The Yorkshire town that DOESN’T exist
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2023
- Welcome to the official start of our big Yorkshire Tour. We decided to visit the most Northern seaside town of god's own county, Redcar but got side tracked by a light house we had seen on google. What we found was one of the strangest places we've ever seen with lots of off grid campers parked all over the road. After this we took a trip to the prettiest Yorkshire town of them all, Staithes.

I've seen you guys get a lot of criticism in the comments, but personally I love your videos.
The energy and honesty in them is refreshing, it's great to see good people enjoying life. Thank you for sharing.
Helllooo. Thank you for watching and your kind message. We hope to bump into you out on the road 👍👍
Fun fact. Your visit to South Gare was the location of a movie I worked on earlier this year. It's called 'Jackdaw'. We also filmed in between those wind turbines out at sea. Very cold and windy 😮
Hi Paul. We love love this fact!!!
Will look to watch that, it was a fascinating place.
Thank you very much for watching our video (watch this space for our movie 🤣🤣)
Have a great day
That’s cool. I’ve worked at South Gate a few times the last year or so, been in the lighthouse installing kit. Knew it was a special location when I went there.
Loved the video footage and music at the end. Really atmospheric. Absolutely cracking video guys.
Hi Nina. Thank you so much. Andy says it’s all in the drone 😀😀
Have a great Sunday
You find the wildest of places but it is beautiful ❤ thank you for sharing I really enjoy your channel, and glad your leg is finally on the mend ❤
Hey. This was a very wild place… and fantastic!! A great little stop.
We are delighted you like our little channel. Thank you for watching us
Awwww so pleased you came to my neck of the woods, but gutted I missed you! Keep doing what you are doing x
Hi Ruth - Next time!
We loved it, really enjoyed our time here. Have a fabulous week
What lovely, peaceful music to accompany your gentle Vlog.
Hi thanks for watching. 👍
Another brilliant video , we're really enjoying these . 👍
Hi Clive, Thank you for watching us. So delighted you enjoy the videos and we’ve got loads more coming 😀
Great to see Staithes. You have reminded me how beautiful it is. Must get back there soon, So much to see, so little time. Really loved the drone shots with mood music accompaniment. Very Frederico Felliniesque I thought, expected the last shot to be Claire riding into the sunset on a 1950's Lambretta. Great stuff. We went to Spurn Point last week which must be the most easterly point in Yorkshire. That's a very otherworldly place too.
Keep taking the tablets. Stay cool Cx 😎❤
Hi there Chris,
We had a great time up in that coastline. We felt that Staithes deserved those pretty shots at the end. Spurn Point here we come!!
Hope you are well. Must catch up soon 🚐
Stay cooler 😎👋😀
Great video guys, great location, will have to visit..... many thanks Jack
Hi Jack, Yes it’s definitely worth a visit. We were surprised 🚐 Thanks for watching our video 👍
What a lovely place , fab video, thanks x
Hey, glad you liked it. Great place!
Love the music over the staiths drone footage. 👍💖
Hi. Thank you for watching our video. We loved Staithes and thought it deserved some beautiful music
Have a great evening
Wow that footage and music at the end was very atmospheric and moody , like a Hollywood blockbuster, thought I’d gone onto Netflix , 👍🏼👍🏼
Steven Spielberg might be out of a job……..!! 😂 😂
Fab. I was planning an overnight at the Station Inn. As always, inspiring me to get out. Thanks both.
Hi. Thanks for watching our video.
We had such a fab time and enjoyed our find. We hope you get out and explore
Glad your on the mend Andy, clare your so funny 👍👍off to cambridge camc site on Friday 😊
Hellloooo there, We are interested in that exact site so let us know if there is a pub you can walk to 😂
PS Yes its tough being the funny one 😂 😂 😂
loved the drone shots with the music!👌
Hi Colin, We agree and really happy we got that drone. It really adds dimension and Staithes was just gorgeous
The south gare is owned by pd ports but has allways been open to the public,was lovely yrs ago but the amount of campervans there now is ridiculous
Hi. We didn’t know this place existed and literally just fell upon it looking for the lighthouse.
It was very busy, maybe 60 vans were there.
