QUICK TOUR QUICK TOUR Nordelph on video
This page gives you access to a number of short videos that show you what Nordelph looks like. To make sense of the choices, you will need to refer to this index map:
Each of our videos is available as a Windows Media Player file or a Quicktime file. To play a video, either (left) click on the link and the video will start to play over the Internet; there may be a slight delay while the start of the video downloads before playback begins. Although there may be temporary files left on your computer (see below for how to remove them) you will not have a permanent copy of the video. If you want to keep your own copy, right click on the link and select 'Save link as ...' The download may take some while and you are definitely advised not to access these videos unless you have a broadband Internet connection.
Car Journeys
The car trips were prepared without sound, as a way of reducing the file sizes.
Car Journey 1 takes you from A to B on the map and lasts 1m 29s;
Car Journey 2 (from D to C) 2m 58s
Car Journey 3 (from B to D) 2m 47s
Car Journey 4 (from C until the video begins to repeat route 3) 51s
Boat Journeys along Well Creek
These videos are speeded up; they are also widescreen. For reasons that we don't understand at all, the Quicktime versions play back in a standarda 4:3 window! Because our experience with the car journeys is that they sound rather sterile without sound, we have experimentally added a speeded-up soundtrack to these.
Boat Journey 1 (from F to A) 1m 44s
Boat Journey 2 (from A to E) 4m 11s
Boat Journey 3 (from E to F) 2m 16s
Video directions
You can now download our 'video directions'. We've recorded the drive from the A1 at Huntingdon to Nordelph, via Chatteris and the 16-foot drain. We've speeded it up (it lasts 4'30") and added useful captions. Quality isn't good -- we've compressed it as much as possible -- but you may find it useful: and certainly fun, flying through the Fens at speeds up to 700 mph! But be warned -- this was recorded in 2005, and we're amazed at how much has changed: at least one new roundabout, and a new 'Welcome to Norfolk' sign.
