- Welcome to Jaywick, Britain's roughest neighbourhood! This small seaside town has the reputation for being the most deprived in the entire United Kingdom however myself, @baldandbankrupt and @TimmyKarter decided to come here and see for ourselves what it was really like....welcome to Jaywick 🇬🇧

Those two go from darian gap to seaside town in the uk😂😂
Jaywick next level
The Darian ain't got shit on this place
@@luminousbanner9643 🤣 uk the scariest
@@BackpackerBen so glad you keep doing vlogs.... It is what you decided to do with your life. Seems like you are really excited in your recent videos. I recently noticed in your videos you found a little Alpha Female as a travel mate, keep her close for the years ahead. Greetings from Germany....
Haha uk more dangerous defo 😅
Hi Ben ! Kacper here - it was a pleasure welcoming you here at the hotel ! Had a great time with you guys in the pub and chatting in the evenings - I’m glad you enjoyed the Langtry and everything Clacton had to offer !! - congratulations on a great video 👍👍
Pleasure all ours mate!! We had an awesome time. Thanks again for being great to us
@@BackpackerBen They proved that you can offer a clean, friendly hotel for a budget price.
19:34 biggest nuts in Jaywick
Came searching for this comment 😂
That's some Thanos level sack
Like a newtons cradle
Dude has some hangers.
"Whats that you got there"
Deeeez Nutzzzzz!! Jaywick style.
You 3 need to do more stuff together more often!
absolutely agree 👍👍👍
Just nothing with Johnny VD, he is a beeyotch
@@ronjohnson5070or That American Tim K
Those 2 were losers Ben and Timmy are epic
@@1geckobros63good trio mix of personalities could be a very good series of videos
This is like a Christmas gift, having Timmy and Mr. Bald on the video is top notch! After what those two lads went through down in Central America, they deserve a break with a few beers and some laughter!
Jaywick is tougher than the Darien 👀
Doesn't look so bad to me it's beachfront!
Ur mad mate! How about a tri-fecta repeat Darien Gap w/u tagging along w/Bald and Timmy?At least in Jaywick u have something called' law and order' and police coupled w/ a sane(somewhat) judicial system@@BackpackerBen
@@BackpackerBen I challenge u, Backpacker Ben, to cross the Darien Gap solo.
If they would just clean up the trash it would be a lovely place. Such a shame.
Jeez that guy was packing on the steps 😮
Obscene
He keeps his anaconda in his pants.
He hasn’t put the leg of lamb he nicked earlier into the fridge 😂😂😂
That's me on the steps I carry a hernia
@user-bc6bw1tx7k no problem mate. it was really nice of you to take some time to talk to Ben and bald and invite them in. Thank you!
I love my community here in Jaywick.
Everyone here has a story, and almost everyone here is a survivor in some way.
Jaywick may be a little "rough" to outsiders, but we are strong, and we all stand together despite our differences.
Well said mate I actually loved it there
Rich is my neighbour, and I live opposite. We all sit out front when it's warm, drink beer and BBQ.
It's a shame your visit was during such horrid weather.
Looks nice to me! Where can you find affordable beachfront property??? Mark my words, once they 'gentrify' it all these lovely ppl will be kicked out and could no longer afford it. That's what happens in US.
If it's so lovely, why does nobody clean this place up?
I know there are many places in the UK that are rough needs work etc but you always find salt of the earth people. Unsure what Bens motives are going to places being quite condescending at times. Saying he’s going because of a list of rubbish places seeing how rubbish they are. I really like Ben as well as Mr Bald but this narrative if visit g so called crap places is not to my liking . I won’t be watching any more. After seeing this & the previous one in Luton. No matter how much they rubbish these places names the people they spoke to were so lovely. I wish they would be more positive vlogs about our country. All my own opinions. Others may disagree. But I won’t be following both of these any more.
The UK stuff Bald and Ben do is absolute gold.
So funnyyy
The dream team! Thank you for another glimpse at the rougher side of Britain, Ben!
Enjoy! We certainly did
Come to Wigan
We want more !!!
I really enjoy this whole "CZcams traveler" cinematic universe you guys got going on. You're all different personalities but work well together and it's awesome. Hope you guys can keep it up!
Awesome, thank you!
I was trying to think of the term for what they have going on and cinematic universe is perfect 👌
Would be amazing to watch those 3 doing more trips
Some of the roughest places can have the nicest people.