Have a great evening and thank you for watching our video 😃
What you were driving past was the remains of a blast furnace at the begging of the vlog. The steel for Sydney harbour bridge was made there. You're right in my neck of the woods. I live about 8 miles from there. Another cracking vlog guys....
Hi John. How are you?
We weren’t sure if we were allowed down the road and when we got to the the end we enjoyed our time there. Had a great feel.
Happy Sunday
Enjoyed your vid.
Thanks.
Hi, thanks for watching! ☀️
Lovely footage of Staithes, never been there but became aware of it as i believe it's where they filmed some of the outside shots for the old BBC childrens programme "Old Jack's Boat" with the late Bernard Cribbins. I must travel up country and see these lovely places! Great video.
Hi. Thank you for watching our video. Yes I think it was, it’s a beautiful and quaint little place small and perfectly formed. Have the best day ☀️
Thanks, really enjoyed watching. "The Cod & Lobster" that's a terrific name for a harbour pub!
Hi, It was a great, traditional pub 🏝️ We are really happy you enjoyed it
Second time in two days I've seen the pub as By the Curb uploaded from there yesterday.
I'm definitely taking that as a sign and I'm on no bleeding diet lol.
It’s a great pub with an even greater view!!!!
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Thanks for that, hope to visit it sometime.
If you were there a couple of years ago you'd have seen an abandoned blast furnace.
👍
Love Staithes , and Robin Hoods Bay ❤️
Hi. We do as well, both are super beautiful
Thank you for watching our video
Cant beat Yorkshire simply the best. Great Watch thank you. 💯💯💯
😀😀😀
South Gare is amazing isn't it. We went there for breakfast after spending the night in a car park in Saltburn (we know how to live). We were almost put off by all those intimidating signs as you drive in but we persisted and it was well worth it. A strange and beautiful van-world. When I saw all those green huts I remembered watching someone paint them in an episode of Landscape Artist of the Year. Odd choice. They could have painted the blast furnace...
Hi there, We have been enjoying you travels, you’ve had some fab stopovers!
That was exactly the same as us, at first we were not sure if we were allowed but after seeing other cars/ vans thought we would take a punt. Great location and yes a strange and beautiful van world!! 🚐 🚐 Enjoy your week ☀️
Loved the ending 🥰
😍😍😍😍
It's great to see Yorkshire people on UA-cam
By eck, it is
Thanks for watching us
I've not been to Staithes for a while however it still looks lovely and I think ile have yo pay it a visit!😁💜✌️
Hi. Claire here. I had never been and recommend a little trip. It’s a beauty!
Have a great day and thanks for watching our video
8:58 It's not all the area over there. A big chunk of that are the towns on the other side of the Tees; North Gare, Seaton Carew and Hartlepool.
Hi. Thanks for watching. We had a great time when we went to Seaton Carew
Atonement, cracking slightly sad WW2 film.... Another lovely Vlog... Must try up there, we've done Northumberland.
Hello. A fab little camper spot, that we just ventured upon. We hope you manage to go and enjoy 🚐 😃
Visited Staiths a few years ago, we had a scone and tea. My husband remembers it well..... we were charged a fortune for it!! Enjoyed Robin Hoods Bay better, & found a great cafe there. Caro
Hi. We loved Robin Hoods Bay when we visited, we found a lovely cafe too and had a full English breakfast 🤣
Have a great evening
This whole channel feels like a parody with subconscious mickey taking of other channels 😂😂
It’s brilliant!!!
Hi there, 🤷♀️ We don’t know what you could possibly mean 🤷♀️🤣🤣
Glad you like our channel
Beautiful music at the end very we'll put together
Hello. Thank you for watching our video. We loved it too 🥰
Love your adventurous spirit…. Got to be honest, doubt this will be somewhere you’ll ever find us 😮.
APT🐾
🚐 😂🤪
Nice video guys. Really well made 🎉
Hi there. Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching our video. Have the best weekend ☀️
@Stchristopherofatlantis absolutely no problem at all.
I am myself a UA-camr and know how difficult these things are.
Let me know if you would like to do a collab one day as I'm sure my subscribers will also be interested in your content 👍💯
Hi. Ooooooh the life of UA-camrs is a busy one isn’t it. Just found you and appears we have already watched some of your videos, I liked the Carthago!!
