I know A LOT of you have been awaiting this video. The 2nd part from my last ever visit to Rufford Ford. Soon after this was recorded, the council ordered the closure of the road, and it is yet to reopen.
I have covered the reasoning behind their actions, but I'm eager to hear your opinions on the matter.

Kids doing my head in 🤦🏽♂️
They are literally kids 🤣
Same
Least they're out enjoying themselves
Get a life sad old man
Yep
This place seemed so tranquil at the start, with cars cautiously splashing through the ford and the sound of birds tweeting in the trees. Then the algorithm got hold of it and before you know it - crowds of idiots, screeching kids, police, douchebags showing off - chaos pretty much. The vibe got flipped totally. I kinda preferred it before. Oh well, now no one can enjoy it.
Yeah it was tranquil before all the dickhead TH-camrs rocked up.
I live about 15 mins away and Rufford park is a great walk and I’ve been going since I was little.
Now it’s literally just this everyday the water is higher than usual…
'Cept it looks like quite a few did
This is quite literally why humans cannot have nice things
@@stephenhipp7859 “did” being the operative word 🙄
@@imarocketman90 probably more entertaining than the wedding lol
The Parents that let their children stand on the road used to worry me, most spectators wanted to see a large splash others wanted to see drivers ruin their cars and plenty did
Gotta let kids be kids
@@AlphaSKeight Let the kids be kids by all means, but don't let them be roadkill
The bridge made for a suitable grandstand
I can see why the locals said no more. That white truck a dozen tunes, siren blaring coupled with trucks going up the stream. No brainer
thats why it should be open, thats sick
@@blazortheepic0384 No, it`s just too much
@@blazortheepic0384 found the 7 year old
@@George-ml5rs im 6, actually
@@blazortheepic0384 It sure should be, somewhere, in a gravel pit or as part of a closed circuit, for free of course, but better not on public roads besides inhabited buildings. There are too many people detesting other people having fun. You can't avoid that clash and it will always end with police and a lot of silly accusations.
The noise in the back is enough to make me not want kids lmfao.
They need a good slap.
Take mine 🙏
It's not even the kids that's just bad parenting they need to tell them to shut the fu*k up 😂 my kid won't act up like that and would never shout out something stupid to random ppl got to raise them right or don't have kids at all
@TH-cam Incognito thats a weird comment bruh. I think you need therapy friend.
@TH-cam Incognito yea you are apparently mad at your parents and not me lol get some help kid
The guy in the Amarok was out of order , dangerous driving at its finest.
I feel sorry for the people who live there.
Yes, there is nothing like people driving their cars trough a ford with EXCESSIVE speeds. Oh the humanity!
Dunno why people don't just build a 'wooden bridge' for the cars to go over. A few tax payers money spent here and there and BOOM it's done. But that would mean we couldn't watch these... 😂
Absolutely! The guy in the white Amarok is 8 yrs old ffs. It’s costing me time and money to take the long route now and the short cut round the Ford there’s suddenly a sign up saying no through road? Residents must have complained about the sudden increase in traffic on their road all due to idiots driving too fast mainly and risking life.
The motorcyclist that got thrown off was the main reason it closed, that's when the locals started really kicking off and the police became a big presence
Yeah that video is pain..
The reason it got closed is because TH-camrs kept posting videos making the place more popular and dangerous because people wanted to show off to the cameras.
Then the constant you tuber presence feeding off the more busier traffic going through the splash just for their views
Pj audits nearly crying after it was closed
Heard some youtuber were caught blocking it to make the water level rise more as well.
He fucked around and found out the hard way
I can see why this place was closed, some people especially that ranger are being extremely dangerous
🤣🤦🏼♂️
Extremely dangerous, it's a bit of water pal 🤣 take it you haven't showered in a while either for safety reasons 🤔
@@Glint_Eastward it’s the rate of speed people go in at.
@Aidan Moore yous do it fkn slow as it is this is like the beginners ford before you play with the big boys
@@Glint_Eastward Take it you don't understand how even a little bit of water can cause a lot of problems. Also, tell that to the motorbiker who got thrown off his bike.
No wonder it was closed - drivers behaving like 10 year-olds.
Oh shut up grandpa, its fun, its because of people like you why this world becomes so trashy and inprisoned with each day passing
I’m in my 40s im looking forward to when I grow up to behave like a 10 year old
@@mitchellperry3462 😅 Problem is, there are so many utterly reasonable people detesting fun and wanting to restrain other people's wellbeing that it will become more difficult to behave like healthy ten year old boys amongst those bores and slowpokes. Three years of usurping reign the miserable corona's witnesses have under their belt showed slowpokes of all kind how it is actually doable to ruin other people's fun in their lives, and they all start to do it less and less closemouthed.
