The Norfolk Broads by Canadian Canoe. Pork Belly on the Firebox Stove.
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 07. 2024
- In this video, I take to the water on a windy and wet winters day in my cedar strip canoe to explore Salhouse and Hoveton Great Broad on the beautiful Norfolk Broads. I stop and cook up some pork belly slices on the Firebox stove before continuing along the River Bure.
Winter is a great time to explore the Broads, they take on a wilder feel and of course they are much quieter without the busy summertime river traffic!
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Simon, excellent video! 25 point bonus as well !! I have never heard another person pronounce ferrocerium correctly!! Cheers from southwest Michigan!
Hahaha - thanks mate! 😁
I am happy for you Simon. Piece of tarp could be ery useful in sucha scenery . It's dredful to be on the water completly soak in wet. I enjoy watching your videos.
Excellent video once again Simon, Thanks for taking us along.

Thanks Donna! The arm is healing up well, thank you! 😁
Keep it up bro, Respect😇
Hi, Just been watching this again.... you are certainly nowhere near as precious with that beautiful boat as I am with my lesser boat!!
Anyway, am now able to look at that area anew having paddled around there in my wood canoe and camping, this summer. You are so right that Salhouse is rammed in the summer, and with the cash grabbing miseries by the pontoon...I decided to give it a miss. You inspire me to try some solo winter paddling there, or anywhere!
Despite all... the Broads, for those that don't know them are wonderful to visit by canoe...at any time
Winter is the best time to paddle the broads! 😁👍🛶
I like how you checked your blind spot at 26:50 before you set off 😂
Mirror, signal, manoeuvre! It’s instinctive, I nearly got run down by an electric boat a couple of years ago!
You certainly picked the perfect weather for a day out in the canoe. You looked very cold and wet.. Great watch though mate 👍
Simon, a bloke in the woods King Billy!! I love it 😂😂
Thanks again for sharing, very educational. Looking forward to your future video clip adventures.
By the way, Happy belated birthday.
all the best Simon happy birthday
Beautiful little video simon. It is so nice to see the different seasons on the river, also your canoe is stunning. Cheered me right up watching this. Thanks
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it mate! 😁
Great little video Mate! You are right to be cautious of those sauces, some are extremely hot. BEST of Wishes for a Wonderful Birthday, to a Wonderful Friend...Atb Von
Thanks Von! I tread gingerly with the hot ones!! 😁
Another great video Simon. As you said you should always bring a tarp so that you can get out of the rain at least for lunch!
Stunning place the broads I’ve been there a few times on holiday we stayed at stalham on a river boat
Hi Simon thanks for such a great vid and nearly getting frost bite to make it you more than earned the belly pork.
Your made of stern stuff You Norfolk boys. Good content coming up, can’t wait. Happy birthday for next week. Liked the music 👍
Thanks Martin! 😁🎂
Happy birthday
I’m not in the least bit envious. No. Not at all. Really.
Sigh.
Lincolnshire. Not a lot of woodland accessible. Virtually no waterways..
Nice spice pack mate!
Love your videos Simon, always a joy to watch and to see your obvious joy in what you are doing.
Best wishes.
Thanks John! I always assumed you had a few rivers and canals in Lincs? I’ve not really explored your county at all. Cheers, Simon
Thanks for another very enjoyable video mate 👍
The pork belly strips looked tasty, Simon. I'll be looking for your adventure in Sweden in May. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
I love your canoe. Nice videos
Thanks John. 👍🛶
Another great video! Looking forward to your upcoming adventures. Keep up the good work!!
Your Canoe trips are awesome!
I loved watching Great Canal Journeys. One of my favorites was the Norfolk Broads episode.
Have a happy birthday!
Thanks Rosie! 😁
Sound of the water rippling as you go through it, lovely relaxing sound, never remember the Broads being that empty even in winter, must be great having them to yourself. Enjoy your birthday with your family.
Thank you Trev! Yes, I expected to see a couple of boats puttering along too. Blissfully quiet! 😁🛶
That's a great looking canoe
Awesome Trip!!! I can't shake the cold watching you!!! :)
Awesome canoe trip Simon! 'Kiss of Death' huh? lol...Sounds like an ass kicker. Those pork bellies looked really good.
Thanks mate! I’m going to try that one next time! With a big old glass of milk!! 😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for another great video, Simon! Hope you got to warm up properly after this trip.