What was the music you played at the end . It was lovely! ? Fab vlog x
Hi there, Thanks for watching us
It is called Poem by Jo Wandrini. We wanted something beautiful and landed on that one!! We love it.
Was Andy sat on the loo with that cuppa and toilet biscuit? 😅top vid 👍🏼
Hey
You know it….!!!!! Glad you liked it 🚽 🍪
Hi Guys.
Sorry we haven't commented lately, just back from our mini lakes
tour.
Loved your last two vlogs, the new seat arrangement looks great, not sure on the toilet front 🫣
We have been to staithes lovely quant place.
Could you please make your vlogs a bit longer they are over too soon 😊
PS from our trip the Strickland Arms needs a coat of paint 😂.
Looking forward to the next vlog please keep us smiling.
Glad Andrews OK but we preffered his limp walk 😅
Paul and Joanne 😁🌞
Hi there Guys, How was the trip? Are you back home now and on the countdown for your next trip?
My side of the bed is “very” short in length aka I have to sleep in the foetus position!
We don’t remember the paint job there… few too many Madrid maybe???? 😬
Love to hear you are smiling. Hope to catch up/ bump into you both soon
Take care and thank you for continuing to watch our silly escapades ❤️
@Stchristopherofatlantis
Yes, home now, mile farm in Pocklington in 2 weeks.
It's a pleasure to watch you as you keep it real and funny.
One day we will see you we're sure, keep smiling and vanning 😃
P and J 😁 👍
😊 yeah!
One of the best fish n chips in the area, we're back there next month. Just hanging around near Wales at the moment. Have a great week.
Hi Brian and Jan, how are you and hope you’re enjoying Wales
We missed out on the fish and chips. Boo!!
Red cars not Yorkshire it’s Teeside. Yorkshire starts about another 10/15 miles down
Thanks for watching
oo I love Staithes!
Hi. Happy Friday. We did too 😀
" Nice video and what a lovely location,"... " Well worth a visit"
Hi. Yes if you haven’t been it is worth a trip.
Thank you for watching our video. Have a great evening
Miss world competition has nothing on Yorkshires prettiest slag, i think Keighley had the semi finals…. 😁 oh and south Garry is the security guard who patrols the fence ;) the drone shots made me miss Staithes it’s gorgeous there!! Nicely cinematic 🥰
Hi there, We are laughing very loud at this 😂 😝 😂 we typed out some responses but thought we best not and deleted them!! Hahaha
Glad you liked the drone shots, we felt it was a truly beautiful place and it warranted some time at the end to appreciate it. Have the best week and hows that van of yours getting on?
@@Stchristopherofatlantis haha I’m glad! Booo post them ;) windows are in all the wiring and we tested the aircon this weekend it’s getting there!
As beautiful as it is i wouldn’t be brave enough to fly a drone over the sea!
Brilliant as always , you two seem to find some very interesting places ( south Gare ) . Superb drone footage of the coastal village , thank you . Lots of food and humour as usual 👍Take care 🚐👍
Hellooooo Eric. How are you?
We eats lots of food (eek) and I like to think we are hilarious 😂
Thank you very much for continuing to watch our little videos. We are so happy you do. Have a great week ☀️
I bet we had just missed you. We went there on the Monday 28th and stayed over for the night.
We were there on the Sunday daytime. We will be back
Be fab to bump into you fellow Barnsley guys 😁
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Yer would be great if we dropped on you at some point... 😁
Love it down the south Gare, it is redca lol,
Hi. We didn’t know anything about it and loved the vibe when we got there. It was busy with lots of things going on. Have a good day
Its getting the same in derbyshire all of the out of the way car parks get full of these filthy vans ...they always stink of weed
This made us laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very interesting, not been to that part of Yorkshire, fabulous music at the end.
I remember little bottles of milk at school with very sharp blue straws, why give those to kids ?🤣
Hello June,
Now you mention it - yes we both remember the spiky blue straws. Lethal!! 🥛 😂 😝
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Showing our ages eh ??🥤Milk, urrgh, vile stuff !!!
South Gare is surrounded by heavy industry wreckage, covered in litter left by careless visitors and jammed full of chaotically parked motorhomes but apparently it is the wind turbines that are an eyesore.
