This is a pleasant blast from the past, my parents retired to Mablethorpe in the 70s. from Nottingham, I remained there to start my married life, to a wonderful young man, but we visited my parents every weekend even when my Son & Daughter came along, we spent hours in the amusements, and on the golden beach and swimming in the fabulous surf, my kids loved the sand train that was on the beach every day, I recognise some features but it has greatly altered and much more busy! I’m in my twilight years now and wish my late husband could share these wonderful memories with me, your tour stopped I think at the end of Waterloo Road, where my son has inherited my parents property, so he still has contacts with our past, and occasionally gets to visit Mablethorpe with his family, thank you for sharing this delightful video and rekindling some of my favourite 😍 memories 🤗fish and chips was one of my favourite 🤩
This is where I live, people are always knocking Mablethorpe but you won't find a nicer beach and everything is there to have a good holiday , we'll done mate, you did us proud Carol
Honestly, I think Lincolnshire has the best coast if not the best one of the best. I go to Mablethorpe many times a year and used to live here, my grandad had a caravan here. I can’t stop visiting this place it’s lovely, also there’s huge jellyfish at the sea in Mablethorpe. Great video keep it up 👍
Another great video many fond memories of holidays at golden sands holiday park and day trips with my late parents. I remember Wrates photo shops and their photographers taking photos of us on the sea front. I remember one photographer taking a photograph of me and my sister holding little monkeys outside one of the arcades happy days thanks for the memories,
Great video, love mablethorpe. Spent alot of years there as a kid, 70s and early 80s. Nana had a caravan on towervans. Shame they took the big tower down on the sit though. Still go now and then, great memories. Thankyou for showing . 👍
Some very happy memories of Mablethorpe. Went every year from baby to 16. I'm 78 now. When I got future wife. Her family always went to Sutton on Sea. So I went with them Not been back there for probably 30 yrs. Been often to Gibraltar point
Loved watching your video brought back childhood memories. I now live in Cheshire but lived in Peterborough so before Beeching day trips a plenty to Mablethorpe. The beach looks as good as I remember and only difference to main street is more cafes and amusements. Thanks
Quite a number of years since I went to Mablethorpe looks pretty good these days. Great for families and all on the flat for for the elderly. Great beach. Thanks for the memory
Thanks for this. Spent many hours in Mablethorpe with my son in the 80s. Beautiful beach. The place looks even better now. Really clean. Never used to see mobility scooters though.
Me dad had a caravan on towervans Park it was so different to how it is nowadays we had to fetch the water and empty the bowl from under the van where the sink waste went and we had paraffin heating and lighting I think 🤔 the beach was lovely and used to go to the dunes theatre the good old days hey ! We was there yesterday just for the day
Still love Mablethorpe. Anyone old enough to remember the original sand train in the 60s. It's still around in a salvage yard . Ran on a cortina engine. I still photos of it. Built by a local engineer.
@@GimbalWalkTV I have no idea. I was at the now closed Theddlethorpe terminal on the engineering side when the subject came up. I guess it's in right state. The shell was fibre glass. I know it's location. Tho. I do have photographs of it with me as kid as it went down the beach.
Went to Mablethorpe in the 90s and loved it there, remember fishing on the beach when a massive thunderstorm hit, unfortunately it was reported that two people were killed in that area, never seen a storm like it in this country.
I have just come back from Mablethorpe today and it was really nice. I have been to Mablethorpe once before back in the 70s when I was only 7 years old but couldn't remember it well. Last year, I went to Skegness for the first time since 1979 and I didn't like it much. Normally I would travel to exotic locations (Maldives, Seychelles, Mediterranean countries, South East Asia countries) but still being cautious about the pandemic even though it is getting better now. Coming back to Mablethorpe, I had a nicer experience and the locals were nice and friendly. One of the chippy places I went to (I can't remember the name of the place now) served some amazing fish and chips and the owner was very friendly and had a good chit chat with him. Since I am from Nottingham, I think this might become my regular UK seaside place to go to from now on for my every summer day trip - it used to be Brighton (although I had to stay the night there) as I have been there over 30 times!!!
