The Mid Notts Railway & High Marnham Test Track Railway Walk

[@sarahwinfield3989]

Very enjoyable. Plenty of muddy tractor tracks.

[@Richard_Barnes]

More brilliant drone shots Ant’ 😃 This was a good walk and at the time you filmed it, I bet it was a welcome respite from ‘things’ going on back then 👍🏻

[@HobbiesAndSunshine]

Brilliant. Very interesting. Looking forward to the overgrown line when time allows and you can fit it in. Woods and old railway lines - great :-)

[@TrekkingExploration]

I'll need a herd of goats for that one I think 🤣 Thanks for coming along 😊

[@helenthorne8451]

Nice walk there I must of missed this one very overgrown track bed wish someone looked after them. The woods looked lovely apart from the muddy parts xx

[@StephenForster-z3m]

brilliant love the scenery giving me the inspiration to get my boots on and getting out

[@martinmarsola6477]

Thanks for the video and chat. Your the best, Ant! Cheers mate.

[@MakeAllThingsBeautiful]

Beautiful walk, love your photography, filming and drone work and a few new tricks you are introducing, good stuff, you have such a wholesome and healthy lifestyle as well included with the job, I really think you could help us and i am sure there is a fascinating film potential for Berry Hill Park, the hall could 1730 and noone knows who built it, could your drone maybe spot any intitals or clues on the building and also the woods, there are 4 differant woods, pine, birch, chestnut and beech, who planted them and which is the oldest, the history of the pond could be interesting, also the a view from over the top of the trees, i reckon back in the day many collieries would of been visible but how many? Anyway, we have had a couple of film makers contribute but your drone and editing work could really help us before developers grab another chunk of Mansfield's finest park, maybe chat sometime, should be able to help you out and support you cheers, keep up the good work www.change.org/Please-Stop-the-Proposed-Building-in-Front-of-Berry-Hill-Hall-facing-Berry-Hill-Park-Petition

That was a great little walk, the section through the woods must have been a real treat, until you got to the mud!!! I must pass close to the walk every Thursday on my way to Mansfield, if I can convince Kieran, we may stop and do it one Thursday. Great, I've finally found where I put that door, my memories not what it used to be!!!!!

[@TrekkingExploration]

That door 🤣 I only walked it last Sunday and forgot about that 😂. If you go through Kirton and Ollerton, it's a short distance the other side of Tesco

[@exileinderby51]

It's great that you're finding new places to take us and I'm looking forward to some videos from Lancashire, my home county

[@Dave1976.]

Plenty round Lancashire

[@TrekkingExploration]

Glad you like them! I'm looking at September which isn't too far away now :)

[@frankfitzgerald5832]

Brilliant ...Thanks So much for the shout out ......loved the choice of music ...some great stills again ....yes leave the overgrown track bed till autumn winter time Ant......Take care and stay safe ......Frank & Lee.......

[@TrekkingExploration]

The problemwith that track bed is that it floods in wintter so its a tough call it may never get done

[@epic_liamgaming2342]

This is the first video of your i have came across its verry interesting to see the history on the railway alway wonded about it as live so close and nice seeing the old photos of it in operation have you been trough 1/4mile tunnel nere Boughton brake localy known as mummy's tunnel not sure about official name in winter and early spring you can walk the whole way down the old line trough it to the old pit there is a nice old bridge along it

[@joannaknowles8789]

Hiya Hun i think you may find the High Marnham Test Track looks well maintained is possibly because its still be used.

[@TrekkingExploration]

Indeed it is 😊

[@lindamccaughey6669]

Absolutely fabulous. What a beautiful area to hike in. Now Ant I don’t want you to think I’m uncaring but if you go thru mud and fall if it isn’t too much trouble turn camera around so we can see? Haha. All jokes aside I just loved that and of course I loved the bridge. Thank you so much for taking me along. Please stay safe

[@TrekkingExploration]

Of all the places ive been this last year i fell over the stump of a root of a weed lol Glad you enjoyed it, this is very close to home :)

[@lindamccaughey6669]

Should have showed us the fall, haha. As long as someone isnt hurt I’m one of those who laughs her head off. I fell down some stairs once and broke my foot and after I pulled myself together I had a good laugh at how funny that must have looked

[@SAM-zt2uy]

Another little line I’ve worked on in re ent years

[@roytabberer7427]

Beautiful walk, lovely scenery, thanks for showing us these walks. You will have to get some big waders for the overgrown railway or borrow Martin Zero's as I know he bought a pair or his River Medlock series.

[@TrekkingExploration]

When we had the dry spell recently i was thinking of going back to have a look, then 4 days of thundery showers. Apparently it floods badly down there so its either deep water or high weeds ha ha ha

[@happyhermit2022]

Excellent and very interesting 👍

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@christinegibbins6105]

Thank you the video is very interesting, hope you feel better soon.

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thank you! I'm about 95% sorted now. I feel it when i wake then thats it :)

[@christinaburton9297]

Fabulous!

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thank you 🙂

[@wetdogFBK]

Great vid as usual. I'd give it a while before doing Scarborough to Whitby line - they're resurfacing parts of it near Whitby

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thanks for the information. I'm looking at late September so hopefully completed by then 👍😀

[@darrenbush4491]

Great video Ant

[@TrekkingExploration]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@matdriver1]

Great Video, like the graphic with the location of the walk 👍

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thanks Mat. I keep forgetting to set it off recently at the start 😢😂

[@matdriver1]

Trekking & Towpaths my daughter is happy she now trusts me that the walks we are going to do are at the right place 🤣🤣 not bad for a 9 year old eh 🤷‍♂️

[@jonathanrogers7278]

lovely walk ant nice one

[@TrekkingExploration]

It really is! Thankyou :)

[@PaulMaloney]

Great video as usual Ant. The Bilsthorpe to Farnsfield track is a good walk with some interesting bridges on it. Have you thought about visiting the old oil field near Eakring and taking in the National Grid Training Centre at the same time?

[@TrekkingExploration]

I've been thinking about the oil field recently funnily enough. Quite a bit of history up there 👍

[@PaulMaloney]

@@TrekkingExploration If you want a tag along give me a shout via Facebook

[@bobingram6912]

That's OK Ant, we've got a Cocking Hill and a Cocking Tunnel!!!! Unusual brick over iron bridge at the beginning. Is the test track used a lot, looked a tad rusty?!! 👍👍❤

[@TrekkingExploration]

It'a a bit hit and miss. It can go weeks with nothing then have a sudden flurry. Cocking Hill 🤣

[@gazclass58]

Another great video mate love the photos you got sent and your drown footage. Don't mean to be rude but I I still don't know your name after all your videos on desused railways I've watched and still don't know your name how can speak to you if you come back over this area of Leicestershire. Take care pal see you on the next one

[@TrekkingExploration]

Hi Gary, I'm Ant 🙂 Glad you are enjoying the film's and we'll definitely be back over the border at some point 😀👍

[@myselfG3184]

Like the music on here do you make the music for you're videos ant

[@simonwass6315]

What drone do you have?

[@simon2k4]

I live about 4 miles away from High Marnham and didn't know it existed 😂

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thats great now you do lol

[@simon2k4]

@@TrekkingExploration found another railway bridge on a walk in the middle of a field nearby.

[@TrekkingExploration]

@@simon2k4 is that near Eakring towards Bilsthorpe?

[@simon2k4]

@@TrekkingExploration no this was in Tuxford

Do you know it’s uncanny I think I walked that forest track whilst surveying on utilities 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

If you didnt know there were once pits with names like.... pit wood no one would guess this was not pristine farm land
