Narrowboat Timelapse on The Grand Union Canal - Uxbridge to Yeading.

Great video! Were you staying at Willowtree Marina? I tried to follow your journey through Google maps and it seemed to me that you were heading that way.

@pedroinlondonvideos Yes, Willowtree is my home mooring. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Lovely Video :-) To be a F1 Driver on the canal :-) How long did that journey take in real time. I am on the Cov-Ashby most of the time and I recon average speed is 2.5-7 mph

@KAOSRIFLE Thanks, Typically it takes me about 3 hours to do the 7 miles, but the rain and two changes into dry clothes made the journey stretch to about 5/6 hours. That length of canal can be quite slow progress due to the amount of rubbish, bags (and coconuts!) thrown in by the locals that find their way around the prop necessitating a blast of reverse to clear or a dive down the weedhatch.

@eightpot42 'Sounds like a good place to go with your canal spotters hand book' - i.e. To mark off what you haven't seen floating in the canal. Not seen a cow yet but most other animals :-( and YES Coconuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! I went into Coventry a few months back and I spotted dozens............
