If this works, there should be a timelapse video of our approaching Middlewich from the south on the Trent and Mersey. This would have been on 9th April 2009.
Well, it seems to work on the preview, so I'll publish it. I'm a bit concerned about how much of my Blogger data allowance it uses - this was about 0.5MB - so it might be better to upload to YouTube first and then link to that. I haven't uploaded to YouTube before, either.

That was amazing Halfie! But really fast too. I think on balance I would prefer seeing the video at the normal speed. I liked the bit where you go through the lock. I wish this was as fast in normal life. I didn't know blogger had a data allowance, though. YouTube is exceptionally easy, and I use it for my videos. I've also got a little video bar in the side bar of my blog, which displays four vids at a time, and when you click on them you get a small version of the youtube film. It works very well, and is one of the gadgets you can add to your blog in the customize option.
Thanks - I'm pleased with myself for managing to upload the video; the video side bar thing you mention will have to wait!
The whole idea is that it's timelapse filming. We'd be here for ever if I tried to show a canal cruise in real time!
There'll be another one tomorrow, and it's better than today's.
Halfie, this isn't working on the iPhone, preumbly bcause of its inability to support flash. Best thing anyway is to embed as a YouTube. Looking forward to seeing your video skills brough to bear on this!

You are right of course, Halfie. Totally impractical and impossible to run it at normal speed, so this is a great alternative.
What a great idea! I look forward to the next one.
Andrew, sorry you can't see this video on your iPhone (which also seems to have a problem with missing letters!) - but I've now signed up to YouTube. The next video should be on my blog now. Not much in the way of video skills here: I used a dedicated timelapse camera, the results of which I'm uploading without editing. I'll blog about the camera in a later post.
Alan, the next one should be there now, and in better quality.
