No, a 360 camera. They are ok, they need a lot of light to look good and editing gives you a resolution of 1080 at best (unless it’s the ‘small world’ view). The latest ones are better but not by a quantum leap.

@@NorfolkNomad-UK from what I can make out, the landowners have little interest in maintaining the river BUT there is a local hero called Trevor who regularly kayaks up and down the river cutting back branches, clearing debris and maintaining the waterway - he cleared the blockage days after seeing the video. Because of his work fish numbers and species are increasing. He is not paid although he does get money if he needs new tools, in my eyes, Trevor is an absolute legend and we need more people as dedicated as he is. In theory, those landowners who claim the river for themselves should clear their own mess or should be made to clear their own mess but in practice that never happens, for now, thank goodness for Trevor!

A beautiful ride through gorgeous countryside on a warm sunny day. What a simple pleasure. You must've enjoyed that! Please may we ask you: Do we need to get a licence or permit to go along that Wensum river between Ringland and Taverham? If so, how do we get one? From whom? You see: We live in Aylsham, and about to buy an inflatable double-seater kayak, so we fancy enjoying that pretty route. Thank you. Andrew.
@timsytanker
@timsytanker 8 ай бұрын
Rule of thumb is that if the river is navigable by ‘pleasure craft’ then you need a licence, you don’t need one if the river is useable by paddle craft only but some sections may be ‘private’ - not sure how you can own a river! I joined British Canoeing, with membership comes a river licence which covers you for most things and keeps the ‘show us your licence’ brigade happy!

It’s lack of ditch/ drain maintenance as well, just down the road from me it’s been completely flooded across the road for months (about welly high), an ‘expert’ from the council came out and said the drain was blocked - no s#|t Sherlock! Pot holes get mended and a month later they have returned to their natural holey state… The A14 near Stowmarket has been in a state of resurfacing for probably a couple of years, they ‘completed’ one side and started on the other only to have to start repairing the just completed part because it’s cr¥p…. We can’t seem to do anything well in this country these days! If my memory serves me rightly, when the M1 was built, they completed a mile every 8 days and built the bridges in 5, these days we get slowly get nothing done… Sadly I can’t see things changing, land will flood for months at a time, pot holes will continue to wreck cars, traffic will sit in mile long road works with no one about.

Presumably to "Kill off" any competition in Britain !!!! Modern Commercial TT, is probably a good idea as the average British home is now to small in reality for OO scale !!!
