- In this video, I am over on the Welsh/English border to paddle a section of the river Severn with my good friends George, Rachel and of course Andy from Kent Survival.
We have three days to paddle from Welshpool to Shrewsbury, wild camping along the way and carrying all we need for the adventure in our canoes.
Day three begins with the most stunning early morning river mist - a most positive start to our final day on the river. After a hearty breakfast, we pack up and get back on the water - our camp spot on the narrow beach of an island has been fantastic - better than we could have hoped for and totally unexpected.
Our last day takes us along nicely flowing water, lined with trees and teaming with wildlife as we wind our way towards the town of Shrewsbury and the hustle and bustle of civilisation.
It has been a wonderful journey along a beautiful river full of surprises and a delightful feast for the eyes whichever direction you look. Thank you George and Rachel for inviting us to join you and thank you for organising and arranging everything - it is always a logistical challenge organising a linear canoe trip, but everything worked like clockwork!
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.

Simon adds to the quality of life for so many people. Such simple adventures yet so satisfying.
Thank you Chris! 🙏🏻😁
Amen
No other outdoor channel can hold a flame to Simon, Bloke in the Woods. Incredible editing skills, most gorgeous locations every time he takes us along. All with a rare depth of honesty & sincerity in his gentle, respectful nature. Thanks for it all Simon.
Thank you so much for capturing our adventure! It was such a brilliant trip, so many laughs, and very wet feet, but had such a great time and would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
Until the next adventure... 😁
Thanks Rachel! It was bloody great wasnt it! Can’t wait for our next adventure!
Enjoyed that series, I've never paddled the Severn and was surprised at the speed of flow.
Kudos to Andy for attempting it in an origami Kayak.
Watching you every week is like a vacation for the soul. Beautifully filmed and edited. Thank you for making all the effort. Stay safe 🙏
Thank you Anita! 🙏🏻
Aww, baby Merganser ducks with their messy hair… so cute!
What a calm, peaceful trip with perfect weather. Thanks for taking us along!
Those ducks were my favourite part, so cute!
@@bethdoublekickchick8007 30 years ago it was a big deal seeing a goosander with young in Shropshire. There was a bit of a fuss when they bred on our farm (Teme).
@@vinnalls375 Aww that's lovely!
When Simon smiles I smile too
It’s a lovely feeling
Thank you sir
Really appreciate that you spend far more time viewing the gorgeous scenery than shooting your mouth off! Another great vid! Cheers...
The world needs more of this.
Partly WIND IN THE WILLOWS! What a fine British river the Severn is. What fine summer weather. The final frames are wonderful in showing a variety of people and crafts enjoying the river and in showing mixed scenery.
You have no idea how much I need a lovely Simon video right now. My cat Darcy will very soon be crossing over the rainbow to meet Simon's beautiful Maggie dog and I am distraught and can't think straight. These few minutes of peaceful escape are so welcome. Thank you.
Very sorry for you, sending you strength 🙏
Where there is deep grief, there was great love. Thoughts & prayers to you and your beloved friend, for peace & strength to you. x
So sorry, I do know how you feel. You'll be ok soon, just cry until it's gone for a while. And then cry again. It will be better soon. Sending hugs ❤
Thoughts are with you Carol, and Darcy.
So very sorry Carole, I’m sure when the time comes, Darcy and Maggie will make friends and look out for each other. The grief is the price we pay for that deep deep love. Thinking of you.
What a wonderful group of lovely folks to go adventuring with. Really enjoyed the virtual comradery with George, Rachel, Andy and you, too, Simon. This was such a wonderful series of posts. Some of the best content on CZcams in my opinion. Simon tailgating a swan made me giggle. The scenery was so beautiful and the company was so pleasant and relaxing. So glad everything went off so well. Thank you for working so hard to take us along, Simon. It's always such a pleasure when your videos pop up in my notifications. Can't wait to go along on your next adventure! All of ya'll take care and be safe! 👍👍☺☺🧡🧡🙏🙏
Just what I needed today; a vicarious paddle. Thank you!
Thanks Simon, Guys and Gal. Really enjoyed joining you in these three videos. Such a calm and pleasent journey down the Severn with you all . The sights and sounds were so relaxing . Heres to many more Simon. Great job .
Killing the jelly babies....lol
I lived in Shrewsbury for a while, that river is a beast in the winter, a joy in the summertime. Great vlog Simon, thank you x
best part is Simon emerging from his "cocoon" to face the day! The rest is beautiful, however, the emergence is epic! thanks Simon
And the poor guy had to do it twice just to get the shot! Who else would volunteer to wake up twice in a morning?!
Haha - thanks mate!
Lovely and relaxing to watch, you are such a gentleman Simon.
Beautiful location, scenery, and production... It's such a joy to watch. Thank you for the upload, Simon.

