    Well, that old Land Rover has ONE good thing going for it. It is a remarkable aid in helping the owners to be Rover mechanics. 😄 Heh, heh…. DAMN, how can somebody own such a giant body of water? LOVE that Firebox Stove. Simon, I bet family loves when you practice cooking at home…sooo good! Or, is the campfire the only time you get to eat meat…heh, heh…😊? Sitting in the cold rain, a long way from the car and comfort of home, making a video for us…man-o-man, Simon !!! Do you ever wonder why you have so many RUclips followers? I don’t. I hope you celebrate a wonderful birthday. 🎁🎊🎉 Thanks from an old retired vet, in the hills of east Tennessee.

    @lauriebloggs8391 5 лет назад

    Hi, Just been watching this again.... you are certainly nowhere near as precious with that beautiful boat as I am with my lesser boat!!
    Anyway, am now able to look at that area anew having paddled around there in my wood canoe and camping, this summer. You are so right that Salhouse is rammed in the summer, and with the cash grabbing miseries by the pontoon...I decided to give it a miss. You inspire me to try some solo winter paddling there, or anywhere!
    Despite all... the Broads, for those that don't know them are wonderful to visit by canoe...at any time

    I felt the scratches as you tried to get the canoe over the weeds.....I love that boat..!😁

    I don't know if it was mentioned by anyone but if you have a decent dry bag you can use that filled with water for ballast when windy. The bonus is you can empty it when you need to portage and refill on the other side. 😊 Cheers
