The DVD follows a cruise around the ring from Braunston Turn.
A short, lock-free section takes us from Braunston Turn to Napton Junction where we turn right onto the Grand Union Canal.
We descend through 23 broad locks to the lowest pound of our journey through Leamington Spa and Warwick before climbing through two more to reach the Saltisford Arm. Our climb continues with the mighty Hatton Flight and the Knowle Locks to reach the highest pound of our journey.
We pass around the centre of Birmingham and along the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal to Fazeley Junction with the Coventry Canal which we follow all the way into Coventry.
The Oxford Canal, with the paired locks at Hillmorton, completes our circuit of the Warwickshire Ring.
The Popular format DVD runs for 60 minutes. It's available on its own or in a combined 2 DVD set with the Bowcam DVD described below.
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 the markers 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 62 minutes. The Bowcam format DVD is available on its own or in a combined 2 DVD set with the Popular DVD described above.
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.
The DVD is in DVD-R format, recorded in PAL for use in the UK and some other countries. The commentary is in English.
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 (24 x 18 cm - 9 x 7 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 £19.90 (that's saving £1.00 on the DVDs and £0.75 on the UK postage - and even more on postage abroad).