The best 🇬🇧
This was absolutely brilliant and has definitely cheered me up after currently suffering with a severe bout of the flu! Love you three together, definitely do more stuff together in the future! 👏🏻
British banter 😎🇬🇧
This video really did show the gritty spirit and comedic nature typical of many Brits. Loved the banter between the three of you… and a great endorsement of the Langtree hotel!
Our pleasure!
Great trio
I went to Clacton a few years ago and recall driving along the sea front to find a parking space. I spotted a large pub with a board stating "Sunday Roasts" and parked in the car park and went inside with my family to order.The barman ignored me for a few minutes whilst he finished a converation with a regular,and eventually bluntly asked what I wanted.
I enquired about the "Sunday Roasts" and he replied they haven't done them for months,without any apologies.
I mentioned the advertising board outside and he repeated that they haven't done them for months.
If this attitude is anything to go by, it probably is why Clacton no longer attracts visitors,which in turn means they can't afford to spend some money once in a while to make it more attractive.
It used to be a well kept place decades ago.
I don't get why so many Brits in hospitality are so lacking in manners ?
Is it too much to train them to smile at customers and say " good morning,how can I help ?"
Not just British hospitality. Just back from a month in America, 13 states. A LOT of very ignorant servers there, difference is they expect a minimum 15% tip 😮
Sorry for any inconvenience Karen
@@stevieboy9974 oh sorry, no they were all perfect 👌🍻
„you look like a younger version of me“
„do i? Thats scary.“
lmfao nothing funnier than bp ben getting roasted by a kid 😂😂😂
Fuming
Richards ball bag is something of legends 😂😂😂😂😂😂 jesus Christ it's unmisaable 😂😂😂😂😂
Was looking for this comment, glad I’m not the only one 😂😂😂
Oh my God, are you referring to what I think you're referring to? 😅 I couldn't keep my eyes off of it! 😊 What's his number? 😂 I can't believe I'm actually posting this comment, but what the hell.
Sorry to disappoint but I think that's hernia.
@@thegreatujo I agree. Something going on there. Hope he's OK.
@@bondmood Yeah a real stickler for his health in that condition, eating, smoking, drinking. Some people are just clueless
NICE TO SEE YOU WITH TIMMY AND BALD. NICE 👏VLOG BRO.
Chaotic trio
I'm staying in an hotel in central London right now that cost me £50 per night and it's as basic as you can get, tiny bedroom, tiny bathroom/toilet and the view from my window is of a wall from the next building, I can't even see the sky either and I love it
Serious business when Bald breaks out the sky blue North Face innit
Ben + Timmy + Bald is AWESOME
No more needed it’s perfect
That hotel doesn't look too bad. It's very small but it looks clean. I'm liking all three in the video together. There are plenty of arcades near piers in America.
"Are you Harold?" Hahaha! Great video but a really depressing place. Thanks much and stay safe.
When I was a kid back in the 60s we used to come up from London. I remember the sea being crystal clear and we even saw a dolphin on one occasion. Better days.
We used to go there for holidays in the early 1960’s. It was great then.
What great recovery for Timmy and a nice treat 😂
Fantastic to see the 3 amigos on tour in Crackdoom !!
Happy Christmas 🎅🎅🎅
Happy holidays!
Liked the video and banter. Regarding Jaywick, everywhere has its problems. We live in Torbay and it has many, many issues. We are also moving back to Jaywick as it has real community spirit you find in very few places. It has a regeneration fund, it has volunteers helping to tackle fly tipping, and it has a mural trail helping to brighten up the area. But to me the community is what shines the most and we are looking forward to moving back. Home is where the heart is.
Well said mate we really liked it there!
Looking forward to more weekend getaways from you guys. Great video Ben
Damn, the balls of that guy in Jaywick!
Yes Ben thank you so much for delivering us, your loyal viewers, a quality treat for Christmas! Seeing you and Mr Bald (aka The Dream Team) reunited for another UK adventure has literally made my day. Really enjoyed watching this video - you're an absolute pro and natural at producing world class travel content. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had to visit Jaywick for work once. I'd never heard of the place at the time, so it was a shock to see some of the housing. But at the same time, it seemed so sleepy and tranquil by the sea, I can see why some like it.
This video was so entertaining 😂 I hope you do more vids together with Bald and Timmy.
Brilliant video Ben , both hilarious and harrowing at the same time.As a kid in the 60s , day trips to Clacton by coach were much looked forward to , parents wore their best clothes , ties etc, and then we grew up and became motorised , a small group of us would ride to Jaywick on our motorbikes and hire a chalet for a weeks wage for one of us and have a great time and the sun seemed to always shine .So sad to see it like this , yet I feel one day it will turn around , there is such an opportunity here .Great you found some wonderful characters and my respect to all 3 of you for some five star content over the last year.
