.
Loved the video. Brilliant.
The industrial area was the old Naval Base which has been downsized significantly over the past few years.
Rosia Bay is where Lord Nelsons HMS Victory berthed after he will killed in the battle of Trafalgar.
If you go up the Rock you can access the caves, the Great Siege Tunnels are fascinating along with St Michaels Caves.
Hello Neil. You obviously know Gib' well. Tell me- have you seen the film 'The Silent Enemy'? I know it's not terribly accurate but there are a couple of scenes that I haven't quite worked out the location for.
@@derektaylor2941 No I haven't, I will have to look
I worked in the tunnels 1979 - 80, replacing diesel pipes, friends say you can still acccess some of them. Also worked in the dockyard's generating station, and at that time you had to get an army seargent to take you down St Michaels cave. No paths rudimentary lighting but really impressive.
My husband and i walked around the rock twice in recent years, made the walk through thr tunnel once , next time a kindly local stopped at the entrance and offered us a lift to other end. Told us he was a bird watcher and that many types of birds passed over when migrating . We also walked the Mediterranean steps...that was quite a feat ....couldn't do it now!!..... Spent a year in Gibraltar 79/80 while a naval nurse at Royal Naval Hospital loved it.
Scott the Rebel. Thanks for taking us along as accomplices on your somewhat illegal wander.
I used to run around the rock every other day when I was based there in 91/92. At that time you were allowed in the tunnel 7:20 however I walked through it (in 2011) as you did and believe me some of the car drivers left me in no doubt that this wasn't allowed anymore!! and I used to work in the industrial area you started the walk in!! Hope you enjoyed Gib!!
Good job you avoided filming the Naval Base. There are offences under the Crimes Act 2011 in Gibraltar in relation to photographing or filming military sites in Gibraltar. They are designated sites under the Gazette
Added this place as a must visit for next year, thank you for the videos you've done here.
I worked on that industry estate in a warehouse. Setting up a computer system in 1992 for four weeks. Oh my beautiful memories of Gibraltar 🇬🇮
That brought back some memories, lived there for 18 months in the mid 80s. Loved it❤
Hey, loved the videos, I actually live here and had some fun watching your visit. Along with this, you suprised me in showing that we weren't allowed to walk through the tunnel. I've walked through many times and I've never seen that sign! Anyway, if you ever come back, let me know and I'd be more than happy to show you all the cooler places that tourists don't know about. Also, the industrial estate does actually have an access point through a really discrete set of steps, so you didn't have to turn around. But I'm glad you did because the views are much nicer the way you went.
Ah, that's one I'm looking around)) Will need to catch you in touch next year, as I'm very pointed into visiting this rocky city and unique and uncommon places are right the way I need to get in there my company with) Also will need to find a renting spot, as to stay just in a hotel at such a bright of history place is something not worth it...
I have spent many many happy hours wandering around Gibraltar from the waterline to the top of the Rock and have never had any bother!
It’s a very historical and interesting place with hundreds of hidden gems to discover!
Scott, I spilled my coffee when Bevis and Butthead came on! Hilarious. Great video...love your adventures
Rebel Scott now an outlaw in Gib. 🏴☠️🇬🇮
Nice vid. Thanks.
Judas Priest -Breaking The Law
Just watched three of your intrepid Gibraltar adventures in succession and am now subscribed. Many thanks and keep them coming!
It's my dream to visit Gibraltar. That breakfast in the beginning of the video rocks!
Watch out for the Barbary Apes! In 1982 a mother tried to attack me for stroking its baby. I still have a picture of both of them.
I've been to Gibraltar a few times, but today you've shown me places I've never seen. Thanks.
Like the industrial estate?
@@AceCrickey - haha - amongst other places.
New subscriber here and I have to say that this is one great UA-camr 👌
Visited Gib in April last before walking north to Sevilla on the Via Serrana. My time in Gib was limited, so I missed all the places you show here. Definitely a second visit required. Thanks for the inspiration and for this really good video.
