[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

wonderful beautiful Britain to be sure THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@TrekkingExploration]

Glad you enjoyed it thanks very much indeed 😁

[@roytabberer7427]

Absolutely stunning place Ant, thanks for filming.

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thanks very much Roy I have my sister to thank for this one

[@jetsons101]

Must be nice to have all the fun..... Ant, you have so many beautiful places to choose from that are full of history for a hike. An enjoyable watch from start to finish.

[@JohnSmith-uw7su]

Very interesting Nat, I particularly liked the stills. They'd make great pictures.

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thanks John it's a gorgeous little area

[@jimg9820]

Quite often walk from Gedling country park through the Dumbles and on to Lowdham or Woodborough - very nice in the spring for the flowers - the primrose seems to be Lambley's symbol and there are nice ones around there in spring. Bluebells good too in season.

[@marqpage3485]

Thanks for a wonderful video. I've lived in the Carlton, Arnold,Mapperley area all my 63 year's and never knew about this great little ancient area . I always thought that the dumbles meant the area of gently rolling hills between lambley and Mapperley top . I will definitely be going for a look myself, maybe after a heavy rain fall when I'm sure it will be quite special.👍🤓

[@TrekkingExploration]

Its a lovely little area as is the village. I feel there is more to do around here :)

[@JuliaHopewell]

Your mum must be very proud of you, Ant 😊. Such beautiful scenery. Yes, please come back after a good few days downpour (if safe enough of course!). Thank you for this beautiful experience..

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thanks very much. I shall definatly return later in the year :)

[@psychokeef]

Great place to play when I was a kid,my dad used to park up where the school is now as it wasn’t there then. I thought you might have walked further up to find the source of the water. Great video Ant 👏👏👏

[@TrekkingExploration]

I'd like to go back in the Autumn. Finding the source could be good fun!

[@patriciataylor7887]

I miss the beautiful parts of Nottinghamshire, thanks

[@TrekkingExploration]

More to come! Thank you for watching 🙂

[@janepatricia8779]

Brilliantly done Ant, i love walking around there,but you showed us more in the video,i need to go again,p.S, i wont have words with you if you bring a bar of Bournville dark chocolate when you come,🤣🤣 xx

[@TrekkingExploration]

Glad you enjoyed it. I managed to get to the nitty gritty bits 🙂

[@johnburns5783]

Delightful walk Ant. 👍👍👍

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thanks for watching John 😊

[@simonballard6413]

It was like a hidden magical kingdom (particularly the eerie tree and bench!) Thanks so much, Ant - and glad to know that I am not the only one that gets furious over dog poo bags!

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thanks very much. I'd like to find more places like this :)

[@malcolmrichardson3881]

Interesting and enjoyable explore. That limestone gorge must look even more spectacular in frosty or snowy weather - though a much more hazardous explore.

[@TrekkingExploration]

I would like to see it in the winter.... but probably only from above

[@richardharris4452]

Well,Ant. You have done many fantastic videos (GCR-related, Mapperley Tunnel,Suburban Railway amongst them), but you might have just topped them all. As a kid (back in the mid-late '70)s, I used to go down to the Dumbles via a footpath off the top of Spring Lane (near Middlebeck & Spring Farms).... and walk down to the Dumbles....very little of the details remain in my addled memory cells, but you have just made a 57 Yr old feel young again😅

[@RobTaverner]

Nice one Ant!

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thanks for watching Rob

[@kimbenson2920]

I've really been enjoying all your latest content, Ant. A truly gorgeous spot this. And only a few miles from the city centre. Many thanks to your sister for sharing the info. What a treat! Can't not love a waterfall! Cheero, Kim 🤓🎉

[@TrekkingExploration]

Glad you enjoyed them :) I hope you are well :)

[@suzyc4734]

I lived opposite there in 1976 on Spring Lane when it was still classed as 'rural'....I knew it was beautiful but too young to really appreciate it.

[@TrekkingExploration]

I would like to pop back when the trees are bare and maybe more water too

[@jillanderson7048]

Wow, just Wow!

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thank you 😊

[@fhwolthuis]

Amazing area, great stuff, Ant 😄

[@TrekkingExploration]

well done ant to your sister. great place. caroline

[@TrekkingExploration]

[@bobingram6912]

What a magical little spot, well done Sis!!!😊 a whole world away👍 You can rant about pooh bags as much as you like and bring the problem to the fore, at least it wasn't left hanging on a tree like I've come across🤬

[@TrekkingExploration]

I think i have moaned about poo bags in early videos too from 5 years ago. Its a lovely little spot though :)

[@dilwyn1]

Had to thumbs up this Ant it will be good !!

[@TrekkingExploration]

Very kind thank you 🙂

[@dilwyn1]

@@TrekkingExploration Not disappointed !! Stills at the end .... FAB !!

[@Steve_Wardley_G6JEF]

Lovely place that Ant. We have a similar place near to ma called Danes Dyke and again It's a cracking spot at any time of year.

[@TrekkingExploration]

Maybe a place to add to my list to visit ☺️

[@getyerspn]

Reminds me of when I first walked ebbor gorge ..near cheddar...it was so unspoilt at the time (mid nineties) .

[@TrekkingExploration]

I have never been that way i really should :)

[@robinkey4499]

than you

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thanks for watching ☺️

[@robincurwood]

That will probably disappear soon with all the building they are doing around Nottingham? Great video Ant.

[@thisismyname3328]

Shouldn't do, its registered as an area of local history. But there have been some new houses on the hill towards Mapperley

[@TrekkingExploration]

It'll probably be okay i don't think they can touch that area. Thank you for watching 🙂

[@davidlee6720]

Been a long crawl back if you had turned an ankle there Ant! I am sure I did some building work there down a road called 'Borrrowbread lane ' I think if I have the right area.

[@markh-thai]

You are not far off David, Borrow Bread Lane is in Bleasby around 10 miles away. This is closer to Gedling, my hometown village.

[@davidlee6720]

@@markh-thai spent a lot of time in that area during my building career so must have mixed my bearings. A beautiful area though - thought you might know being a Sherwood-forester yourself! Cheers.

[@wideyxyz2271]

Shale beds usualy indicate coal seams not to much deeper. We have a similar stream near where I live.

[@TrekkingExploration]

Oooh interesting. Thank you for watching ☺️

[@johnburns5783]

Ant, can I ask where you get the music for your videos from ?

[@TrekkingExploration]

Mostly they are Epidemic Sound. Occasionally i use ones by Scott Buckley. I add his name in the descriptive credits when i do

[@jamesthomas4841]

The Dumbles are a lot older than ten thousand years.

[@TrekkingExploration]

I simply went by what i read on hstorical websites

[@jamesthomas4841]

@@TrekkingExploration I think they are assuming that just prior to the end of the ice age, 10,000 years ago Nottinghamshire was covered in ice. It wasn't, by that time the only ice capes were in the Scottish Highlands, the Lake district and to some extent in North Wales. Nottinghamshire was once covered by an ice sheet but I think you are talking 100,000 years not 10,000.

[@61defender]

where the stream splits many moons ago was know as monkey island by the local kids playing hide n seek

[@TrekkingExploration]

Ahhhh i thought i'd read that name somewhere but wasnt too sure

[@TheRogey1]

Reminds me of Hobbit country😀

[@TrekkingExploration]

Yes it does a bit 🤣