Thanks Denise, I did eventually - the heating in my Land Rover is non existent, but I warmed up at home! 😁
Rocket rowing mate! Great video as always and I love the content.
Whoa Simon - i didn’t see you’re past 15k subs. Well done, and well deserved!!
Thanks buddy! The numbers are creeping up, people must be mad!! 😂😂😂
Closing in on 100k now.book time.
Another great video Simon and happy birthday!!
Thanks Andre! 😁
we used to holiday on the norfolk broads in the mid 70's at stalham and had a chalet and boat,loved it.
Great job there Simon. Even whilst frozen you still got all your video shots in! Loving your work. Thank you for sharing.
Simon, thank you so much for sharing the views!!
Oh, pork bellies, yum! Great exploration paddle in the rain. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice video Simon! Even though it was raining it was still a good one to enjoy. Beautiful country indeed. Thanks again friend
Thank you Simon, great canoe, good video shot ... 👍
Good video Simon nice to see you out in the bush/water again even iff the weather is bad good on you!
I’m jealous you can go for a paddle in winter. Here in 🇨🇦 no one can own water, even if you were to own all the land surrounding a body of water you still don’t own a waterway.
Cheers a the great vid👍
That sounds much more sensible! We have some odd laws over here regarding where you can go/not go! 😔
I’m moving to Canada!!! 😁
Simon, a bloke in the woods in Ontario we have over 250 000 lakes. This is paddle county! Come over and hang out for a while 🤘
Nice day to be out! Very beautiful area!
Pure magic thank you Simon, it's so beautiful there with all the sights and sounds with some lovely nosh to round it off :)
Thanks Georgina - it’s lovely this time of year, less so in the summer - it’s like bumper boats! 😁
Hi. I love your videos, so thanks. Your canoe is a thing of beauty.
Awesome canoe trip and I simply adore the Norfolk/Suffolk broads and rivers. Take care...
Cheers John!
Cracking video Simon you got a great place to do your adventures you sound like a handy bloke to know making things fixing things ect atvb jimmy 😎 😎
Cheers Jimmy! Yes, really lucky to have the Broads almost on my doorstep! 😁🛶
really enjoyed watching buddy.
Nice video Simon, I loved the music, it just "fit" the video. Thanks from Kentucky :)
Great video. That looked so peaceful out on the water. Haven't used a canoe in ages. Would love to go across the pond and do some hiking and canoeing.
Well done for mending the gearbox on your sewing machine!!!
Oops sorry landrover?
Surfs up then?
😂😂😂 tatatatatatTatata.....
Mmmm more belly pork Si. happy birthday for the weekend mate. Al.
Cheers Al! 😁
Loved the set up and canoe segments, Simon. Grear stuff as always!
Thanks Derek! Atb mate. 😁
Looks bloody cold and damp and miserable Simon....I love it haha very very good video most enjoyable mate
Good video , looking forward to seeing your Summer Adventures with Kent Survival 🔥🍳
Well done for setting out in that weather! Look forward to your upcoming adventures and happy birthday for next week!
Thanks mate! 😁
Really enjoyed the video mate and VERY jealous of your trip with Andy!
can not wait to watch this.
Just getting into bushcraft myself through my wildlife photography and I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm from Norfolk myself so it's good to see recognizable places in your videos. Thanks for sharing :)
Great video! 😁👍
Great video mate, hard as, You need a fishing brolly. Mine goes everywhere with me and is a great windbreak and shelter.
Hello Simon. I don't know if you've done this, but here is s cheat; use these fire-starter's when it's raining. Collect your loo-paper rolls, fill them with lint from your clothes dryer after you've spread Vaseline in the lint. Wrap the rolls in paper towel and pack them in a plastic bag. When it's raining or going to rain, pack a few of these with you. Cheers!!!!
Good tip! I’ll give them a go - I use drier lint on its own sometimes, the Vaseline sounds like a great idea. 👍
Thank you, you give me great motivation to go out and enjoy the outdoors, getting out my canoe this weekend ( not near as nice as yours ) and hitting the Chattahoochee River close to my house. Thanks again. Cheers!
Happy paddling buddy! 😁🛶
Good video Simon
About 3 seconds after I thought tarp you said it. Love the firebox and the food. Nice video, thanks
Thanks Chris! 😁
You let the cat out of the bag! haha, I did wonder if you'd bring it up ;) nice day out and spicy pork mate ;).. chat to you very soon!
