This is a bonus video, not a vlog or suchlike but the bow-camera recording as narrowboat Nautilus Enterprise cruised from Crick Marina to Yelvertoft while we filmed for video #322. There is intentionally no commentary, just the sounds from the (electric) boat.

This is a bonus video, a “not-a-vlog” realtime recording of the first part of my journey taking Twiggy the cabin cruiser from Ashwood Marina down the Staffs & Worcs canal towards Stourport, in this video reaching Stewponey Lock.

This is not a vlog, there’s no talking or music (deliberately) – it is a “slow TV” uninterrupted recording from the bow camera of the electric day-hire boat seen in video 293 doing the return journey from Tamhorn Farm Bridge to Kings Orchard Marina on the Coventry canal near Lichfield.

This is an uninterrupted (almost, there are a couple of camcorder battery changes and a re-fuelling stop) video recording from the camera on the bow of a narrowboat as it travelled along the Grand Union Canal in Northamptonshire from Gayton Junction to Weedon Bec.

223A: Slow TV (not a vlog)

Posted on August 17, 2020February 24, 2024 by David Johns

It’s not a vlog this week but instead one of my occasional “slow TV” real-time recordings from the bow camera, with super stereo audio from the microphone also on the bow. This is my trip from above Gailey down to Autherley with only one tiny edit where I had to change the camcorder battery.

219A Slow TV: Fradley to Handsacre

I know some folk hate these real-time bow camera recordings and would prefer the usual vlog with commentary – but other folk love them hence why I continue to upload them occasionally. If you’re one of the former, panic not; do not wail and gnash your teeth for another standard vlog will be coming along next.

Vlog 207: Slow TV on the Macc

Posted on January 23, 2020February 24, 2024 by David Johns

This is a real time recording from the bow of my narrowboat from when I cruised up the Macclesfield canal in September 2019, from Hall Green stop lock to near Bridge 65. Towards the end there’s a bit of a pause while I waited for another boat to come through two bridges close together but I do move on again after that for a bit before finally coming to a halt.

Posted on October 24, 2019February 24, 2024 by David Johns

This is a BONUS VIDEO; not one of my regular vlogs. It is a real-time recording of a narrowboat journey on the Caldon canal from the water point near the Black Lion Inn to the western portal of Froghall tunnel.
