Canoeing on the Norfolk Broads. Barton Broad and the River Ant. Bacon and Sausage over Charcoal.

New Years Day 2020, what a year!
In this video, I am back on the water in my homemade cedar strip canoe with my good buddy Ginge. We set off from Wayford Bridge and paddle south on the river Ant with supplies for a slap up lunch and a pile of dogs. Eventually, the River opens up into the impressive and stunning Barton Broad, the second largest of the Norfolk Broads and a wide and open expanse of water forming a haven for birds and other wildlife.
We find a quiet spot to stop amongst the trees and Ginge sets about rustling up bacon and sausage butties and tea cooked over charcoal. A delicious and well earned lunch - thanks Ginge!
After lunch we head back upstream, completing our paddle as the last glimpses of light fade - just in the nick of time.
I thoroughly enjoy being out on the water on New Years Day - there is just something about the tranquility, the sounds and the motion of the boat - perfect conditions to reflect on the past year and look forward to the exciting year ahead.
Thanks you all for your support over the past year and thank you for joining me today, out on the beautiful Norfolk Broads.
Happy New Year!

Just lovely Simon! I can't wait to see what you come up with for this year! I have been watching you for a year now and your videos are always amazing. Thank you for sharing your adventures with all of us!😊❤👍

[@cyndywaskelisthecrowscall]

Had just gone over 40,000 subscribers. Now, a little over a year later, there are 3x as many. I wonder if, like me, those other 80k subscribers have been living vicariously through these videos when they haven't been able to get out themselves. Thanks, Simon.

[@worfield1]

Who is disliking these videos? It's just a guy (bloke) doing what he loves and sharing with all of us! If it's not your cup of tea click a different video.

At the end ... Simon, a bloke in the dark 😄

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Hahaha - we were ill prepared for the dark - it almost came to using our phones to see by! 🔦🛶

[@KimberlyGreen]

@@simonablokeinthewoods Well then, starting 2020 in the dark means it can only get brighter from here 👍🏻

[@Mr.S65]

Kimberly G. Really? Little did we know

[@KimberlyGreen]

@@Mr.S65 I always look for the silver lining. 2020 was definitely darker than expected. But it gave Mother Nature a needed rest, gave families more time together, gave people a reason to find new ways of doing things (work remote, grocery delivery, etc), helped parents realize how important the role of schools is in our society functioning, etc. Sometimes, getting brighter means first pondering the dark & getting your bearings.

[@Mr.S65]

@@KimberlyGreen well, I must say it has gotten better here in the US after all... on top of that, we have three vaccines that are reliable. I guess 2020 ended up being fine under the circumstances and 2021 promises to get better :)

Happy New Year, Simon! Thx so much 4 sharing! Really wanted to pad Maggie 's head.Get well with that knee ;) had a tough day....saw the instagram Post and could hardly wait to get home. Your channel inspires me to challenge those anxiety thingies and get out anyway. Packing the hammocks, get on the bike with my man and "hang-out"...

Starting the video off with that big, black, fuzzy head in the middle of the shot made my day. Thanks, Simon (and Maggie). Ginger and his dogs were a bonus. I really did need that today. Happy New Year and all the best to you all. I can't wait to see what you and Mags bring us in 2020.

[@OoavastoO]

Happy New Year from across the "pond" Simon. I think my favourite parts of your paddling videos are your forward-facing shots and seeing the fuzzy top of Mags' head! Hard to know who is enjoying it more- you or her. I've personally had better years than 2019 but it wasn't all bad. Among other things, it's the year that I discovered your channel. Thanks for all the inspiration last year and looking forward to more of the same in 2020. ATB - Darby, Nova Scotia Canada

He does now, 154,000 in fact. And it wasn’t just one strange year but several. Simon’s videos are still helping us all too. We’re heading for another wave here and all I want to do is get outdoors, but it’s the middle of winter. Thanks to Simon I feel like I’ve got the next best thing… but I’m running out of videos to watch! Here’s to more adventures - we’re currently following him in Wales in the Land Rover with his Canadian friend.

Once it's in your 'blood' you can't get enough, right? Nature's beauty has it's own kind of spirituality that can ground the soul. Appreciate the quality of your vlogs as well as the humor. Keep 'em coming!

Happy New Year Simon. Thank you for the canoe ride. It must be great being able to paddle year round. I bet you'd go stir crazy not being able to go for 6 months out of the year. I'm already wanting to get out to kayak, but have to wait until April or possibly the end of March if I'm lucky. It's already been a couple weeks since I've gone put walking in the woods. Loved seeing Maggie enjoy her ride. Also love your choice of peaceful music sets the perfect mood.

Very much appreciate the fascinating factoid that Admiral Nelson learned to sail on Barton Broad. From the Norfolk Broads School of Sailing: "For decades, people young and old have learned to sail on these sheltered waters. Olympic yachtsman has earned their stripes in the many competitive sailing events, and sailing enthusiasts return year after year to enjoy this wonderful cruising ground. Even Admiral Horatio Nelson was taught to sail here as a boy, on Barton Broad, before joining the Royal Navy and going to sea at the age of 12."

Happy New Year a little late. It’s September 2020. Enjoyed your video. I’m an Artist and My husband and I used to canoe on rivers in Florida. Brought back many memories and gave me lots of inspiration from the scenes on your river. I did a little sketching while I watched. Thanks.

[@neillambton4065]

Hello Simon, lovely vid of an area i know well, we have a boat based at Brundall, and the Ant is my favourite river, especially above How Hill. That mill cottage is called Hunsett Mill, it was totally ruined when they built the pig ugly extension to the back and side, it was a real picture postcard cottage before they ruined it. I guessed you were going when you said about the secret staithe. Our boat is 43ft long, and in you vid, it looks like we may get in there to moor, though we may have to reverse in, and stern moor so we can get out ok without having to turn round in the staithe area. So thanks for posting this, it was particularly informative. I know you did the Waveney Navigation up to and beyond Geldeston Lock, and i believe you`ve done the Bure Valley Navigation above Coltishall Lock, but have you done the continuance of the Yare after if turns away from Norwich at Wensum Mouth?. I always love to see the upper non navigable stretches, especially where the huge wherries used to sail to.
