Night Cat has a short video that shows how to set it up properly. The straps wrap around the tree once and are set quite far apart on the tree, to facilitate a sturdier feel when laying down. Great video, thanks.
Thanks for the info!
😊 nice video. You were better off on the tarmac. I rode that part a few weeks ago in an event. Overgrown and nasty deep ruts, several people came off as did I but still enjoyed the route
Thanks very much for your support. Sorry to hear you fell off. Beautiful countryside...but not really a cycle path!
Crap hammock , flips on side leaves you trapped . Cheap materials don’t buy !

I agree with the extra tarp setup. I would be interested in trying the tarp the other way so the pointy end was above the door, with the guy line staked with a 4ft pole in front of the doorway. Thanks to both of you.
Thanks. I find hanging the ridge line is easy using the same trees that support the hammock. The extra tarp is definitely my preference. Cheers
Hello, I would love to do this, but we don't own any canoes or kayaks, is there any way to rent them from somewhere nearby?
Hi. Thanks. I'm not really sure. Perhaps a google search??! Sorry I can't help....
Eine schöne Vorstellung!👍 Grüße von Prignitz Outdoor.
Ich sollte doch ein Video auf Deutsch machen! Vielen Dank vor Ihrer Nachricht
@@divum If you can do that, it would be very nice. 👍 Unfortunately, my English is not so good, although I try to do it. 😁 Greetings from Prignitz Outdoor.
Is your bike carbon?
Yes.
is the bottom definetly waterproof
I believe so. It's the same material as the ground sheet of my tents. Night Cat advertises it as a stand-alone bivi tent...so the hammock bit becomes a ground sheet.
It has a sort of rubberised coating?
Great vid but as much as i love the Broads, they are ANYTHING BUT a wilderness. Man made, surrounded by farmland, heavily 'managed'. The Back River in Northern Canada, now that's wilderness.
Yer I know!....but why let reality spoil a good story!
Love your videos. I only live 10 to 20 minutes bike ride from a lot of the places you visited and cycle the same routes regularly. Love the stove/ twig burner and cooking pots you used. Any more info on these please?
Thanks for your support. I'll get back to you with details
@@divum Cheers. Just found more very helpful details in your video description.
You could stealth camp on the water in the canoe 😉👍🏻
Absolutely! Just make sure the mooring rope is secure...or you wake up down river!!!🫣🤣
Top bit of cooking! Bravo!
Very nice of you. Thanks 👍🏻
i'll second that!👍
This type of inflatable doesn’t always get a good write up but then you do a youtube search and the number of people doing tours in just this particular one it is quite staggering. Other much expensive kayaks are nowhere to be seen.
Thanks for your comment. This canoe was actually pretty good for me. It turns out I hadn't seated the valve properly, which created a small leak. Quite good for the price
Thx for this absolutely great presentation and explanation. Guess I will order one. Greetings from Germany 👋
Danke für deine Nachricht. Macht's gut. 👍🏻
Love the Waveney around there! Cracking video!
Thanks very much. Yep, it's a great river. 🏞🛶
I passed through a couple of days ago on my bike and signed the book at the war grave site.
Respect👍🏻
I'm on my final few days of riding the route I've enjoyed learning more about the history of war. The German war grave at Lommel just took my breath away.
Thanks, Paul. Yes, it's deeply moving.
I’ve just discovered your channel today, loving the paddling videos on the Broads, my local waters, please don’t go all American, counter clockwise!!!! Surely it’s anticlockwise in Britain, sorry but I’m an let’s keep our identity type, I know you UA-camrs cater for your American audience but you can still speak as you were brought up to. Right, rant over 😂
Sorry guys... from the getgo I oftentimes like, confuse my like counter with my anti, won't make the same mistake twice...
Since I’m enjoying your content you’re forgiven 🤣
Great video, it’s a lovely paddle between Beccles and Oulton Broad, I’m intrigued, was that really a wild camping spot or was it part of the Waveney river centre at Burgh St Peter as you were so close to it and I know a path covers that area, I’m a local boy.
Well...that would be telling...the first rule of Wild Camping is..."never talk about your wild camp locations". Cheers.
Good answer
Waveney River Centre no longer has any camping...only caravans.
Ha! Try Mudeford spit beach hut, Dorset, 500,000!! Yes, 1/2 a million!. Thanks for this series. Very interesting and helpful.
Very welcome. Thanks. Half a million🤔🤔🤔
Hi Andrew, I hope you are keeping well, it's Ben here. Another great watch, I am going out for the first time in a while on the inflatable canoe, still deciding if I should camp or not, I think I will because the weather is nice. Cheers, Ben
@AgriAviation hi Ben. I hope exams etc went OK? Yes you must make the most of any good weather. Hope the inflatable is holding up. 👍🏻🛶
What a joyfull video! We're not alcoholists!!! 😂 It seems nice to be outdoors in the rain and have a beautiful following morning with a clear blue sky. It's always lovely to watch your adventures
@boerinmetkoeien7190 thanks very much indeed. While making the video I realised how much we enjoy a nice wine!
I have watched loads of camping videos and hands down I enjoyed this video the most. Very well done without the ego of( I know it all attitude) of lots of previous videos I've seen. AWESOME JOB!