Yet the authorities refuse to take action to stop this very same behavior at Lindersfarm (Holy Island) & Mersea Island Which are far more deadly & Dangerous as they are both TIDAL (Rufford Ford is NON TIDAL & not considered Dangerous as it is only a few yards across whereas Lindersfarm & Mersea Island are 3MILES ACROSS & ARE TIDAL.) Indeed the Rufford ford brigade would be scared out of their boots by Lindersfarm & Mersea Island as Rufford Ford is a tiny puddle compared to these deadly tidal monsters.
Its called having fun.
At @5:44 there’s a woman crossing the bridge whilst walking her dog. She’s showing no interest in the white pickup soaking everyone yet somehow ends up in being soaked herself. That’s why it should remain closed.
Yeah, I’m sure it is fun for the drivers and spectators, but for the locals it must have been horrible. How disruptive and miserable listening to this every time it rains, having no parking, & having to avoid walking outside of your own home must it have been.
Glad for their sake it’s been closed.
yeah you show something good to a wide audience and it always ends up getting ruined, sometimes gatekeeping is the correct thing to do. Maybe they could make the situation better by putting a low speed limit there and a set of average speed cameras, the village would profit of that and it might pressure people into not behaving like idiots.
@@tadasgame yep, would soon stop if they got ticketed for their speed.
That's why you never tell anyone where the fun spots are. Too many people find out and they always get ruined. This would happen back in the day with good racing spots and before the internet made it famous
It's amazing how easily entertained we humans are by driving through an oversized puddle
This video just shows how stupid and dangerous people were being, no wonder it closed.
Give 'em a playground. Give 'em a gravel pit, a closed circuit, a hillclimb for free and leave 'em alone while they are having enough fun for a whole week of dragging corporate grind to survive.
Not everybody is having fun quietly playing bingo, there are people that want to be loud and competitive and splash their cars and race it "unreasonably" and just want to have their kinda fun. Give 'em a place to do that, for free, and they mostly won't do it on road any more.
@@manfredschmalbach9023 I agree there needs to be more places. But there's a time and place and this isn't the place. Incident waiting to happen.
@@lewi3_whufc I absolutely agree. That sadly does not solve the problem though.
@@manfredschmalbach9023 There are plenty of off road organised places to go and have fun
@@manfredschmalbach9023 Got to disagree to some degree. If it's legal and safe and everything (even free) then people wouldn't bother doing it. They'd drive well out of their way to hit Rufford but wouldn't drive a mile to a permanent splash puddle; I could almost guarantee it.
Adam gets drenched, the response I expected "aaahhhh f***" instead it was the calmest thing ever "oh dear" 😂
Can't beat Britishness, can You?
Not 100% sure but i think driving fast through the Ford, splashing ect is deemed as driving without due care and attention...maybe thats why Police would like it closed.
I'm pretty sure driving fast anywhere (except on tracks and the autobahn) is deemed as "driving without due care"
@@hyenaboy7504 Going fast is Speeding.
Driving without due care and attention is another matter.!
Driving flat out into a flooded road where you cannot actually see the road and have a possibility of losing control of the vehicle IS driving without due care and attention!
Lets hope you understand these if and when you pass the test....lol
The cops would always come and go through and have fun
To be honest, I'd be annoyed by all the commotion as well, if I lived there... It just got too extreme...
It’s a 110 Defender not a 90 😊
I do know, not sure why I said 90
Or we can meet in the middle and call it a 100 defender
@@PaganiZondaF650hp 😅😂 The speed they did make could become an 88 by chance ...
Benefits street village edition!
Control ya kids, fucking hell. Ears are bleeding now cheers...
1:11 dam caught AdamC lackin thats a defender 110 right there
I came here to post exactly that. Unforgivable mistake.
@@MalcolmPowder bro was just racist to the defender comunity smh
No idea why I said 90. I know the difference.
@@AdamC3046 yea we know jus caught u lackin
The reason why is was closed is because of TH-camrs, especially PJ who you can see in this video.
What did he do? I used to watch Tom Sunderland's videos but never looked to find out why it got closed. I just thought it was the obvious too many people going too fast
It's not at all surprising they closed it.
Yeah, can see why it was shut
ADAMC Your videos really brighten my day thank you for everything
Pretty sure that guy in the white 4X4 was cooking something and everytime he needed an ingredient he went to the shop to get it. How many times does one person to drive along the same bit of road ?
I must admit, seeing the blobeye Subaru go 'yeah no' was funny exactly because they're designed for this.
Thought they were designed for road racing not water?
rallys have splashes as well@@carolined5929
I'd imagine the reason it got closed is because of social media. All the sheep turning up to get a bit famous online for 5 mins
There was so much nonsense going on on that ford, i was always wondering why the authorities would let this go on... but for the workshops and towing companies around it more than sad...
They're definitely laying off workers now
This is the one ive been waiting for. Madness! ❤
thank you for this grand final
thank adam this was great like they always are,
an thanks for getting blasted all those times for us !
Great vlog Adam. 🚘🚘
Nice vid bud, didn't think anyone was filming due to the 3-4mph speed haha.. no splashing from me
'If you turn around your a loser' quality from the children.
