In this video, I am out on a very exciting overnight camp in an abandoned 16th century cave house with Andy from Kent Survival. After our hike to the location, we spend some time exploring the cave, prepare firewood for our campfire and prepare dinner for the evening - whole roast chicken and vegetables cooked in a Kazan Afghan pressure cooker. Dinner, a couple of good beers and lots of laughs around the campfire and its time for bed - simple bivvy bags on the cave floor.
The cave is believed to have been inhabited by the infamous Shropshire highwayman Humphrey ‘the wild’ Kynaston before he moved to the much more well known cave house at Nesscliffe in the early 1500s. The cave has been home to many others since and its last occupants, a family of 5, vacated the cave in 1890.
The cave is privately owned and its location is a closely guarded secret. As a result of this, it has remained undamaged by visitors and associated graffiti and is in pretty much original condition, deteriorating naturally as nature slowly reclaims the cliff in which it was dug. The nooks, the chisel marks, the fireplace all remain including the built extension next to the cave, with its roof, although long since collapsed, is still there - rafters, tiles, bricks, sandstone blocks and 500 years of rich history.
I would like to thank the land owners for granting us kind permission to visit and an enjoy the cave for the night and to my friends George and Rachel for organising the visit - thank you!
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.

Can't help feeling a bit sorry the roof has fallen in. Is the cave house listed?

@christopherfisher128 2 года назад

Hey, thank you for allowing us to see your awesome Cave! It is always interesting to see new locations that are not typical "survival" & learn how different people lived & live. And the sheer amount of history in that place is pretty impressive as well.

@simonablokeinthewoods 2 года назад

Thank you so much Rachel!! It was such a beautiful place to spend some time and an absolute pleasure to meet you too 😁👍

@Taigatot 2 года назад

Howdy Simon! I just want to say, I've been watching for a few years now and your videos are always so very wonderful. I have fairly bad anxiety and troubles with insomnia, however, when I watch your wonderful adventures, be it with Andy, Maggie, Tom or just yourself, I'm put at ease. You've really helped me get more into my own bushcraft and just be more at peace in hustle and bustle of everyday life. I'm able to nod off and sleep well when your travels are playing in the background. Thank you for sharing your passion with us all. It really does mean the world. All the best!

Simon a bloke in a cave with Kent scarevival 😎 never heard of masonry bees, cool. The good old days of the highway men! Great historic place. Some of the wood maybe looked coppiced. That tree was massive that had come down, maybe a fir, huge!

@simonablokeinthewoods 2 года назад

It was a fantastic place! Yes, the cave is on a large private estate, so much of the woodland is coppiced and filled with unusual and non native species - it was once quite an ornate place!

@Stonehombre1 2 года назад

Awesome area to camp in. It's like being in a time capsule. You have so much more history over there than we do in the states. We have a habit of destroying things over here. Loved the video !!

@DaChris-qb6ti 2 года назад

I love these videos! They remind me of the Hobbit. All you seem to do is make big dinners, drink large beers, then consume huge breakfasts and coffee. You could break into song to complete the image.

@jimwulstan8592 2 года назад

Gold medal video, outstanding location, best one yet. The cave is a monument to history and the lives that agricultural workers were leading pre WW1England, much of which is documented in Ronald Blythe's award winning book 'Akenfield'. In it there is a recipe for estate made beer, during harvest time each worker had a free issue of 17 pints, yes seventeen pints per day as documented on page 62.

@kater_5401 2 года назад

Awesome seeing you out in the woods together again! When I watch these videos you both make individually my heart is full and happy. When the two of you get together it’s like I’m hanging with two good friends around the fire. Thank you and Andy for making these videos to share with us.

@ggpkgman 2 года назад

Biscuits and gravy is a Southern delicacy, and my favorite breakfast item. Most southerners make it a little more thin by using more milk, but it did look good.

@hammerhound168 2 года назад

The Question arises, did it have a proper "bite" of black pepper . Personally I like using half a can of condenced mushroom soup with a splash of milk. But need a good Tablespoon of black pepper.

@derektodd4126 2 года назад

Back in the day my late mother used a Prestiege pressure cooker every evening for cooking the potatoes. When done she would cool it under running water in the sink and very little steam would come out when she removed the weight/valve. However her best friend would not cool the cooker and just put it outside the back door and remove the weight, with an impressive blow off steam. Back then every so often she had to replace the gasket ring on the lid which was stocked by a local shop. My Mother used it alot as it saved alot of gas / cooking times when people were not as well off.

@TheKnightsShield 2 года назад

I always love watching you two together, you're a great pair to watch. Great camping location, too. Nothing wrong with camping in a cave, drinking beers and eating chicken. Pretty sure people have been doing it for centuries. Have been meaning to ask, how is Maggie doing? Haven't seen or heard anything of her in a while. Sorry if you've mentioned her on social media before, I don't really use it, except for RU-vid.

@simonablokeinthewoods 2 года назад

Thank you! It was a great catch up and such an amazing place! Maggie is doing okay, she is getting older and can’t walk too far these days, but she’ll be back in a video soon 😁
