Enjoy the beautiful Autumnal colours along the River Bure in Norfolk Broads in November. A canoe trip from Coltishall to the village of Hoveton next to Wroxham. A maiden voyage in my Sevylor Adventure Plus inflatable canoe.
I take a Wild Stealth Camp on the banks of the Bure, (7:05 mins) surviving under tarp lean-to-shelter. I enjoy a camp fire, evening meal and try to dry my sock over the flames! I will share the Folklore tale of Old Shuck, the Norfolk Black Devil Dog!.
After breakfast of sausages and coffee, I set of to my destination, meet some inquisitive swans, but wait! There is a surprise in store with a possible malfunction of the inflatable floor in the canoe! Will I make it or not?
What a great video, very relaxing, great music, I’m going exploring the Scottish lochs soon in my kayak, cant wait.
Thanks Hamish. Have a great time 👍
Nice one, thanks. Definitely on my short list of ‘new toys’ this spring
Luckily the issue was that I had not tightened the "release" value which caused the air loss. I think the canoe is actually pretty robust!
Thanks! This is definitely an impressive video!
Very nice of you. Thankyou
Really neat video.. I dunno how you got some sleep after the tale.. Sod that!! Subscribed, keep them coming!
Cheers! Thanks for subscribing, it means alot. Watch out for my next Norfolk Ghost story!
@@divum lol I'd kinda say no thanks as our boats there and the black shuck one has haunted us a few times! Brill vids though, love the little facts and stories, Certainly keep them coming. (P.s stick more keywords as the video title, such as Wild camp, Canoe, Norfolk Broads, etc etc to get more hits)
Would love to see more canoe journeys and wild camp. Great video
Thanks very much for your support & comment. Great news!....I'm planning a canoe trip in the next 2 weeks.
This type of inflatable doesn’t always get a good write up but then you do a youtube search and the number of people doing tours in just this particular one it is quite staggering. Other much expensive kayaks are nowhere to be seen.
Thanks for your comment. This canoe was actually pretty good for me. It turns out I hadn't seated the valve properly, which created a small leak. Quite good for the price
Awesome video I'm a local lad who just got into kayaking and you have given me a plan for my weekend off 😂
Thanks Tom for watching. I'm glad the video inspired you. Keep watching 👍🏼
What an adventure, really inspiring! I'll be heading up to the broads after lockdown with my kayak. Great horror story too 🤪😄
Brilliant! I'm really glad you liked it. Thanks a lot for watching. FYI I have some other canoe videos you might like. Cheers
Ordered the canoe last week, can not wait to make trips like yours!
That's brilliant Ronnie! Good to hear. Check out my other canoe videos!
DIVUM doing just that right now..:)
Such wonderful video! I like to listen to the sounds of nature and some of the calm nice music...not like in other kanu videos with loud techno or rock music. And look at that: you speek German really good! ;-) Thank you for the video!
Thanks very much for your nice comment. I'm really glad you liked the video. 👍🏼
Another great vid, our boat is based in Brundall, and this September for the first time, we have just bought, and will be bringing with us, a Sevylor inflatable canoe. I was concerned about your floor going flat, did you find out why, leaky valve, or puncture, or was it a faulty floor from new, i`l know what to look for?.
Next time you do this trip, if you do that is, i`d recommend a trip through "Bridge Broad", it`s the one inside the bend on the upside of Hoveton railway viaduct, opposite the quay heading. I`ve often considered mudweighting overnight in there.
Thanks Neil.
I hadn't seated the valve correctly and it had snagged on the plastic lanyard creating a small gap which allowed air to release. Since then I've been careful to make sure it is seated correctly and I haven't had any further issues.
Thanks for the broad tip. 👍🛶
Great vid. Though you might have just put me off buying the Sevylor Adventure like I was going to :D
Thanks for your comment. Actually, it was just a leaky valve because I had not tightened it enough! A bit of a school boy error on my part. I check the canoe the next day and its absolutely fine. In fact I hope to go out on it in the next few days...
You should team up with Bedtime Stories.......you'll have a brilliant time!!!
I like a good ghost story! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
I'm planning on buying one of these for such trips. But i wonder, will it fit two men with gear?