Hahaha - yeah, sorry, couldn’t control myself!! Way too excited!! 🇸🇪🛶🏕
Britain's answer to Joe n Doug take to the water.
could you make just one film between you?
otherwise iv'e gotta watch both, or pick a favourite. And i don;t want one of you to get the hump.
Hope you had told the family Andy :)
Another great video as always. Happy Birthday Simon.
Thank you! 😁
Simon
I don't know if it was mentioned by anyone but if you have a decent dry bag you can use that filled with water for ballast when windy. The bonus is you can empty it when you need to portage and refill on the other side. 😊 Cheers
Good stuff! Cheers and Happy Birthday
Thank you! 😁
Great video Simon!
Thank you! Really enjoying the Liberty bottle - it’s ideal for the canoe, scooping up water as I need it. 👍 great kit!
I'm not even halfway through and I'm thoroughly enjoying this mate top quality youtube! Thanks Simon.
Thanks Nick! 😁👍💦
Nicely done, and a Happy Birthday!
Al
Thanks Al! 😁
Great video. I did not know the broads were man made! Happy birthday for next week!
Thanks Andrew! Hard to imagine isn’t it - that’s a lot of digging!
it's a part of the country I have not visited but would like to. It's a bit different to the high peak where I'm from
Great video Simon, thanks. Happy birthday for next week.
Thanks Paul! 😁
Well done Simon, you made a great job of the video, look forward to seeing you out again especially the one you mentioned doing with Andy of Kent survival, thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you Mick! 😁
That pork looked amazing mate.
What a beautiful way to see the broads, I wish I could be bothered to shift my arse from the fireside and go and see the Norfolk Broads in winter for myself.
Very nicely filmed and edited too. Thank you...
Thanks Andy! Best time of year to visit - no hoards of stag weekend revellers and nitwits crashing into every other boat and bank on the Broads! 😁👍
I love the canoe videos. Happy Birthday, Simon. :)
Thank you! 😁🛶
Never saw someone walking so fast with carrying a canoe on top. Good music too.
That was lovely! Happy Birthday in advance.
Thank you! 😁
Happy Birthday!
I've wanted to due a paddle so bad these last few weeks but still froze and lots of snow cant wait till we thaw out the rivers get up and I can get out as always love the vids and living vicariously through your adventures !
Cheers! Hope the snow thaws soon!! 😁
Another great vid Simon and that pork looked great! Excited to see you and Andy out and about in Sweden 😁 ready for the mayhem and madness 😎
Thanks mate! Yes, Sweden is going to be amazing!! So excited!! 😁🛶🏕🔥
Hey Simon, I absolutely love your content! Found you recently while searching for a completely unrelated topic, but I'm very glad to have found your channel!
Thanks Jacob, welcome to the channel!
Great film as ever Simon, most impressive to persevere in all weathers. Delighted to hear about your trip to Stora Le and can’t wait the the stories about Sweden. My lad’s badgered me to go to Sweden with him so hopefully we’ll canoe from Kloten in September (we did that trip in 2012) with another couple of guys. Happy birthday too 👍🍷
Thanks Stu! I’m so excited about Sweden - not knowing where was good to paddle and where we could hire canoes, we were naturally drawn to Stora Le (that and the beautiful picture Dave painted of the place!) I hope you have a great time in September! 😁🛶
happy birthday from the states buddy! nice video.
You certainly picked a lovely day for it..ha ha..! I quite like fishing in the rain ...! I have a two piece floatation suit I bought for shore fishing ( sea..) Luxury it is in bad weather...and so toasty. With the hood up, its like a sleeping bag.
I felt the scratches as you tried to get the canoe over the weeds.....I love that boat..!😁
Cracking video again...Thanks for taking us along...Cheers 👍
Cheers Robert! Wish I had a dry suit that day! 💦💦💦💦💦 thanks mate. 😁
Superb video Simon. Puts my four mile paddle along the Shropshire Union canal today totally in the shade ! Thank you as always for inspiring . Happy birthday for next week mate.
Thanks Martin! 👍😁🛶
What a fantastic and entertaining video. Happy Birthday :)
Cheers Stuart! 😁
I have to say what a beatiful canoe. I just found youre channel and I Will follow it. Best regards from sweden
