Birmingham Mini Ring DVDs

Popular DVD

The DVD follows a cruise clockwise around the ring from Kings Norton Junction.

First along the Worcester and Birmingham Canal following a lovely green corridor through the suburbs of Birmingham to reach Gas Street Basin where Worcester Bar once divided the basin and separate the canals.

A short stretch of the Birmingham Canal Navigations (BCN) takes us to Old Turn Junction and the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal with the 13 Farmers Bridge locks.

The Digbeth Branch takes us to the Grand Union and the narrow Camp Hill Locks to raise use to the summit pound.  The five broad locks at Knowle are the only broad ones on the ring.

The Lapworth Link leads to the Stratford upon Avon Canal where we climb the narrow Lapworth Locks back to our starting level.

Three lifting bridges add to the entertainment as we cruise back to Kings Norton Junction.

The Popular format DVD runs for 30 minutes.
It's available on its own or in a combined 2 DVD set with the Bowcam DVD described below.

Bowcam DVD

For a little fun we fitted a forward facing camera to our boat and, with a little editing, this shows a high speed journey around the ring.

You can see the forward facing view of the whole ring and not just the highlights shown in our Popular DVD. 

We've added the mileage in the top corner of the screen, based on those in the Nicholson's Canal Guides, and location information along the bottom so you always know where you are.

You can sit back and watch the scenery and the clouds scudding past, or watch the crew dashing forwards to operate the locks.

The commentary explains more about the canals and their background to complement the Popular format DVD. 

The complete journey takes 30 minutes.  The Bowcam format DVD is available on its own or in a combined 2 DVD set with the Popular DVD described above.

Combined (Popular & Bowcam) DVDs

Your opportunity to save a little money.

Many customers ask for both the Popular and Bowcam DVDs so we've put them both together in one box.  This includes both the fold-out map and the information book which come with the Popular edition.

Not only are they cheaper by buying them in one box, but it counts as one item so you save a second postage charge too.

DVD Information

The DVD is in DVD-R format, recorded in PAL for use in the UK and some other countries.

Available in Popular or Bowcam formats, or Combined in one box.

The Popular format is a cross between a documentary and a holiday programme and is supplied with a fold-out map (37 x 24 cm - 14 x 9 inches) and an information booklet giving further background material.

For at little fun, the Bowcam version is a speeded up film from a forward facing camera with captions added to show the location.

The Combined version includes both DVDs in a single box.  Save at least £1.75 buying the 2 DVD set with both together in one box at £14.90 (that's saving £1.00 on the DVDs and £0.75 on the UK postage - and even more on postage abroad).
