Glad Scott is still a free man after his daring tunnel walk in previous video and can continue to drink coffees to get up to cruising altitude. That ape at 5:50 probably said "Yeah, that's Scott from Planes, Trains, Everything". Really wonderful video - great views and shots.
As the old saying goes "Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun". Enjoyed your video Scott, reminded me of my visit back in 2010. Sad to say, we cheated and used the cable car and took a taxi back down.
Great videos! As a kid, I lived in Gibraltar from 80-83. In fact, at 1:45 in the video, if you turned right after the moped and red & white poles and went 50 yards up the hill, that's where we lived for a short time before we got a flat down at the RAF base, North Front, although I believe it's now called Devil's Camp. The flat we lived in at North Front is still there... about 200 yards from the centre line of the runway. Great memories of living there, tremendous summers. It's changed a lot though.
Hi Scott, just watching another one of your videos where you go to Mallig. And I remembered your tron to Tron video. I thought how about a mallig to Malaga video😌
I lived in Gib as a kid. During that time, my mum played the organ for a military concert in St Michael's Cave, something she has really fond memories of.
Visited Gib about 7 or 8 years ago on cruise stop off. Went to the top of the rock looking down towards Sandy Bay. Said to the taxi driver that took us 'I stayed there about 45 years ago, I think it was called something like New World', he said 'Both Worlds, still called the same' even now some 55 years later. Must pop back again soon.
Well done Scott. What a trek. I was hoping you’d get the cable car down and find a nice cool pint of something, as you looked just about all in. Can’t wait for the next exciting instalment.
What a magical place 😊my husband and I visited Gibraltar back in April, that's a really tough climb uphill, all respect to you for not taking the cable car!
You caught so much of the beauty of Gibraltar Scott and its rugged side too. The Macaques looked 'chilled' relative to you. They're used to it. The history with the tunnels was A+. Thanks.
When I visited the rock whilst serving in the navy we all got a mini bus up there. We had been on the drink the night before and remember looking down the steep sides of the rock as we hurtled up. I was green that day. Word of warning never take any sort of food or packaging up to the rock, it will be gone in seconds.
Great video, I've visited Gibraltar twice but now realise I've missed something to make a return trip worthwhile! That view from the top, it's worth the trip alone!
Hi Scott. Great video. You could have gotten a return journey on the cable car for free if you made a reservation at the restaurant on the top of the rock. You can also skip the long queues too with a reservation. :)
This was really great exploring the Rock of Gibraltar it was really awesome with the most beautiful scenery this was really great thank you for a wonderful tour of Gibraltar and can't wait to see more thank you.🇬🇧👋
My dad in the late 40s early 50s when stationed in Gibraltar used to drive army trucks to the top of the rock, zig zagging his way up alternating driving forwards then reversing along the next leg as unable to turn on the bends… scary stuff just hearing it.
We took a minibus tour which held 6 people and was a fraction of the price our cruise ship was charging and we were taken in the caves and right up to where the apes were just being fed which was funny to watch them fighting over the food. They were so busy eating we could go right up to them. The minibus could go all the way around unlike the coach tours which only took them so far and then they had to walk. Thoroughly recommend the mini bus trip.
There is, I believe, a (public) minibus that runs part way up the hill from the bus station. That might be what you passed around 1:48 in. Certainly worth the couple of euros (or whatever) to get part of the way there
Walking in the heat at 30 degrees is a challenge. I love the heat it was over 30 degrees when I went to Bulgaria in Nessebar in July there absolutely loved it. I come from Renfrew in the U.K,where we have had grey skies nearly everyday,courtesy of geo engineering,chemtrails,so getting any sunlight was a luxury to me,we all need vitamin D,good for our health,I drank plenty of water and cocktails,so relaxing,loved seeing the barbary apes so cute,but can be dangerous if approached another excellent video
Good video. When you were going to sit down on that green thing I said to myself "that's going to be hot" and the way you jumped up it looked like I was right. Sorry, Scott, but I had to laugh out loud. We Germans call that "Schadenfreude".
Great video Scott, not sure about the tag line of Climbing up the Rock under the Planes,Trains Everything at the start. I climb and I use my hands, feet, rope snd carabiners. Didn't see to much of that in the film 😅😅
Thank you Scott for another extremely interesting video. I was hoping you would show the cable car! The moment I saw it, I immediately thought, 'no wonder there was an hour long queue'. The cable car is small compared to those you see in the Alps!
First time we visited Gib we used the cable car to access the Rock.Luckily there were hardly any queues to contend with and the view once you get there is amazing.
I was there in early July and took the cable car up and down, although I still did a lot of walking while I was up there. I foolishly walked a fair chunk of the way down then climbed about 5 lots of steps to get back up to the cable car. Seems that I got lucky because when I was there (way up at about 10:30am and can't remember when I headed back down) I didn't have to wait more than 5-10 minutes. I was there for work so didn't have a great deal of time and there's still a lot of stuff I didn't see up there - thanks for the video convincing me that I need to make a return trip sometime.
We visited and had a great time although I imagine you would get Gibraltar fever after awhile, the Spanish checkpoint is a real pain. Took a tour to the top, I have never seen so many miserable people who decided to walk!
It's a lomg time since I was wandering around the Rock, (circa 1970) on a day-leave from my R.N. ship. There was no cable-car then, and no tunnels (well there were, but not open for touring!) St Michael's cave was used as a concert hall. There was an underground reservoir, too, somewhere. Being young, fit, and maybe foolish, I walked all the way up to the top via the switchback narrow roads, looked down on the water cachment (I think still in use), etc, photographed a cloud coming up the hill to meet me, stood on a concrete (observation or gun?) platform on the far North edge that had a large jagged hole in the middle (bomb-hole?) and no edge railings, , looking down on the airport, then walked back down the steps that used to run top to bottom - they were in a very poor condition, often with no side-walls or railings, steps broken or missing, and semi-suicidal! There were several tiny cave openings (vent shafts?) that were gated over and padlocked shut, around the top. Partway down were a cluster of (ex-army?) concrete buildings, with the painted names still semi-visible on them, partly obscured by Graffiti - I think it was called 'Hell-fire corner'. Gib town is a lot bigger now, and has very little semblance of what was - as you said in the previous vlog, a lot of the land is reclaimed, and demonstrated when walking up towards the gate, along those old narrow residential streets. If you recall one of the later James Bond films, where he was parachuted onto the Rock - I saw bits of the roads I walked up and down!
I have to agree that there's "something missing" in Gilbralter. To me it looks like the unloved parts of Greenock, only with a lick of yellow or peach or off-white paint to make it look Spanish. That I've really enjoyed watching Scott guide me through a place I find unattractive is testimony to his appeal - he's brilliant, and he has a lovely accent!
I spent a long time in Gibraltar in the early 80s. It was much smaller than and the runway was a bit of an experience, because that was a lot shorter. pick the time of day, are you doing your Mediterranean steps? Make sure it’s in the shade. It’s a beautiful walk. Yes, challenging but lovely views of the med. The time I was there, you couldn’t walk all the way round the rock because the military bases were a lot bigger. You have the RAF near the airport, the Navy docks, very much bigger and the Army base, which near Europa point
Bloody hell, I was there last week!
Took the cable car up and walked down those steps 😆
Glad Scott is still a free man after his daring tunnel walk in previous video and can continue to drink coffees to get up to cruising altitude. That ape at 5:50 probably said "Yeah, that's Scott from Planes, Trains, Everything". Really wonderful video - great views and shots.