Why people lost self respect? And especially why British are so masochistic? They have unhealthy habits and self depreciation. I met many British living in Bulgaria, they were all more or less sick and never heard of diet.
I'm the guy who bumped into you, Timmy, and Bald on the train. Legends!
I Hope we see more of the 3 of you doing more Adventures together in the New Year🙂👍Awesome Video👍🙂
Just for those interested, at 16.32, that's the new Jaywick community shop, which provides low income families with affordable food, which like the Jaywick Community centre opposite (and off camera) supports the locals. (The community centre has been doing this for decades btw)
Shame you couldn't have shown this, as opposed to rubbish and urban decay.
They showed weatherspoons.
Great editing/production on this one BPB
It's the only place where 'beachfront bravado' isn't just a phrase; it's practically a competition for the best windbreak setup! Visited UK just in the middle of this year to film one of our TV show episode and it is such a great experience!
Quite interesting places to see here, thank you for sharing your great video,also listening to the locals telling their stories!
Great place and people
8:50 Big -movie! Tom Hanks approves. ZOLTAR! You should have played Zoltar, you would be young again tomorrow...
12:15 Clear priorities there, Audi and Mini Cooper (BMW) parked behind almost collapsing building
18:09 Those pants disturb me... or the shape of the pants and what's beneath.
A tumor probably
Amazing team-up! Great video mate.
great to see all together❤
I'm gonna be in the area over Christmas holidays. Gonna swing by to the Langtry to say hi. Watching from Nova Scotia Canada
Top notch. Great team, even Timmy! Hope he has posted this as well saw Balds. Be well Happy Christmas!
Thanks for sharing, looks like very good people in Jaywick
Love waking up to see a new video posted, made my day!! and happy to see Bald & Timmy!! 🙂
Cheers for watching! 🙏🏼
same here...nice to wake up to see buddies hanging together.
@4:05 A little conversaton in Clacton-on+Sea between (Bagpacker)Ben and a 10 year old Bitish boy. Ben: "Great, you look like a younger version of me!" Young boy analyzing while moving two steps backwards and eventually answering not very convinced of that matter: "Do I? Ben: "Yeah" Boy: "That´s scary man ! 😞
After he said that, he threw some gang signs. Cool kid
Yesss loved seeing you three together!
That was Smashing ,funny and informative
Hello Ben 👋 Greetings from Tychy, Poland. TYSKIE beer is made here 😉👍 20:00
When I was a kid I’d stay in the summer in a caravan in St Osyth with my Grandma. We’d often walk from there along the front to Clacton, passing Jaywick. On three separate occasions, a crackhead ran out the house and handed me a £50 note. It’s a funny old place but always been friendly and I have fond memories. Some really heartbreaking stories though.
so its back to plymrough for you m8 for xmas hope you have a great xmas and thanks for the hours of entertainment =-)
As a Greek and a subscriber of you and Timmy, I’d like to apologize for his behavior. The dude is way too caught up in the moment and lacks some self awareness lol. It’s a shame you guys found him difficult to work with, because your polarizing personalities as a group made for some golden content. Cheers
Seen documentary on jaywick it is rough..Thanks for inviting the great Mr. Bald what a legend ❤
BEST TRIO EVER 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🚀
Clacton has a super airshow just before the August Bank holiday weekend. Super atmosphere.
Cheers to England, one of the GREATEST countries on earth. Wonderful hard working people, rich history, and a lot more.
Great vid. Decent people in a run down seaside town.
Love… bloody absolutely LOVE seeing this famous trio 🎉 ❤
They need Haraldo with them and Simon Wilson.😊
Thanks for watching!
Haha the dreamteam together. I am not used to see timmy in such a cold weather. I am glad he feels better ❤
I love these different perspectives!
You can tell the local council are pocketing the money rather than spending it on the community
Nice video lads, Jaywick's a funny old place; crumbling houses not fit for purpose, an under-served, under-funded and largely forgotten town, but a beautiful stretch of coastline nevertheless and some real decent people hard-done by the times.
Awesome friendly people mate
Fab Vid Ben & Ben really cheered me up, love all yer contents both Ben's
Legend!
@@BackpackerBen absolutely.. Didn't a guy mistake you for Harald ffs
lovely video guys
That guy sat on his doorstep was positively bulging...😂🤦
I live 20 minutes from there Ben it’s like chalk and cheese. But to be honest let’s face it any seaside town looks pretty grim this time of year.