Pure nostalgia....thanking you....hey, I've been going there since the steam trains from Nottingham, remember me mum and dad singing roll out the barrel and we'll meet again. in the Louth ph. Brilliant video in 4k. looks so real feels like I'm there. p.s. have watched loads of ya other vids. keep it up you are appreciated......
Hello I'm matty Muskett from Huttoft, I've been to Mablethorpe alots time when I go down there on my bike ride, so take a trip at Huttoft Car Terrace and film that mate 👍
Nice place, sitting here watching, eating, funnily enough... a bag of fudge !😃, Had a funny though as you passed the mobility scooter shop "when your poor leg's can't take any more, we'll have to club together to buy you one !!! "
Myself and my son absolutely love mablethorpe. We have been going here for 10 year now since he was little. The people are lovely and the place itself is so relaxing not the hustle and bustle of other beach resorts.
glad to see Mabellathorpe is looking as beaut as ever ,was there in march mon to fri short stay at golden sands had a great time ,cant wait till next july for our full mon to mon stay at golden sands ,heading to chapel st leonards next month for a few days , the beach looked super as always and busy too ,great little place to visit and stay ,great video and nice to see Mrs Gimbal too lol .
Miss my home town if six years would go back to my home tomorrow . Miss the beach racing .the line dancing with Rose. Love the fact you could be the only person on the beach in winter and work was only a 10 min bike ride away.Trusthorpe garden centre . What happened to them ?doesn't look like it's changed not been back due to memories. About time caps we're banned they terrify my dog
Great video haven’t been here in years it’s changed so much. Still got a fabulous beach, if we were guaranteed the weather we wouldn’t need to go abroad 😢. Hope you enjoyed the fudge keep on walking 🚶🏻👍❤️
Good to see Rebecca with you today on this one Neil. Had many happy day trips to Mablethorpe, and a few longer breaks. Always had to go to the amusement arcade first as there was a place in there did swirly pattern painting and our youngsters loved making those pictures. Believe the machine was made from a potter's wheel. Great fun. Don't think anything like that is there now. Lovely video again. Love the music. Thank you. 👍😁🚶♂️
I can remember a swirly pattern painting stall being in the fair ground when I was a child over 40 years ago, used to love doing that and used to love the smell as well lol.
Have never been to malblethorpe but we are coming on the 13th of August for 8 days and staying at golden sands holiday park my daughter and us are all looking forward to it
Another great video, as previously mentioned I personally prefer your style of music playing ( which is so suited to your videos), makes you stand out from your competitors. Best wishes Tim.
Went a couple of times as a kid ( now 70 ). Last there in 1970, my family stayed there so they could come to my passing out parade at RAF. Swinderby Lincs. Went back with them afterwards for a week. Is Golden Sands Caravan Park still there?
@@GimbalWalkTV Will have to go back some day to find out. A question for anyone living in Mablethorpe, trying to find an Ex. workmate who lived there in the 1970's + Cpl. Gary Whitton ( not sure of spelling ) would love to hear if anyone knows/knew him. ( Ex. RAF. Cosford )
Yes agreed the beach looks fabulous and is actually the best part. I’m afraid the so called town is as all of the nice old English seaside towns have now become ran down shanty places with junk shops and no meaningful shops. Just plastic tack shops hair dresser’s mini market shops,factory outlet shops. It’s all terribly ran down with no real investment for local people. If you removed the picturesque beach from this video altogether then why on earth would anyone actually go there? All sad but frankly very true
I’m 60yrs old, I remember all these rides when I was a kid, it worries me the construction and mechanics are much the same age.. I’m all for classic rides, but some of that metal work looked a little shady.
Well I'm Asian from Nottingham and I went there today lol - the locals there were very nice and friendly unlike Skeggy. But the route to Mablethorpe was bloody tedious from Nottingham
@@brothersman524 ….yes I think mr Wallace is a Scottish troll who thinks we’re all racist in England 😂 You’re right though Mablethorpe is very friendly so I don’t mind the extra effort to get there , 😁🍻👍
Also watch our tour of Skegness 👉🏻 th-cam.com/video/riJvSLUMAuo/w-d-xo.html
Its Summer and I'm watching your Mablethorpe videos again :) it reminds me of my childhood.
Glad you enjoy it!
Iam going in 2 weeks with my nan and grandad can't wait 3rd time ❤️
