A Canoe Trip on the Norfolk Broads - Part 1. Canoe Camping. Tarp and Bivvi. Cedar Strip Canoe.

[@Sweaty_Ken]

You have a knack for making the calmest, most soothing videos - particularly needed today - thank you.

[@martinfinch3401]

You know it's unwind time when Simon is on....🤗

[@SallySturman]

Aaand exhale......The canoe videos are my absolute favourites. Bliss.

[@kingrafa3938]

One of my fave

[@PhineasPhlob]

Well this was perfectly timed, needed this today. Really looking forward to part 2.

[@Arizona-Sonoran-Desert-Guy]

Thanks so much for your time and effort in the detailed filming, editing, and uploading. Thanks and gratitude to Mrs. In the Woods for loaning you out to us. Another peaceful and tranquil paddle/camp in the hallowed halls of Simon Adventures that I will watch many times over. I would like to see some of your Landy repairs and what you have to do to keep the chariot of the Gods running.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you mate! 🙏🏻

[@markjones8846]

Fantastic video. You produce some of the best content, thanks.

[@BahadurKrasmibalsingh]

Yes! Haven't watched yet but a thumbs up for Simon already 🫡

[@marklindsey4112]

Simon, you're here at just the right time, with just the right sort of soothing video. Totally needed it. That ended up a really lovely camp spot. Looking forward to part 2.

[@rogerminter3599]

You're correct. I had a day. Not bad, not good, it was just a day. I needed this too

[@margaretbagur3553]

I love seeing the artifacts of architecture you feature. The peacefulness of your videos is so wonderful.

[@Hiltok]

Lovely to see the cedar strip canoe out on the water again. Always a thing of beauty.

[@papajeff5486]

Heh, heh, “Everything now is covered in wine and smells lovely”. Simon, glad you enjoyed your paddle. We did too, thank you…from an old vet, retired in the US foothills of the Smokies.

[@chrismoose64]

What a pleasant trip. Been a while since I passed under Potter Heigham Bridge. 1976 to be precise. Thanks for taking me back, Simon.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

It doesn’t get any higher either! 😂👍

[@wendysandell]

Thank you can’t wait to watch. 👌

[@GaryGould-w3i]

Norfolk, misty and wonderful.

[@anoksf216]

Yes - a beautifully eerie county especially over the Autumn and winter months.

[@mz2062]

What a perfect way to wind down before bed. Theres always something about watching videos like this whilst tucked away in a warm bed. Great video!

[@garrysummerson5234]

There's my therapy right there, thanks Simon 👍

[@bradlafferty]

Needed. Thanks. You always have the best music. And the calm water and plashing sounds are so soothing.

[@josephinegibbs3902]

I adore Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons books, including the stories set on the Broads. So fun to see these locations from your point of view!

[@Dinki-Di]

Came here to say the same! Lovely to see the bridge at Potter Higham and imagine the members of the Coot Club easing their boat under it.

[@podthesod]

Coot club (Ransom) was my downfall too! Sailed all kinds of boat . Schooners, Pilot cutters, Mediterranean gin palaces But never happier than a Canadian Canoe on Martham Broad ….. Copacetic!

[@jeremydow1432]

@@Dinki-Di WAS THAT THE Margaurite I saw ? Watch out for those hulla-balooes ! ( spell-check ).

[@16vcrx]

That looks very familiar 😉 We're very lucky to live in a such a beautiful part of the world. Fantastic video. Looking forward to part 2.

[@chris_stacey]

Such a great thing to read all the comments and notice what an excellent community the wild campers and fans of bushcraft/camping are. Thanks Simon!

[@eventsmorewithchrisg]

My 1st bushcrafter to watch was Greg Ovens Rocky MT..Bushcraft, followed shortly by Bertram in the woods, Swedwoods, Corporal's Corner, Exploring with Marlo C who just got going not long ago & Simon, more or less in order of appearance. I'd be hard pressed to say who has better locations between Simon & Swedwoods, maybe followed closely by Greg Ovens & sometimes, Camping With Steve. Marlo's been getting some cool places out & around "Cow Hampshire" ( NH) recently so she's in the running!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

They’re a lovely bunch aren’t they 😁

[@robski8604]

That rising drone shot of the morning in "coming up next" part was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your wanderings with us.

[@derekperkins7343]

Haven't watched yet, but what a lift finding a new vid. I shall savour it. The opening bars of music have put me in a great mood.