Great little series. We all loved it !
Best adventure video and stunning scenery thanks Simon for sharing yours adventures videos sad it comes to an end absolutely amazing Simon cheers 👍
Thank you Andrew! 😁
good to catch up enjoyed that thanx Simon 🤟
I absolutely love the music at the end of the video. I'm part Irish❤
Thanks Simon, it's a lovely series.
I came to canoeing in my 40s having lived near the Severn until I left for Uni.
The videos have given me the inspiration to head back to the borders and paddle with my family.
I may even look to extend your trip and head to Ironbridge where i grew up.
All the best and keep inspiring us to get out there.
Thanks for sharing your journey into my home town
So peaceful and relaxing to watch ❤
The speed of you devouring those jelly babies 😂
Great video again Simon. Thanks for taking us along. Wonderful!
Another great video to finish on Simon the scenery looks so beautiful
The nature sounds r awesome and seeing the nests alongside the stream is COOL !!!
Early morning... the mist coming off the river. Makes me want to grab my fishing rod. Fab !
6 jeely babies in one go lol class Simon!
Just spent two hours with my hand down a drain - stressed but job done and a simon video with a beer - all is good again thanks
What a beautiful, picturesque video Simon. So peaceful listening to the birds and seeing the swans on their nests. So pleased the four of you had a lovely three days
As always when it comes to your canoe trip videos - inspirational! You capture the beauty of the river and its surroundings, the joy of paddling and subtly demonstrate the J-stroke.
Nooo! Too slow to be first 😞 Also, I am deeply envious of your coffee pot!
The way you loaded those sweets into your mouth, poetry in motion!👌😆
An absolutely beautiful place, Simon. Thank you for sharing with us! And give our thanks to your friends for making this trip happen.
So relaxing and peaceful, thank you for yet another beautifully captured video Simon!
I love this canoe trip you’ve been on. So many swans. So cool to see. Thank you Simon for taking us with you!!
Awesome series! Thanks for another great adventure!
The figure on the bank put me in mind of the film Don't Look Now .
Beautiful video. Love how you devoured those Jelly Babies 😄. You all looked like you had a great time .
Lovely video as always Simon.
Was certainly back to reality at the end with all those other people about.😊
Another great video Simon! A great adventure with great friends! That's what it's all about. Thank you for sharing.
Great vid - although was expecting at several points to see ‘Simon - a bloke attacked by Swans’ ! 😂🎉
They were quite chilled thankfully! 😂