Great to see more of Gibraltar it is a nice place to visit and of course
it has the most beautiful scenery, i really enjoyed seeing Gibraltar and
have a great week thank you.👋🇬🇧
Another great watch, cheers Scott. Some beautiful spots BUT ... as you said last time out, there's still "something" missing. I do love the definitely-not-a-TFL-roundel "G" on the bus stops!
Really enjoyed watching Scott. Safe travels
Scott now has an Interpol arrest warrant issued on him for that audacious crime of tunnel walking.
😂😂
The Monkeys are the police but they up high by the skyline for free food
You wouldn't break any laws on the Isle of Man. They jail you for looking sideways there. Seriously, they jail people for everything there. It's a lot to do with having a greater capacity jail than they'll ever need.
It has been done before by me and my hubby! That was when you could actually walk through the tunnel! Long long time ago!
Thanks Scott, living on the edge 👏
Top spec video 👍🏻 The full English looked scrumptious. Unique off piste trip around the Rock with not a single ape !
Great video, I worked in the tunnels 1979 - 80, replacing diesel pipes, friends say you can still acccess some of them. Also worked in the dockyard's generating station, that's the industrial bit and at that time you had to get an army seargent to take you down St Michaels cave. No paths rudimentary lighting but really impressive.
I look at videos of Gib on here, as you say they are all much the same, except for this one. Great stuff, brought back memories for me, thx!
That was fascinating,Scott. Well played.
7:00 - I haven't heard a fog horn for years ! As a child I used to lay in bed listening to them off the Goodwin Sands ....... and then before I knew it, it was time to get up for school again !
As ever Scott refreshing and unique content, showed parts of Gibraltar many don’t get to see.
just found your Gib and Malaga videos. Nice to watch (you have a pleasant manner and also do things of interest to me like visiting and comparing supermarket prices. So I don't turn off) and reminisce of places I've been too and would like to re-visit. But haven't the time or money too.
I stayed at The Bristol when I visited Gib back in ‘94. Very centrally placed for exploring.
My wife and I stayed at the Bristol when visiting Gibraltar in 2014. It's very oldy worldy with wood panelling on all the walls and it looks like it hasn't been decorated since the early 70s. But there is a certain charm to the place. We were married at the cathedral and had our reception at the Caleta, which was a wonderful place, now sadly demolished.
In Scott's Foot steps! definite on my bucket list now!
That was a great video Scott. It must have been a lot of work. Really enjoyed it.🙂
Thanks for the interesting video. I went on holiday to Gibraltar many times during the 80s and 90s and was able to stay with a friend from student days who worked there as a teacher. One day we did decide to walk through that tunnel but in the opposite direction. However, we did get stooped by a policeman on a motorbike just after we emerged from the tunnel. He asked a few questions about who we were and why we were there. He soon let us continue on our way although he claimed that it could be dangerous to walk through because of poisonous fumes.
Yes agood video enjoyed this, thank you for sharing this
Fantastic walkabout in Gibraltar! Thanks for sharing!
What an interesting place. I’ve wanted to visit there as well as go to Morocco. Thanks for posting, Scott. Safe travels. Cheers
Outstanding video. I have been there seven times ( six with Navy, once on holiday) . I saw more in your video than I did all the times I went there. Great work. I am a subscriber...
There's obviously more to Gib than the donkeys flipflop😁
Great video, Scott. I got a bit lost in a car there and found myself driving down a pedestrianised street. Several locals were quite concerned that I would get told off if I went any further and helped me turn around !!
Great video- when I was a child in Gib, Europa point was just the lighthouse!
Never had any inclination to visit Gibraltar but watching the couple of videos you made has changed that. Will be there at some point. Cheers Scott.
Scott the rebellious Scot. The 'breaking the law' reference had me laughing out loud every time. A great video, as always, Sir.