Please see my video with my brother. It's only a fun vid, but you can see that 2 people with some kit is possible. Cheers. Thanks for the question
Why didn't you sleep in your canoe. Probably it deflated slightly to make it more comfortable for you. You need a tarp to keep off the dew. But then, you can stay in the sack until the sun comes up. My buddies and I started "packrafting" in 1974. I got the Tahiti K79 that weighed 13 pounds they got the oval, "two man" which was a couple of pounds lighter.
A junior canoe paddle served as both a paddle and a walking stick At 45 pounds, our packs were good for a week. We did the Bob Marshal, Swan, Blackfoot, Clark Fork rivers in Montana and I did the Snoqualmie, Columbia and Lewis in WA. I also did the McKenzie and Willamette while living in Eugene. Few places are more Ideal for a fly fisherman than a river sand bar. And, leaving in your boat on a river with nothing to do for 3 or ? days but float, fish and camp on a sand bar is as close to heaven as I have ever been.

Hi Iguana, Sounds like my idea of heaven. We just don't have that sort of wilderness in the UK. I can only dream of that kind of expedition.....
I did a video about sleeping in the canoe....its a great idea....Thanks
Never ever got why you guys feel the need to show what your shoving in your face? ....... you are doing something brilliant with the most fantastic scenery...... and I’ve got to watch you eat ...........other than that .... really cool stuff!
Thanks. Sorry
Hi I’m thinking of buying this canoe but I’m a bit put off with the base going down so quick did you find out why it did it ?
Thanks for watching! Have no fear! The air leaked from the valve, because I had not seated the cap correctly. My mistake.
I am still regularly using the canoe. It's brilliant 👌
Great videos, inspire me to make an adventure in the norfolk broads. Have you ever had an issue with people stopping you from wild camping or are you generally left alone? I hear the broads authority clamp down on unlicenced kayakers, just wondering if they kick off wild campers
Thanks for watching.
The Broads wardens are active and definitely ask about licensing. I recommend a BCU license because it's only slightly more than a Broads one, but let's you paddle on most of UK.
Wild camping requires the permission of the land owner, otherwise it can be a trespass. If confronted by the land owner or agent of, then just move! I have never had an issue.
In the high season, all sorts of tents appear on the riverside or Bank and boats may also moor-up. Just be respectful, never litter and do no damage.
@@divum yes, I am already a BCU member so not worried about licences. I think if this virus goes away i will have to find the time to come to norfolk for 1 or 2 nights. Thanks for your videos, very interesting
I like your life jacket where can I get one?
Nookie NKE Centre Zip Buoyancy Aid
about £55 from Amazon
Thanks bud. My good lady just got me one of these adventure pluses for my birthday unfortunately its stuck in a port somewhere due to Brexit. I cant wait to take it out with my son.
@@116homer sorry to hear that. I know they are difficult to get hold of. I hope you can get it soon and enjoy it with your son👍🏼
Just remember... Make sure the valves are tight or they may leak air!
@@divum thanks for the heads up.
What happened to the base of the canoe that it deflated so quickly? An issue?
It was my bad! The valves for inflation and deflation are combined. Make sure that they are tight after deflation or they will leak!!! - as I found out.
Have you used it since? Any further issues with deflation etc? Looks like a great piece of kit
Yer used it again. No problem. Hopefully many more times in the summer
@@divum excellent, definitely tempted. Aiming to invade the Norfolk Broads as it happens too. Happy paddling!
Just bought an inflatable on our local eBay. Cheap because wintertime and this year all cold and rainy. Looking forward to spring to camp on some canal islands in north west of Netherlands
Thanks for watching! I used it loads. Made some other videos about it. Sold it last year! Now using my wooden and plastic canoes.
Good luck👍🏻
Peddling with the backside of your peddle...lol..Anyway...it took you were you wanted to be.
Thanks for comment. I don't understand you. The paddles are fully reversible. There is no back side. They are identical flat paddles! Sevylor KC Compact 215 Convertible Paddle
Could be one of the problems of filming with a wide angle lens. It distorts any straight lines near the edge of the frame which has resulted in the paddle blades appearing to be curved away from the camera so it looks as if they are reversed in some of the shots.
Are yes! Now I understand. Good observation Thanks John.