Hey thanks for watching
Hi guys, the name of the place is pronounced Gare - rhymes with Hair. We have the corresponding North Gare at the south end of Seaton Carew beach. Keep up the good work guys, really enjoying your content.
Hi. Thank you for watching and we are delighted you are enjoying the content ☀️
Its Redca, not red car you were right dude Yorkshire 😊
👍👍👍
Yorkshire - God's OWN Country.
Hi there. We agree, the most beautiful place on the planet 😀😀
I remember bottles of milk at school , in wintertime they would freeze up and you only had 10mins to try and thaw it out with your tiny 6 year old hands and trying to drink through a stupid paper straw that would flatten at the first sign of moisture ! But then you would try and use your tiny 6 year old fingers to scoop out and consume the ice frozen milk resulting in a huge brain freeze migraine and frost bitten fingers that would last all day ! 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ , but that’s what made us tough men we are today ! .in summer it went sour so you end up getting the shits and have to try to use tracing paper bog roll ! But it made us hard men and appreciative of Andrex 👍🏻👏🏻
Hi. This is such a funny comment!
We remember the tracing paper toilet roll, ouch!!
Tough cookies 💪🏼
Another brilliant film, save some ideas for the TV series though!!🙃
Can I ask a Q please? In a previous film, Andy was shown trying out a guitar in a music shop, it sounded really good... is any of the music in the films you make Andy's own music?
Hi there, Thanks and we are so glad you enjoyed it 😀
Yes some of the music we use is Andy’s own! 🎸
That’s brilliant. Could you or do you put music credits at the end of the films? I’m really interested in this sort of stuff🙃
Hi. Any that are not Andy’s own are from a site called Epidemic sounds. We love it
Staithes has been used as a stand in for Cornwall in films and television.
If I'm not mistaken an episode if Vera featured the green fishjng huts.
Hi. Thank you for watching our video. Il ask my friend… she’s watched all the Vera’s!!!
Hope you are well
Ay, yer getting good at this film making lark.
THANK YOOOOUUU 😀😀
Thank you for this. We feel we are getting into our swing!
Have a great evening
I do think it was steal works on the left, and Vera was filmed in the fishing huts
Hi, We didn’t even know it was there!
Great place, we enjoyed it
my sister parks up there, you may have seen her van a purple IVECO
Hi. I think she contacted us, she saw it on the video 👍👍👍👍
It’s called paddy’s hole where the boats are ..
Hi, yes we discovered it was called that, what a fab place. It was awesome and a great little spot to take the van and enjoy the surroundings. Have a fab week
Staithes look like a nice little place that we've never been to. Did you stay on a site there?
Hi. Staithes was great, only small but with a few pubs and fab beach! We recommend. We stayed at a CAMC site called North Yorkshire site. No toilets but great location. Send pics if you go 🚐
Thanks for the reply, will definitly be visiting over the winter.@@Stchristopherofatlantis
Isn't that the light house they used in corrie were pat fellen fell from ?
Oooooh I don’t know. It’s a great place to visit if you are ever in the area 👍
I love locally the vans have totally spoilt the gare, it used to be such a pleasant place to have a walk, Is there any waste facilities ?
Hi. We didn’t even know it existed!
We didn’t see any waste facilities, there maybe some but we didn’t see any.
Amazing place. Large beach and the seals 🦭 just wow
Hope you are well
just over the water from us in hartlepool headland
Hi, yes we need to head towards Hartlepool soon !!
Thank you for watching our video
That weird road with all the flytipping signs, it belonged to all the chemical factories that used to be behind that big steel fence. in the 80's there used to be yellow sulphur gas coming out of the actual sand dunes oppositte and it was disgusting. all the pools on the marshes were oily and stunk. Now it's a nature reserve and has loads of extremely rare plants and birds. My grandad had one of them green huts during the war, it's called Paddy's hole. I've not been there for years, so it's nice to see that campervans are enjoying it down there. Awful view of industrial Teesside and the windfarm though!