We loved it mate!
Great video Ben.
Another one !!!
Blackpool?
Maybe or other places.
Phwoooooar I’d be keen
Good video Ben, the people seemed a nice bunch.
Top people mate
18:15 biggest balls in UK😅
I noticed that as well 😂
the three of you together is very entertaining!
Pure stress and chaos
Nice video not going deep n dirty on the place ,glad Timmy doing ok . Nice ickle video tres amigos , loved the dude calling Ben Harold 😂😂😂😂😊
I've stayed in Clacton often..I like it,nice people,clean hotels..I love the sea and my walks along the beach before breakfast.
I miss the British friendliness, even in a run down town
Best nation mate 🇬🇧
Most British aren't friendly but there are also towns that have nice people citys usually have more unfriendly people
I think that when u get to know someone on their own the British are the best and having a good chin wag and humor
Great vlog. 👍 Sad about Jaywick. Glad to see see a vlog about the town. It needs redevelopment and modernisation. But, I suppose no developer wants to take on the challenge due to all the red tape and prefab housing with asbestos.
good year watching all your videos Ben, welcome back to the muff, you really have to do a full weekend in Plymouth with Bald and Timmy. maybe a drakes island tour I think bald would enjoy that and a wild camp on Dartmoor with them haha , if I see you around the muff ill be sure to get ya a pint. Adz
Instagram me mate I might do a Plymouth vid 👌🏼
Brilliant video, just watched the flipside with Bald and Bankrupt :D
Welcome!
Timmy is such a cool bloke.
I can remember when Jaywick was just sand dunes. Back in the 70s as a kid holidaying at clacton was great fun. Havent been back since covid
Should check it out mate, good people!
Ben you need to come to Coventry and Leicester! You would have a right giggle
Filmed a couple of vids there recently bud. Some great people in Jaywick. Be great to do a vid with you lads in the future 🤙
This video illustrated how much of an impact sunlight or lack there of has. Jaywick looked much nicer with the sunlight, while Clapton looked less pleasant with gloomy clouds.
Clapton wasn’t bad, Jaywick just needs some cleaning up and it could be a nice place.
They kind of remind of me Seaside Heights and Atlantic City, respectively.
Well said, Jaywick actually had a great beach
How I wish next year that Mr. Bald,Harald , Johnny ,Simon,Ben and Timmy goes together for adventures.
The Avengers
Great team. Bald, Timmy and Ben :)
Happy Holidays Ben !!
Happy holidays!
The bald bloke making a roll up had some balls on him.
Oh yeah 😃
Shoutout to the Langtry hotel staff guys
Legends!
Great video Ben , think you get on much better here than abroad , due to speaking the language.
Legends ! 💪
Atlantic City, a bit larger but just as gray & bleak lol …. & the seagulls lol
it's like meeting friends on video! We are addicted to you guys
Cheers for watching 😎
Ben, you should come to America and visit small towns. You’ll be mind blown to know that most seaside towns have an arcade lol.
Great to see you guys bringing @TimmyKarter into the mix.
Was waiting for this one
I used to live in Greenock, Scotland about 15 years ago. Would've been great to see how it has evolved throughout the years. Just a modest suggestion 😊
Still a shithole was there last week 😂
A visit to the “Scottish Chernobyl” Clune Park
Great to see the three of you together. By the way why does Timmy Carter have such an English sounding name? Did he change it?
He did. His Greek name is Efthimis Karteroliotis.
@@loveintheend89dufe how u jnow his real name😮
He played basketball in Greece and he has also mentioned his real first name multiple times in his videos@@absfinal
Used to visit go there for my summer holidays as a child, Clacton and Great Yarmouth. Unreal...
What a trio we need more of this
One issue I noticed in a lot of videos not just yours, trash issue, too many trash thrown on the ground which is a shame really. You were in Latvia, there are such places in forests, but rare. The trash collection and recycling is actually very good. Someone really should step up and start cleaning up :D And I too had gallbladder issues, funny enough I also talk about it, kind of a life changing experience, especially if it is the first operation. All the pipes in your body, well one actually, but some scary stuff.
Broken Britain 🇬🇧
Typical in the UK. Some parts of London look like third world countries. Not bashing London as I live here, but for some reason it's as if all services have crumbled and no one can find a bin on some streets.
welcome to London, Bangladesh.
Guy's, I hope you discussed with Bald that should he become disabled or sick, he's on his own!
Good one Ben!
Mr. Bald's giggling in the end ahah authentic