Hi Scott,
Great video! It reminded me of when I was in Gibraltar back in 2012 and decided to rent a bike to cycle all around Gibraltar. Basically, I did the same thing as you, but on a bike. I can't quite remember if it was also forbidden to cycle through the tunnel on the eastern side of the Rock, so maybe there's still an arrest warrant out for me in Gibraltar.
I also cycled across the runway and crossed the border into Spain. I turned around immediately, cycled back over the runway, and did a loop through the harbor area, just so I could say I crossed Gibraltar from north to south and from west to east. I think I was back after just over an hour, haha.
Soemthing i learnt in Gibraltar was mountains you can see in Morroco represent the second pillar of Hercules thefjrdt begin in Gibraltar. Great video Scott
4:14 that tunnel is amazing
thank you,really enjoying your videos
Good video, thank you for sharing
Great video! I was there a few days before you for my 6th visit. Europa Point is a favourite spot of mine, being able to see Morocco and Spain, and the cafe does lovely food. There are a couple of places in the video that I've never been to before, and I'm going to make sure I do on the next visit, Rosia Bay looked nice!
Another great video. Your videos have helped me through my mental health! I always look forward to your travel documentaries ❤..
Glad to find I'm not the only person who has found that the dock road is a dead end!
Brilliant video, hope all is well, take care
Scott... i beat you to it on this one! Did this walk with a mate of mine but in the opposite direction back in february. We got to the tunnel entrance and ummed and ahhed about going in then a bus pulled up and we asked the driver if anyone would mind us walking through the tunnel and he said go for it, no-one will care! People do it from time to time.
We do it all the time.
I visited Gibraltar but stayed at La Linear . I crossed over using the runway route a few days but one day decided to swim round from the beach on the Spanish side. There’s a wire fence that goes into the sea for a few meters. I landed on the beach but noticed a jeep with 4 gentlemen in uniforms driving at some speed towards me. I took that as my queue to swim back. A pretty stupid thing to do, so you can be forgiven for your tunnel trespass.
Great video for all those who want to visit gibraltar do it you will be hooked its a fa static place
Living on the wild side! Well done
Great vid Scott, I did the less energetic version. Caught the Number 2 Bus from Bus Station to Europa Point then walked to the tunnel, waited and hitchhiked through. I carried on the walk to Sandy Bay ( Both Worlds) and then caught the Number 4 Bus back to the Bus Station. Two Things 1) Less Energetic and 2) Legal. Cheers my friend
Really interesting. Great coffee break entertainment.
Great Video 👍👍That’s what you call exploring the Island 👍👍Nice One 👍👍
It's not an island.
You can't beat a bit of anarchy now and again, great video Scott 👍 You have yourself a new subscriber 😊
Thanks Scott for a very interesting trip around Gib! You are smarter than Steve wearing a white shirt in heat!
Thank you for risking your freedom to complete the challenge.
Fantastic footage of the rock and some excellent sea views, thank you. However, you'll have to go back as you missed eastern beach and the little beach opposite - forgot its name - on the side of the runway nearest to the border crossing ;-) Would recommend you get a white or at least a light coloured cap too, it is important to keep the brain cool. You may find your walks less tiring. Loved your other Gib videos too, BTW, thumbs up on all of them.
Thank you for taking us along 👍
I have ran through Dudley Ward tunnel on a number of occasions, rarely am I the only person in there. I have even had the police drive past. I always tend to go early when it is quiet as the fumes are not pleasant due to the lack of extraction. You went the right way round as it is downhill through the tunnel in that direction.
A different aspect Scott, but thanks for risking a fine. Some good views en route.
Great stuff scott I was waiting for cops too be at the end of tunnel 😂😂 enjoyed cheers 🍻
Sad to see that the caleta hotel is no longer there. Many happy memories.
Cool video mate, loved it 😄
I used to work at Ambos Mundos on Sandy Bay in 1972. I worked at the dockyard later. The beach had no groins back then and the sand was a much lighter colour.
PS I also spent a brief time at the Balfour Beatty plant in Paisley.
