Going through our archives the other day I came across a copy of your documentary of the Ardingly branch. This is of great interest as the Bluebell line is hoping to reopen this section. Well done for making this record. I also saw listed the A23 original route. This is of personal interest having worked on the Pease Pottage to Hand cross section.

I am a big fan of cemeteries and used to live in Brookwood so I was delighted to see that there was this privately produced little film about the cemetery railway, which I still remember - the station buildings and the indentations made by the track and the sleepers. With the disc was another, featuring clips from other Dumpman productions. What a great job he is doing documenting all this. And it is so British! Well done Sir!

Just watched disc 1 of Redgate Mill to Heathfield (including Eridge Station which now has lifts on the up & down platforms.)
Redgate Mill is very local to me and an area I have walked our dog in many times.

Hawkhurst Branch Line - an impressive DVD production with well informed enthusiastic highly detailed commentary and accompanying notes. Dispatch was by return post, thank you Dumpman.

A great DVD on the Old Blackgang Road in the Isle of Wight - great scenes of one of my favourite areas, which has since worsened. No horrid background music - just natural sounds. Just what I wanted. Highly recommended.

I've just finished watching your excellent DVDs on the Lyme Regis branch. Were those concrete posts along the embankment close to the end of the branch at Axminster station anti tank posts? Two WW2 pill boxes are visible too. Apologies if this has previously been suggested.

Hi Chris,
Just finished watching the Winchester to Alresford dvds, which I thought were excellent, especially including the map section and stills you took along the way. Well done, as usual. Just about to watch the Winchester Chesil ones which I'm sure will be good too.

Hello Chris, we have now watched the Winchester to Alresford dvds and we thought they were even better than the Winchester Chesil ones, all that lovely scenery you filmed. Very much appreciated. Many thanks, M.

Bought many of Dumpman's DVDs over the last couple of years. Always good quality. Chris has a great way of retracing disused railways with a good degree of history and dry humour! Highly recommend his DVDs and would give six stars if I could.

Thank you Dumpman for another amazing DVD. You're the best on Ebay by far. Ordered on Friday, arrived on Saturday, watched on Saturday. Great time had by all as always when we watch your DVDs. We can't wait for the next DVD.

Hi just would like to say thank you for your great DVD that I bought on eBay from you. They are so interesting. My Mum is 93 and she remembers going on the steam train from Shoreham to Steyning, and also travelling on the Hayling Island steam train in the 1930s. All the best happy filming.

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed your Isle of Wight Blackgang road DVD.
It reminded me of my youth in the mid-1950s when my brother and I would scramble down the well-worn unofficial footpaths to the beach from what remained of the road – a lot more road still intact in those days! We always used to walk along the road from the Blackgang end – not Niton. In those days, the fountain always spouted cool refreshing water that was very welcome refreshment on a hot day.
For the record, the inscription over the fountain was “Nectar Of The Gods” – funny what you remember from 65-odd years ago.

Brilliant person for struggling through all those brambles and hedgerows to bring us his take on the many disused railway lines in the country, especially the south of England. Long may it continue! Have a good Christmas Chris!

Redgate Mill to Heathfield - Great DVD. A really in-depth look at what is left of this wonderful rail track. Carefully and thoughtfully executed. Watched with a few friends last night and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Will definitely be buying further Dump Man DVDs of his explorations and adventures. Super!

Arrived very quick. I have always wanted to do this walk from Shanklin to Ventnor but never had the opportunity. So well presented & extremely interesting. I almost feel i did the walk myself. A big well done Dumpman Films. I fully recommend this DVD. It exceeded my expectations.