[@susanfoord6507]

Dear Simon you don't no how much I enjoy your videos thank you for all your hard work x

[@scottplumer3668]

Thanks Simon. I needed this today.

[@rahmanazad4810]

Hi dear friend. I'm glad to see you again. Your videos are beautiful as usual

[@mclovinirish]

That sunrise. With the early morning mist and the river like glass. Spectacular sight. Would make for a fantastic painting.

[@eventsmorewithchrisg]

I agree & it's too bad somebody like Bob Ross isn't around to maybe try & recreate it as a painting

[@davidlambert2537]

Simon, I really enjoy your videos and thanks for taking us along !!! Yours are my favorite to watch and are never long enough !!!

[@taurota1554]

Awesome and outstanding content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@janwaller3585]

Nature , canoeing and a beautiful campsite, nothing beats that !❤️

[@papajeff5486]

And remember the wonderful music. Simon makes the most pleasant videos on KZbin because he gives great attention to details, a variety of skills, adventures, great meals and…wonderful music. Thank you, precisely, just what we needed, Simon…from an old vet, in the US foothills of the Smokies.

[@Blaygamez]

Simon I have to say, I really appreciate the effort you put into your filming. Backtracking on foot is one thing but in a canoe is just above and beyond in my book! It just makes the shot.

[@quantummotion]

Simon, your video shows the joy of being outdoors in the "off season". I find my favourite evening walks are in the dead of winter, during a snowfall, when most others are squirreled away. The streets are hushed and and the snow makes everything look pleasant! The Norfolk Broads are a treasure! Thanks for the video!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you! I totally agree, the quietest times of year when nobody else is about are the best 👍

[@coisi2940]

Another enjoyable video Simon in a wonderful part of the country. In 2023 I was lucky to get a guided tour of the restored mill at West Somerton with a splendid chap who was involved in the project and who does conservation work in the Broads. Anyway, the journey and the video make a great watch. Keep paddling.

[@caz-nbgalatea1528]

Yayyy tonight’s watch for us🤪👍👍

[@Anita-rq9ev]

Simon, you and your videos are very delightful. I always try to stop what I'm doing at the moment to watch you. It's like a little vacation. Thank you and stay safe 🙏

[@kccox3446]

❤Simon just Love when you take out your Canoe❤❤❤camp and cook❤ cant wait for the next part❤

[@JT-mg2if]

Great content as always!. Some of the shots you setup I want as paintings, they're so stunning. Cant wait for part two. All the best Simon.

[@fog360]

Best KZbin channel there is , so humble down to earth , and always fixing your Land Rover, another fantastic video buddy.

[@jonathanclyne2427]

BRILLIANT! Simon... Back to his best, great to see the canoe back in action. Fantastic!

[@sharontouchstone7400]

Absolutely love your videos. Beautiful Swans! Even the one that hissed at you! Lol! ❤

[@Kenbur]

Very good Simon - great to see the beautiful canoe out for a trip. thanks so much

[@dianejacklin4338]

Thank for sharing the video. Always tranquil music at the beginning. So nice to see the Broads.

[@mikebruce6234]

We love paddling around on the Broads, anytime of the year, fantastic. Thanks for these videos 😊😊

[@shermer75]

Loved this, nothing better than watching someone drift down the broads in canoe in the sunshine!

[@WhisperJetAmerica]

What a beautiful way to showcase your homeland. I sincerely enjoyed this presentation.

[@damedavidfrith55]

Thanks for another peaceful trip appreciate the effort you put into this 👏🏻🍺🧁

[@spoonerbooner]

After the day I've had, phew. And looking at my new boat that I have not had the chance to get out yet,, this is a very welcome video. Nice one Simon as always

[@apennell3575]

Luv the single storey wooden houses along the bank. Perfect place to live in Winter but not the peak holiday season.

[@williamkenyon9858]

and once again you have saved me from the drudgery of work....and you are in a canoe! a beautiful craft

[@p3ggy80]

Pure bliss Simon. Thank you.

[@AndersVinkler]

About time you brought that beautiful canoe back in the Water and took us along with you! 😃 Such great video! Tnx Simon🇩🇰

[@MichaelStuartRandle]

Always enjoy your videos, Simon. This was another good one. I EAGERLY await part 2. Cheers.