He wasn’t wrong. Thanks for taking us along on all three parts of this adventure. Brings me happy memories of living on our waterways.
just gone and re-watched day 1 & 2 when i saw this was live, cracking set of videos Simon, looks like you all had a whale of a time!
Nice Yes! good days what you had feels good to be a live. Sorry you had to return to work.
This is DEFINITELY on my 'to do' list.
Really great to see what it's like from the water and what obstacles/hazards to expect.
Thank you so much Simon.
Lovely Touchers birds
Absolutely stunning, gorgeous, beautiful... all the way through. You are simply the best, Simon.
A laugh out loud moment: Simon stuffing himself with jellies. Gotta love him!
A beautiful canoe, Simon! Tks for sharing the birdsong and the river! 👍🇨🇦😎🏞
Beautiful scenery!
How beautiful is that. Just absolutely stunning. Sigh🥰
Thanks for another great video, beautiful river and surroundings.
Those poor jelly babies didn't stand a chance 😆😄
I think it’s time for a Simon and Andy adventure. ❤
Absolutely fantastic! Enjoyed watching. 👍
Thank you, Simon. Another great Video. That bridge was Awesome...
Great trip! Thanks for sharing my friend 🤠
The time and effort that you go to, to go back and recover a camera continues to amaze me. When with others, I may ask someone following to collect a camera, but no way would I put in such the great effort that you do to make the scenes so realistic.
Andy and his paper canoe! looks like a lot of fun.
Really great trio of vids Simon, a really varied river, thanks for posting it.
Well, I waited until I had watched all 3 before leaving a comment. So now I have, all I have to say is Bloody well done, and wow you got some amazing/beautiful footage. Great video/adventure. Can't wait to see what you do next.
PS. Tell your buddy in the Kayak he would have found it easier if he had the paddle the right way round, it was upside down the whole paddle lol.
😂😂 I’ll let him know!
Thank you! It was a lovely little journey 👍
Anyone else here after watching blott? Fantastic mate lovely job ❤
Good video. Was nice to see my home town from a different perspective.
Man, my man Andy lost a lot of weight! Great video! Love you and Especially Andy!😊
Wowsers that is some aggressive Jelly Baby consumption!!! Awesome vid as always thanks Simon!!! 🛶 ☀️
Great show I love being on the water ... I can't help but chuckle at Andy's folding boat it's honestly more novelty I believe than actual long voyage water craft buy hot job done I suppose. Thanks for sharing
What a 3 day adventure Simon, Andy, George and Rachel.
It was absolutely amazing! 😁
What a lovely stretch of river and a great river adventure.
Brilliant Simon throughly enjoyed the trip along the river. Excellent videos and I am sure you had great company. Cheers. B. K

Those cows in one video got a giggle out of me, bcuz they were all standing in a row, up on a high bank and staring down at yall Lol.. Great video..
I've never had bacon as good as English bacon...amazing.
Fantastic videos as always Simon. I am always amazed about the quality of the filming, the setups and your editing. Must take so much time and planning. So glad you put the effort in it and share it with us. Much appreciated mate! Thanks!

Lovely trio of videos! We arnt a million miles away from the Severn, bit higher up nearer Bewdley, Stourport, Bridgnorth . Nice to see a different aspect of the river 😊
love when you do the multiple day adventures simon enjoyed also the ones in norway if the folks watching havent seen those check them out a real feat of endurance but very enjoyable never the less and well worth watching love the channel and keep them coming
Second lol. Great video,love watching your adventures. More please
I’m glad your opening shot was the swan on the river rather than you crawling out of your cocoon 😊
Beautiful video Simon. Love the beginning .Thank you so much. The canoe has great lines and hull shape. Must be fun to paddle. Nice with the wood gunnels. Thank You !
Hi Simon!! Seeing a new video from you just made my week. I’m dealing with a lot of really heavy stuff in life just now and you are the escape. Bless.
Even though Simon didn't actually have fishy noodles in this vid, I couldn't resist having them again. I even made them in the garden on the honey stove. Classic.
Lovely paddle
Outstanding! Ye that dreaded four lettered word W-O-R-K 🤦♂️ Still look forward to the next adventure. Great series, really quite peaceful and breathtaking. Well done all 🇮🇪🇮🇪Atb Tony
Simon, thanks for another adventure, I really enjoyed it.
Bless Andy (A.K.A. "Captain Birdseye"), he looks like a kid following his dad in his toy canoe
Hi everyone thank you for sharing your adventure watching in Limerick city Ireland good health and best wishes to you all
I just want to say I really love your videos, you put so much into them I love them, I have told my friends about you and they have now been watching you.🎉🎉🎉

Thank you once again Simon