We did exactly the same in 2008
In this case a Scotsman 😂
@@Cider4144 Maybe Scott counts as a mad dog 😄
Thank you. That walk was exhausting-and I was only watching!
Pretty sure the ape hiding in the wall was a subscriber looking for an autograph. Great watch, cheers!
Hopefully, this will get you up to cruising altitude.
Hi and thanks for your support. It is badly needed at times.
Love your videos scott and your funny sense of humour..so entertaining..thanks for bringing them to us.🤩
Great videos! As a kid, I lived in Gibraltar from 80-83.

The flat we lived in at North Front is still there... about 200 yards from the centre line of the runway. Great memories of living there, tremendous summers. It's changed a lot though.
When we were there, the apes were everywhere and some were big. Would not fancy walking up there. Well done for doing it in the heat!
That was a mission mate, thanks for taking us with you!
You absolute legend! I don’t know how you handled those hills in the heat, then I remembered- this lad grew up in Australia 🇦🇺😂
I won't pretend it was easy, because it wasn't. That's probably why the apes kept their distance - I was sweaty and not smelling too sweet.
Great video journey. I d I’d not know of St Michael’s Cave, there must be a full video on its history. 👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 🇦🇺
A big well done for all of that hiking in 30 degree heat.
Certainly some climb , lovely shot of the BA A320 arrival .😎👍
Great shots of the apes and airplane

Have been to some amazing concerts in St Michael's caves, the sound is something else. Love Gib.
Another good and interesting video! Thank you for sharing this
Wow what a climb up.the rock but you did it 😊 and in that hot weather but thanks for sharing your video 📹 😀
That's a lot of hills in a short time on a hot, sunny day. Well done, and a great video. Many thanks!
Very impressive how you completed the trip up the mountain Scott, it looked exhausting.
Wow this is awesome! What a fantastic hike! Great job Scott! Those steep inclines remind me of some of the streets in Melbourne. 😂
A well deserved really cold beer is what you should be drinking after this money saving beautiful trip with gorgeous views!!!!!
Good video. I hope you did not get sunburnt as your neck looked a bit red. 10/10 for effort though, in that heat. Glad you survived to tell the tale.
Wow. That is a climb and a half, especially in that heat. Kudos. You and Steve Marsh…the Kings of the uphill climbing TH-camrs. #crownhim
I used to love running up the rock on a Wednesday sport make and mend, what fun we had😊 cheers.
50 years since I arrived as an RAF brat, aged 8, to spend two years on Eastern Beach while dad was on Station Flight at RAF North Front.
You caught so much of the beauty of Gibraltar Scott and its rugged side too. The Macaques looked 'chilled' relative to you. They're used to it. The history with the tunnels was A+. Thanks.