...this was fun, Scott, especially with that 'air of illegality' 😎...I wonder why that one tunnel wasn't permitted for pedestrians, as all the others were...?! Maybe it was too long in terms of inhaling fumes from the cars? However - you survived it!
Gibraltar somehow gives me the creeps, and yes of course, its also fascinating. I think I would feel a bit locked in, and the overall feeling of luxury, with expensive properties and having your own yacht, is not really my world of peeps... but a visit could be nice! 😄
I've taken the same route many a time, albeit in the opposite direction. I never could understand why there was no pedestrian access on a peninsula so small. it's a perfect route for an evening walk.
I had a 3 week stay at Gib a couple of years ago courtesy of the RFA. The dead end you walked into along the dockyard does have a way out, but it isn't obvious. I love those old dockyard buildings. So much nicer than their modern equivalent would be.
I swam at Rosia bay every night, around 2100, just as it was getting dark. No cosy required then! Got stung by a jelly one night. (Vinegar and hot water to the rescue!)
Plus, I cycled around the rock, through that tunnel and did see walkers, so not sure how strictly it's enforced.
I thought that you might have pointed out the ramp where they used to push old cars into the sea.
And, finally, I did also cycle to the top of the Rock.
Yes, I enjoyed it.
LG.
We stayed in that aparment block on Sandy Bay a few years back it used to be a hotel but is now all apartments
Can you review your hotel please. There doesn’t seem to be a huge selection of hotels and so be good to know if Bristol Hotel is any good. BTW you are doing wonders for the Gibraltar tourist industry as we are intending to go based on your video and I have seen similar comments. 😂😊
That was nice. Lol. Thank you Scott
Interesting video. Thanks for making it.
Gibraltar is on my bucket list. Would have liked to have gone with you on your walk.
Wonderful stuff. I like Steve M a lot, but I'd rather have you as a travelling companion and we are about the same age.
Mate, of course you can go through the tunnels in the Rock. They're one of the main tourist attractions. It's a bit of a hike getting up there, though, however you can get the cable car most of the way there.
Looks like a lovely place. I shall try to visit bar the tunnel and ind est 😅
I too love tunnels. 🤎🖤
The lady at 12:29 looks around at everything but yourself, no one going past seems to see you there, it looks so much like a CGI background 😂😂😂
Love your videos dude lucky in Spain 🇪🇸 wish I was there you get that awesome healthy glow down there which the English sun does nothing
Great stuff.
Nice to see that breakfast is allowed
Great video Scott, I went there about 2012 they were filming an episode of BBC series New Tricks and they were advertising for "extras" though i didn't participate, turned out to be 2 episodes
I love Gib. It's a strange place - it has the atmosphere of a little town in Kent but one that's sitting in a Mediterranean climate. It's difficult to describe the incongruity if you haven't been there...
more like a town on the edge of Cornwall?
Agree - that's it - I did think it felt familiar and its because it reminds me of Chatham!
@@The_Jeffski yes exactly, a working town (rather than a seaside resort) but somewhere a bit classier than Dover😄 I really think it's worth visiting Gib, there really is nowhere like it.
I stayed in the Caleta Hotel which was in the southern part of that bay you liked. I even had a couple of lunches in the eatery near the beach. They've demolished it now and,I believe they are building another hotel and some houses.
5:56 wow what a find. Never knew this tunnel was there.
Excess water?!? Really enjoyed this, thank you.
We did the same, gave us a little anxiety, but it was worth it.
i was at the rock in 1987 with army back in the day no civilian cars were allowed to drive through tunnels only military vehicles you had to show pass to get through i remember sandy bay 👌
Well done Scott - you rebel !! :) Glad you stuck to your guns !
Another great video Scott
Your back in the UK now, but of course you can go up in the tunnels overlooking the airport. You have been able too for a long time, for 50/60 years plus now!
Great Video Scott
Interesting tour of Gibraltar. ❤