9:23 What a heavy guy, it was too much... And to think that that little truck, as it looks, you put it off road and it doesn't last a few meters that it would get stuck with a pee of mud
4:17 should’ve brought a spare yfood 😂
Yes it's back
That defender is 110 not a 90 as it’s inches in wheelbase
I know.
@@AdamC3046 You have failed Alex and your so knowledgeable on cars, more than me
@@TheJbsportstech But I know the difference, I just said 90 for some reason. These things happen
@@TheJbsportstech also, who's Alex?
ayy that me in the red gtd! and my dad in the white one :D great video always love watching them from ya, shame its been shut but can understand why with the idiots......
This was crazy and exciting 😊👍
love to watch these videos in germany!
Car- water we all know what’s coming
My issue is the speed of some people 🤦🏽♂️ nothing stopping a plate or bumper flying off and hitting someone or even the car. Have fun but be sensible
Rant over………..
@AdamC3046 odd question but what kind of coat are you wearing? I like it
Superdry jacket (doesn't keep me super dry at all)
2:01 Dog knows to duck in the car so that's not the first time they have done this 😄
What a nice person for asking how ur camera is 😭
This was some of the best Entertainment to come out of GB.
Blue lights and a siren? That VW at 3:08 is definitely breaking the law.
Well, this is gonna end in tears
Nice love it
In a word.............YES!!
Adam. Thx for curing my boredom.
big hug from hounslow
Was only a matter of time before there was a fatality at that.
Love listening to ur feet squelching mate it was beautiful 👊👍
great video. I have something like this near me and it's great to watch. sometimes cars and lorries will make huge splashes and sometimes cars will repeatedly go through for everyone. It's great fun and it's only a mile away from me. 10 min walk
Don't tell anyone. It'll be closed next
Went there recently, much more peaceful than it was.
8:20 "I can hear the distinctive sound of a Subaru" - it bailed, avoiding the obvious Scubaru joke.
8:39 i dont know why he bottled it his intake was high enough
See speed is key!
Hopefully AdamC comes back here soon
It's closed.
It is an offence to drive through a puddle and soak a pedestrian accidentally , doing it deliberately is worse.
Its like leaving car shows now, people see a camera theyre going to show off..... then the fun gets taken away
put speed humps on the road .
Local scrap yards are loving it
A precession of bell ends. It’s closure was inevitable.
Is there any wonder it got shut?
Some of the driving through it is ridiculous especially that white yolk that was bombing through it.
Keep up the great work Adam!
It was a defender 110 to a 90
you gotta love the sound of the td5 diesel engines from the defenders and disco's
That ranger was equipped with sirens and flashers
Sad people, i know what im going to do today, keep drivinv through a puddle must have sad lifes, helmet
Not as sad as the guy that watches it on TH-cam and then whines about it 🙄
Your da should have put something over his helmet!
So your superdry top wasn't dry at all 😄.
That Subaru could've made it, wonder if he had flashbacks 😄
Gotta complete this by getting a shot glass and filling it with the ford's water and downing it! A rip shot for the ford Adam!
£100 fixed penalty and 3 points on licence for splashing someone. Also can be fined upto £5000 for reckless driving.
5:09 Not a 90 actually a 110 Hard Top
Yes exactly why . Just my guess
They shut this wonderful attraction down! How sad for all of us who loved watching very stupid people destroy their cars.
0 to 30-ish... yeah, there have been people go through there at way more than 30.
Well done for saving the cam ha ha
Need to get some goretex gear Adam
Looked better than Thorpe Park.
Stifler?
Rural England's answer to USA 's blizzard beach waterpark
so why was it closed? cant they just build an low angle arched bridge over it?
They'd need to close it to do that
👍
Got me really excited about AdamCFest'23 but then I realised it's on a weekday :(
It's on a Bank Holiday
@@AdamC3046 ah so it is, 'Doh lol. Hopefully I'm off!
It was a defender 110
I know
I enjoyed these videos:(
I see PJ
Are you from australia
No
Is that a wild PJ AUDITS I see there 😉😉
The internet once again ruined something.
Love the "peer pressure" from the little kids.
Kids sure know how natural competitiveness works and how things are done as a dare. This is, by the way, the reason why humans are the top of the pecking order and king of the food chain no matter crocodiles, lions and bears existing along. That natural, wellworking mechanisms get damaged over time by silly social norms imposed on them by grumpy teachers and other boring slowpoke adults until they're ruined enough to fit in some unhealthy corporate grind 60 hours a week.
That was a defender 110 Adam not a 90 cmon car man lol
I know.
This is gonna get the Defender fans riled up #nota90
Adam your a legend great content as always buddy
you're
@@volvos60bloke omg ur so funny-🤓
But why😭😭😭😭. It’s fun
Definitely the reason they shut it, especially those 2 that drove up the steam and the speed they went.