I was green that day. Word of warning never take any sort of food or packaging up to the rock, it will be gone in seconds.
They warned us about the apes taking food and stuff right out of your pockets or purse.
You missed the opportunity of a lifetime. The Med steps are a really good scramble round the the southern rock.
I can feel a heart attack coming on with those slopes! Thank you for doing it so we don't need to lol 😂
you did see the monkeys! I was up there,many years ago! to hot,we gave upp.🖐😎I like
your videos 👍👌
You are such a trooper, Scott. Thank you so much for posting your tour of The Rock. I wish you many more, safe journeys. Cheers.
Nice video. Lots of intreating places. your commentator helps this to be one of my favourite z.
Great video, I've visited Gibraltar twice but now realise I've missed something to make a return trip worthwhile! That view from the top, it's worth the trip alone!
Amazing, especially the tunnels and caves but as for the uphill walking...............
Keep up the good work.
Nice one 😀
Hi Scott. Great video.
You could have gotten a return journey on the cable car for free if you made a reservation at the restaurant on the top of the rock. You can also skip the long queues too with a reservation. :)
This was really great exploring the Rock of Gibraltar it was really awesome
with the most beautiful scenery this was really great thank you for a wonderful
tour of Gibraltar and can't wait to see more thank you.🇬🇧👋

When i was in the navy we used to run up the rock
I love Gibraltar and always have a little treat for the monkeys.
Scott , get a "hat for the heat ";even a cowboy hat with vents a, black baseball cap is torture , heat cant escape ,
I can see the top of the rock from where I live. Alcaidesa 👍👍 I would have waved if I’d known 😂😂
Scott, looking good with the white hardhat on going perfectly with the hair ,just needed the haircut so we could tell where the hardhat ended
And there are so many more tunnels that you are prohibited from entering too
Enjoyed it. Be doing the Rock in '25...I'd have to wait for the cable car.I could do the walk down but not the ascent. But nice one Scott.
This was a terrific walk to join you on, Scott. Nice job!
Looks awesome and clean
Thnx for the video 😊 ❤

Wonderful vid. Those views of the bay are amazing. Love Gib. Cheers Scott.
Good one. I hope that you were well hydrated.
Have you considered visiting Malta?
We have an ice cream van on the Costa Blanca as well.

Brilliant set of videos on Gibraltar. Went there 3 years ago and amazed how much I didn’t see. Will go back… 👍
I've walked DOWN the Rock and that was bad enough!
Excellent video, i would have waited the hour 😁
Brilliant video Scott
Good video. When you were going to sit down on that green thing I said to myself "that's going to be hot" and the way you jumped up it looked like I was right. Sorry, Scott, but I had to laugh out loud. We Germans call that "Schadenfreude".
I've never been there, so I enjoyed that, mate.
Great as always Scott
Another great video Scott. Love ur videos. Eye opening, educational and fun!!. Looks like ur having an awesome time too wherever you end up!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Lovely video as usual Scott, keep up the great work 💪😉
This trip is amazing. Always wanted to visit Gibraltar
Phew looks baking
Great video Scott, not sure about the tag line of Climbing up the Rock under the Planes,Trains Everything at the start. I climb and I use my hands, feet, rope snd carabiners. Didn't see to much of that in the film 😅😅

Excellent interesting videos mate , well done, keep up the good work
An excellent video - thanks
Definitely on my bucket list. Unfortunately I can't find anyone who wants to go. Had no idea there were tunnels. Cool place...heat and even monkeys.
First time we visited Gib we used the cable car to access the Rock.Luckily there were hardly any queues to contend with and the view once you get there is amazing.
I did not realise how narrow the straights are.
Great Video Scott
Great vlog and well done on walking up the Rock, it's much better than taking the cable car in my opinion, as you get to see all those amazing vistas!

That was very interesting, many thanks, you are a trooper!
Smashing review Scott - makes me want to visit.
Another Gem Scott
Great video. You are a lot fitter than me to make it to the top!
We visited and had a great time although I imagine you would get Gibraltar fever after awhile, the Spanish checkpoint is a real pain. Took a tour to the top, I have never seen so many miserable people who decided to walk!
Loved seeing the BA 320 landing!
When I took our son aged 7 to see the tunnels he said: gosh mum the rock is like swish cheese! 😅😂
Thanks for the trip🖐🇺🇸❤

The first people to find St Michael's Cave must not have been able to see enough to go "wow". The lights weren't installed yet 😀
Thanks
Hello and thanks again for your support!
Another fab video Scott
I spent a long time in Gibraltar in the early 80s.

If you're roasting you should try taking your hat off. Your head vents the most heat from your body. Brilliant choice of location!
Respect, Scott, pure respect. What a climb in that heat!
Wow, I seem to recall the cable car being 9 quid just 10 years ago.
👍👍👍
Probably a good miss on the Skywalk, I didn’t realise I had a fear of heights until I got on the Skywalk.
Cheers Scott well seeing the laventer wasn’t blowing for the BA landing