[@michaellecaplain3377]

Oh, soooooooo relaxing. Your content always delivers - thank you. 🙂

[@simonhjc]

What Water rat said to Mole- “believe me my young friend there is nothing, absolutely nothing half so much worth doing as messing about in boats” wind in the willows. Very therapeutic and again enjoying the history

[@robertknowles2699]

Bad windstorm August knocked tree onto me beginner ply William Jackson design 14 ft.; spent time patching her and insulated Cottage- roof patch almost complete. Go water rat !

[@beverlymurrin9470]

Thank you or showing us the Abby and so many parts of your country. Most of us will never have the opportunity to visit these places.

[@gavinhowe9762]

That looked perfect. The cedar strip, the sound of the water, the tranquility, the autumn sun, the cool air, the food and wine and the camp spot. Nice and relaxing

[@paulwhittle6728]

Simon, honestly you do this so well Sir. enough said.

[@Lightandlovetoyou]

Gosh so so lovely and wow part 2 looks to me like a dream !!!! Thanks Simon

[@alanrobertson5497]

A pleasure as always Simon, great video, love watching ❤❤

[@samsails9820]

I canoe this stretch on a regular, great shots thanks for sharing. 😎

[@gdluna7168]

I made your camp fire curry for me and my mom today for dinner and we loved it thank you for your recipe from 3 years ago ! I always look forward for your next video! G.D.Luna

[@craigmarsh3221]

Fantastic video very relaxing to watch so very enjoyable 😊

[@skwatson2617]

Always enjoy the naturalness of your videos. Great job Simon👍👌

[@thizizliz]

Opening scene is that gorgeous canoe. When I began watching your channel, you were building it. I was immediately hooked. This looks like a delightful trip as well. The Abby was probably my favorite due to the beauty of the stone/brick work. Stunning.

[@billkershaw2407]

Great video Simon, thank you so much for your videos..watching from my hotel room in Dublin 😀

[@j-bolo6637]

I’ve found myself gravitating towards your videos more and more over recent years. I’m in my early 30’s and the goings on in the world have provoked some poor mental health and your videos are a real escape from it all, It’s nice watching some local to me and that has some similar hobbies. So, thank you and all the best👍🏼

[@Oliverlikesbikes]

Outstanding video as ever - "often driven by people with little experience" you should have been a diplomat simon.

[@BreizhBushcraft]

Damn I really need to repair my canoe! I'm sure what will be another great series of videos mate, Cheers and have a great night!

[@scottgraham4683]

Another fantastic video Simon, in my favourite part of the country, thank you. Looking forward to part 2 already.

[@leslierhodes5467]

You can’t get a much better surrounding than the Broads when it’s a nice sunny day nice one, Mr

[@loegemini-tl2qi]

Well, you know people that finds treasure along the way they walk too are from. Why, thats because they do good things in their life. Plant good seed you will get good crops. You're the man Simon thanks for the video can't wait for part two.

[@madamecampsalot6384]

What a lovely paddle and a luscious looking supper. Love the sound of the woodie as she goes!

[@benf3607]

Great Vid Simon, always enjoy watching these and getting inspiration to get outdoors

[@shirleytan1575]

Thank you for bringing us along your trip, as promised, I've just finished & really enjoyed this part 1 while having my dinner. Eagerly waiting for part 2. Am planning for a simple solo one night camping next weekday, rain is expected but will take it as a challenge to perfecting my shelter building skills ...😋🤞🏻

[@PhilDodsworthOutandAbout]

Fantastic video Simon, nailed it again mate👍👍

[@JulieB.-wy3kd]

Another great video Simon, from my neck of the woods. Stew and dumplins, got to be done when in Norfolk. My granddaughters meal of choice when staying with nanny. The three sprouts were a great addition 😊

[@carlmarch9591]

💯 my mum did that for me the other week, our fine county

[@davidsayer3325]

Thanks for the video Simon really enjoyed this, looking forward to part two looks great.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Dave! 👍👍

[@antcullimore3550]

Hurray - out on the river in your wonderful wooden canoe again. Thanks Simon.

[@garydumbauld4212]

What a nice adventure. Thanks for the video. Beef stew and dumplings, oh my yes. Also a great fan of sprouts, anytime anywhere.

[@viewsandreviews180]

Simon, thank you for starting another canoe trip adventure series. I appreciate seeing the sites, your cooking and you keeping us up to date on happenings in and around the northern broad. I trust your trip was as fun and recreational as it seemed.