Hi. Thanks so much watching our video
We were fascinated and loved our visit
Have a fab weekend
chemical factories? 😆😆😆😆😆It was a steel works, blast furnace etc
I'm from redcar everyone commenting saying the south gate is a park up, it is not it is private land which was previously owned by British steal, there never use to be that many campervans down there, now they use it as a party location and are ruining the local area!!
Hi thanks for watching our video
Redcar is a shit hole anyway can't really bring the local area down anymore than it already is
Andy & Clare, thank you for producing this. Sad but all true I'm afraid. My wife has seen it and has forbidden me to go fishing there ever again!
I think you both should give up your day-jobs and do this as a career. I would be more than happy to pay to see similar videos of parts of the country nobody believed existed. It wouldn't be the same without Claire's comments mind you. I was expecting Peter Kay & Co suddenly to appear walking/wheelchairing down the road towards you. Thanks again for a very entertaining video. Peter
Hi, We are chuffed to bits that our little video entertained you, brilliant to read.
Let’s hope Peter Kay sees one for them and contacts us for some comedy writing advice 😂
Have a fab day
Noted and thanks for the acknowledgment. Peter Kay should definitely contact you. I bump into Roy Chubby Brown from time to time. I’ll mention you to him next time I see him. I’m going to watch the video again this weekend because I enjoyed it so much. Best wishes, Peter
Have a cracking weekend
Yep, it's south gary 😆
Makes sense to me 🤣🤣
Thanks for watching our video
Lol. I enjoyed it. You walked past my van-the big purple one. I've been living at south Gary for 15 months, converting my van. It's a great little spot although the wind can be brutal 😱🌪🌬
Noooooooo was that you?????
We were admiring the craftsmanship. Your van is INCREDIBLE, We secretly want it 😂
The place is cool apart from the wind turbines they're an eyesore!😂👍
Hi. Yes we said the same!
Have a great day
@@Stchristopherofatlantis There's a few over near me on the Pennines and one on the farm at the back of my Son's house!🙄😂👍
Too many!!!!!
it aint yorkshire, its teesside. yorkshire starts another 10 miles south from there
South Gare is the second pronunciation you said.
Hey. Thankyou! We weren’t sure. Thanks for watching our video
@@Stchristopherofatlantis all them signs that said Private road were put up by British Steel back in the day when they owned the steel works to the left and on that big long stretch of road just after the fly tipping sign on the right hand side you stopped and talked about all the slag from the blast furnaces was dumped on there over the years
now go over to the other side of the river tees to the north gare.
What?? Theres a North?!?!
at 2:30 in your video your looking at it. though other side of the river . though that side is durham. Hartlepool side. ps visit the headlands Hartlepool. @@Stchristopherofatlantis
Hey we appreciate this. Sounds like a plan
South Gare is a great overnight stay. We've stopped there twice now and had no issues at all. It's town centre of Redcar that scares us. We was sat on the front eating a chippy tea and a chap that looked in his late 20s stopped picked up a dog bowl from off the floor and drank from it about 4 times then put it back down and just carried on walking 🤮🤷🏼♂️😳😱 needless to say we couldn't finish our food after seeing this.
Hi there. You guys ok?
We would definitely go back, it had a great vibe and was busy. We just wasn’t too sure if we were allowed to go up the road and pleasantly surprised to see such a community. Crikey, I bet you were totally shocked at that. Now that is something I wasn’t expecting you to say!!!! 😮
Hi I've Just found your channel. Liked and subscribed.
@johnbateman3244 Hi John, welcome to our little channel! We hope you enjoy watching as much as we like making these. 👋
which pub @12:54? Jolly sailors?
Hi. It was a while ago but yes we think it was. Very nice and welcoming
right this is getting annoying. i'm trying to get on and edit my own video here but I'm getting totally distracted by your channel! very entertaining. Keep at it guys.
Glad you enjoy 🤣🤣
Just looking and you have had some good trips! We have subscribed. Hope to bump into you guys
Cheers. Yeah that would be great. Saving for a bigger van now ;) @@Stchristopherofatlantis
🤣👍
Hi 👋
@@Stchristopherofatlantishiya, I’ve commented twice now and neither of them appear 🤷♂️ all good hope you both are well
Hi, We can’t see those comments because if I did I’d be straight back on a reply!
All good our side and we thank you for watching us.
