Grand Union Canal D5 Uturns (Time Lapse)

Day 5 of my cruise down the GUC takes us from Marsworth down to Cowroast Lock. Initially hoping to go down to Aylesbury we find its closed to general boating (blue green algae). So we continue up the GUC now the locks are open (as they close in the afternoon when blue-green algae is on the move!!) and head off down Wrenbury Arm (now partly restored to incorporate a new winding hole and visitor moorings), before heading back up after a long lunch and over to Crowroast Lock.

We turn round (to head back up) before the lock mooring here - or do we??!

Images taken with a Ricoh R6, produced in Adobe Premiere Elements. A new animated route map allows you to follow the boat as it goes along the canal.

Lovely video, brings back memories of cruising that stretch last year. I've been trying to get together a timelapse setup myself. Would you mind sharing the technical details of yours? Frame rate, exposure interval etc.

WOW, I have spent so much time fishing marsworth it's great to see all the spots, just after the wendover arm, bridge 1 there are two boats moored on the left and I have had amazing sessions in that area, one to the far side and one along the boat ive had upto 15 fish in a day upto 23lb!
