Nottingham on Flood Alert - A walk along the Flooded River Trent to the City

[@michaelmiller641]

As they say "Nice weather for the ducks" ! Great video as usual, Ant, especially your drone shots. Thanks for that!

[@malcolmrichardson3881]

Water, water everywhere! Great video footage which shows the immense power of the Trent in flood. Thank you!

[@Jaynetowpathwalker]

Absolutely brilliant video, thank you , showing the impact of the flooding is quite scary . It makes one appreciate living away from the flood zones 😕

[@TrekkingExploration]

I just know I had to go and record this. Thank you 😊😊😊

[@Ncfc-ek8il]

This is remarkable.I live locally to all this flooding. I have seen it flooded down there many times down the years when we have had a lot of rain or snow melt. However I don't recall us having that much rain recently.We have had about an inch of snow locally which melted quickly.I think a lot of this is failure to dredge the small rivers and drains which get blocked with fallen autumn leaves and twigs at this time of year. The authorities used to dredge and clear all the debris in years past and I'am sure this helped to prevent flooding to a certain extent. A lot of the water flows down river from where there has been more rain and snowfall than here and eventually into the Humber at Trent Falls. Great video.Thankyou...

It's also the home of the oldest pro team in the World, Notts County. Some spectacular drone footage for a Forest fan.

The city of my birth, we had a choice follow forest, or county,most of the family follow forest.

Fantastic thanks Ant. Floods are really pretty. Thanks for not turning off that slip. I was waiting for a slip. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care

[@shirleylynch7529]

Fast deep water. Quite scary. But what an excellent video. Filming fabulous. Drone footage so clear. Well documented. Thank you Ant. Take care especially around that deep water.

Being a local using the footpath from Gunthorpe to Colwick at some time every year for many years, I found your footage, especially the drone footage, absolutely brilliant. I thought you might have mentioned the canoe slalom on the National Water Sports Centre in your shots close to the sluice gate gates at Colwick. Not surprising though, they were hardly discernible in the torrent of the wide flood at that point. The views provided by the drone were stunning and captivating. I have spent many hours in the area as a cyclist and walker and your footage was fascinating from beginning to end. Top notch, thankyou.

[@kimbenson2920]

The ducks are very happy.💜🦆

[@TrekkingExploration]

Yes plenty of those around 😊😊

[@kimbenson2920]

@TrekkingExploration to think that less than 18 months ago I was exploring around and under the arches on both sides of Trent Bridge. Got some beautiful shots of it and the Lady Bae. And it's now all water and mud.... Still a glorious looking day.. all the best.

[@LKBRICKS1993]

Amazing footage Ant thanks for showing us the flood.

[@markforsyth2721]

Thanks for another great video. I grew up in Nottingham and used to go to school at Mundella, near the memorial gardens. We could always tell when the river was high when we could see the boat name on “Galantus”, which was a very posh boat that used to be moored on the river.

[@roytabberer7427]

Absolutely brilliant video, I have seen the Trent high, but not as high as this. Thanks for venturing out for us all.

[@TrekkingExploration]

Very kind Roy thanks very much indeed 😊

[@roberthoward3723]

Liked this - good drone footage

[@foxual13]

I like the new style place names on the maps. Very clear. Great video mate.

[@telemachus53]

Watching you scrunch along the icy paths makes me grateful that I'm sipping a hot toddy on my way to bed. My grandad lived in Dryden Street near the town centre and I used to take a few walks along the Trent but I never saw it lke this.

[@1975supermike]

Love the music you're using while flying.

[@MrGrahamcooper]

Really Enjoying your videos. I wondered if you could do a walk that crosses the old northern bridge on Highbury vale Bulwell. I use to live very close to it as a kid and vaguely remember my brother taking me down the side of that bridge to see some sidings there. Many thanks keep it up 👍😉

[@Takingawalkwithmybestfriend]

Great video. I’ve done something similar on the tidal, it’s been bad further down this way on too. As you said, flooding is awful, but it’s a staggering thing to witness.

[@ste.h9825]

Very atmospheric,great video.Thanks Ant😂

[@TrekkingExploration]

Cheers thanks very much 🙂🙂

[@simonballard6413]

Lovely video, Ant. My goodness, the river was high. An extra delight was to see a smoking chimney! What was that part of?

[@elainemclelland]

Isn't it testimony to the bridge builders of the Trent Bridge that it easily with- standing the flow of the water? Another great video. Thanks for making it. When are you auditioning for Dancing on Ice? 😂

[@qsmdman]

Thanks!

[@TrekkingExploration]

Very kind thank you

[@kimbenson2920]

Wooooow! Beautiful vid, but a bit scary to see the scale of the impact. You should've packed your waders, Ant. Have a great 2025. At least the sun is shining. Cheers. 😎 🥳

[@fhwolthuis]

Wow, that looks pretty serious 😢

[@TrekkingExploration]

It was quite wide and fast in some places

[@jetsons101]

Now if there was only a way to get all that river water to southern California to help fight the fires........

[@Jimyjames73]

Talking of flooding - are you going to do a Video about the Bridgewater Canal that Breached??? 🤔🚂🚂🚂

[@TrekkingExploration]

I think it'll be a good time to go next week when the water has gone and we can see what's happened 😉

[@Jimyjames73]

@@TrekkingExploration Oh ok 😉🚂🚂🚂

[@sharonthewalkingexplore.107]

What video app do you use, the music sounds good, love your new dog hope to see you in future videos say hello to Esme for me

[@TrekkingExploration]

AHH you saw her on Facebook? She's a good girl. She may appear soon 😉

[@bobingram6912]

Interesting to see how other parts of the country are faring. Didn't seem as bad as last vids you did? No wet doggy footprints???👍👍👍👍

[@TrekkingExploration]

@bobingram6912 that was 2020 when I did the others. I almost went back the other way. Maybe next time

[@wideyxyz2271]

[@merikblackmore]

Looks like you need some wellies.

[@JuliaHopewell]

They'd need to have a mega grip though!

[@thatguyfromcetialphaV]

As a DCFC fan, if the Red Dogs get washed out of their own stadium, I'll laugh my head off :)

[@charliesmithurst5785]

Your going down again

[@andrewmassey]

COYR a big forest fan great video

[@stephenwilliams1824]

Areas upstream don’t allow for overflow to sink in the ground ‘flood plains’ as councils have allowed urbanisation to increase revenue. Plus, many rivers should have been dredged over the many years as preventative maintenance. Something they do with canals. Do those politicians living in ivory towers on hill tops give a 💩, probably; maybe if flooded residents take their grievances and anger to London.