Glorious Yorkshire!
Interesting video but marred by music
Hi Thanks for watching 👍
Not unusual for travellers to park on private property.
Hi. It was a strange place!
Enjoy your weekend 😀
Definitely Pronounced Redca ! Not Red Car 🤪x
Hi there, Thanks for watching us. Andy insisted it was Redca and one of the ladies in the pub said the same 😊
Have a great day
GODS OWN COUNTRY
What a beautiful place it is ☀️
These UA-cam stars always gives up good locations when parking up, and the affect ( that doesn't bother the look at what quiet beautiful spot we found UA-cam stars) well that's another place off the map ad everyone with a camper van will and have helped to destroy another place, look at the annoyance and parking anywhere they like( no confirmation for the locals) on the Scottish coast, little town's etc) and some stars then post negative videos when they are parked overnight in quiet roads, supermarket carparks etc moaning they have been either disturbed or a attemptd break in overnight, there really needs to have proper legal sites for these new darlings of UA-cam to park up in peace and not anywhere they think they are entitled to, as that attitude spoils it for the rest of us abd the local residents
Thanks for watching Daniel
It's shit now
We had a cracking day!
@@Stchristopherofatlantis was a lovely place years ago folk like you ruin it keep it to yourself you dummy
This is the BS I've seen on a public footpath no entry private land and then a more signs that nobody reads because it "private"? As it's private put all the signs up you like? Cheaper to get a gate with a lock on it? Except it not private is it? Just sign on private land "suggesting" it's private keeping people out without enforcement because it's a "public right of way" and farmer Brown doesn't like that? Gets right up his nose
We were confused as we drove up but realised that no one was seemed to be worried about the signs.
Thanks for watching our video
There's another park up getting swamped because of selfish you tubers plastering it all over the internet
Hey thanks for watching though
I wish youtubers would stop giving park up locations away that then go on to be swamped by vans caravans rooftents and ground tents, South gare was a peaceful place but I have stopped going there due to everyone walking about with cameras and people drinking so much and smoking weed then fighting in the early hours with police having to be called everytime, PD ports will kick off everyone soon the way it's gone in such a short time, Van life isn't about youtube videos drinking and getting high spoiling it for everyone so please why can't people stop giving park up locations away just for the sake of a video
Hi. We didn’t even know it was a park up, we were just heading to the lighthouse
Have a good week
@@Stchristopherofatlantis The point is this, When you found out it was a park up you did not need to put out the video which has done nothing but advertise it for even more to come and park up on an already over saturated area thanks to such video's, Surely you can see this for yourselves, It happens so often now thanks to youtubers who are more interested in getting another video out of it which seems to be the number 1 priority rather than just enjoying being out and about away from the grind of life which without youtube I do believe many would not even bother with vanlife
Been fishing there for 40+years now totally ruined by campers
I've been " van lifer" for nearly 40 years,never had any hostility from locals,never had a problem finding a place to stop for the night,until you youtubers with your videos have totally destroyed a way of life,I despise you. Now,there is hostility everywhere to campervans because the hordes who have now got themselves a van and have no respect for the countryside leave their sh*te behind and boozing and smoking weed I've come across these morons and I can't blame locals for turning against campervans.
Why wouldn't you want people to visit and spend money locally?
Having identified this ‘ unknown’ location full of campervans etc etc in my opinion you missed a great opportunity to tell us the what , why and how about this place. Ok the caption told us it was a blast furnace so why not describe what it did , why was it there etc . Perhaps interviewed some of those living there?
So what was the point of this video as you two are pleasant enough but not interesting individuals. Watching someone drinking tea , coffee or dog walking seems self indulgent and pointless.
Thanks for watching anyway
We love that coastline! So much so that we did a seasonal pitch for summer 2021 near Robin Hoods Bay. Strangely, we never ventured to Redcar, but the next time we are up there, we are going to make a conscious effort to drive straight on by 🫡.
Hi. How are you doing?
Haha. The Gare is worth a visit if you are up there… for the seals and a walk down to the lighthouse
Hope you are well
@Stchristopherofatlantis I'm good thank you. Trust you pair are too. I think I've been to the lighthouse, but I could be getting that confused with the one at Whitley Bay 🤔.
