I was afloat on 11th May 2007 for one week and aiming to do the Warwickshire Ring. We arrived in the rain and more rain was predicted for a few days so we decided to go anti-clockwise to leave the lock flights until later in the week.

This is the Saturday starting just below Napton J (at Napton Bridge) when we did the whole Upper Oxford Canal finishing at Hawkesbury Junction. This video only goes to Ansty as my battery ran out for the final 10 mins or so.

The video was captured using a Ricoh R6 in interval mode taking a shot every 5 seconds, any slight gaps are in the battery changes.

Notice how the day starts bright and then gets cloudy and a rain storm comes in. We started at 8am, stopped at Rugby at 1pm until 3pm to get supplies, have lunch, and wait for the rain to stop. We got to Ansty for 6pm and then Hawkesbury J shortly afterwards.

8 hours cruising time represented here in 6m30s of time lapse.

  • I'm looking into how Youtube transcode's videos, since it looks fine before upload. I guess its a matter of setting the right data rates (to avoid the pixelation). My camera can only take shots as fast as 5sec (on time lapse mode - I can do faster on continuous shooting, but that's not for long periods like hours!). I converted this to 12.5fps so as not to go too fast - so effectively 1 fphoto every 2.5 sec as premiere interpolates inbetween.

  • A nice way to get an impression of a boating region. Great video:-)

  • Great to watch your video... It brought back so many memories of that cruise from Napton to Ansty. We moored at Sawley and have friends that still moor at Napton. I really miss the canals and the pleasure of narrowboating. Thanks for sharing your trip.

  • We like this one a lot and can maybe see what you mean about the video not being quite as smooth as you would like. The interesting thing is though that the movement of the clouds looks perfect.

    At least you got all the locks before the rain set in. We got monsooned until after the top locks!