@COOSA6870 thanks so much. I really appreciate the feedback 👍🏻🙏😊
I used to love running in the rain. Once you accept that you’re going to get wet and just embrace it, it’s actually rather enjoyable!
To a point😀....the boats had a weight of water in them when we hauled out!
@christrower thanks Chris. The old adage "no bad weather... only bad clothing choices" comes to mind!
It FELL down!!! But the tents did their jobs! As did the curry and wine............🤣
Sure did!!!
It ant a 🔐 it is a loch please
Good going and awesome shots of the storm and Rochford hall, what drone were you using?
The drone is a Mavic Air. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
You are too tall for that tent
The tent is too small for me
You've inspired me to do this trek. Can't decide to walk or bike. I have a road bike but one with fatter tyres would be more suitable (mudguards too). If walking water would be a problem. Wild camping is for me too.
Definitely not suited to a road bike. May be a Gravel bike. There are various villages where you could get some water but these might need a deviation. Good luck 👍🏻
is that torran bay you launched from
Sure is.
sheila and her late husband were friends of ours spent many nights at torran before during and after the hostel was built many great catches and adventures a realkl lovely family and were good to us anglers
@williamconnor7249 thanks. Lovely to hear.👍🏻
I have a Riese and muller foldable bike with 18inch wheels. Do yo think I would still have enough clearence from the ground you think ? Thx for the video !
I'm not sure 🤔 because there is a limit on how much the yoke tilts up and down in elevation. Sorry. Maybe the manufacturer specifications will answer that query.
really nice to watch , thank you very much.
Thanks so much. Have a great day 😀
Alot of packaging
Think you could fit two in there?
Not really. It's a reasonable size but not enough room for two. (Maybe 1 plus a dog?!!🐕😄)
so expensive tho (crying face) I really want this now !
expensive relative to what? Its nearly half the price of the Haven?
@@lauriebloggs8391 £152.99 ????? Not everyone is living rich or wealthy
Very nice! What month was this ride? I plan to start the Eurovelo 15 here around the second week of May and was wondering if this area will still have some snow.
It was 4th May. There was still loads of snow for some weeks after
Im glad i seen this as ive just purchased this kayak and my imediate thought was sleep in it!
Give it a try! Cheers
Beautiful video as always. It makes me want to buy a kayak and a drone! No point in having one where I live though as the nearest river is miles away!! Take care. Jay
Cheers JP. Thanks as ever. Drones can be problematic....always the fear it will crash in the river!!!!
If a hard kayak is impractical, there are a range of folding types, from sit ons, sit ins, and canoes. Have a look at some videos of the Decathlon Itiwit X500 ?
For me anyway, the major problem with sleeping in a kayak is that it is more than likely going to be soaking wet after a day paddling.
Yep! I would suggest only nice weather in the summer and take a towel!😁 Thanks for the comment
Hey mate my favourite launch we go up to Ludham bridge bakery, ex AAC too
Thanks ! Is that the cafe by the bridge? I love that cafe location.
@@divum that’s the one Dollies bakery, cakes and massive sausage rolls
Beautiful.......Fairhaven is good for cake too!!😀
Oh, we love a bit of cake!!!!🍰🍰🍰
Thanks for the video, I love paddling the Broads. Just a quick question or two. What is the kayak you are using, it did look very speedy. Also what camera did you use to film, the stabilisation was very impressive. Thanks
Thanks Rob. It's a Gopro 10 Black and the kayak is a Venture Easky 15. Touring/sea kayak.
Thanks, excellent paddle, will have to complete this one day, its on my to do list.
Thanks for the upload mate. I'll watch it later on my night shift
That'll send you to 😴 🤣🤣
your mate stopped using the kayak paddle?
He wanted to trial it. The verdict was good. I think he'll probably switch between the traditional and kayak paddles.
@@divum as a kayaker i have been contemplating a journey in sweden , and obviously a canoo will offer some more comfort (especially since my wife doesnt enjoy paddling). so kayak paddle in the canoo it is
@Belisarius277 actually, I'm thinking of using my kayak paddles on my next long trip to balance out my shoulder pressure. Good luck in Sweden
RE Belisarius277: Hi, they are more commonly used in the States. I think I will use it in open waters, where there is a long haul, or when there is an off centre head wind; where it might help keep a solo canoe to wind? You do get drips on your lap, and that day was very cold and wet in any case!! I think it will have it's uses, and I will hopefully be using it again with Andrew........
Hi Andrew, I like the video and hope to do your route when I am up in Norfolk at the end of June.
Good stuff. I hope the weather stays nice.
The company’s website doesn’t readily state the INSIDE dimensions. Is there enough sleeping space inside to accommodate a person who is 6’4” (193cm)?
Great comment. I'm 1.91 meters tall or about 6'3" and I found the hammock spacious. I hope this helps
I am 6'4" and 100kg.......yes there is space enough 🙂 Checkout OutdoorGearEssentials, thier prices can be very good.........
I'm 6'4"....and yes, see Andrews follow up video. The interior is 7' long.
As a person who loves check lists, thank you, for an informative video
Cheers.
This video has everything
Wow! Thanks. Appreciate it.
This content is first class, cannot wait to watch your past videos. Just found your channel. Just purchased my first Basha and not afraid to use it. DPM.
