In part three of our Spring Break vlogs we start our journey at Saltaire and after travelling up the famous Five Rise Locks at Bingley (and show you some amazing drone footage of them), finally reach our destination of Silsden.

Great video - I now live in Darwin Australia but I used to regularly ride from Bradford north to Silsden or south to Leeds on the cycle track next to the canal. Shifted from Bradford to Darwin in May of this year. The countryside from Bradford to Silsden, particularly after the Bingley 5 Rise was chocolate box beautiful! I can advise from 8:38 where you went under the bridge that the "track" has been replaced by a proper riding and walking path to Silsden where it reverts back to just being a track:)
Love your videos. Think the interior of your boat is fab! You and Life in a Nutshell are my fave narrow boat vloggers. Enjoy the journey.
Thanks so much Christine, so glad you like it and that you are enjoying the vlogs :-)
Awesome thanks for sharing brings back memory’s of my childhood walking along the canal paths with my dad in the early 60s
Love your videos and music keep them coming you too
Thamk you!
stunning views.
Fantastic drone footage. Thanks for sharing. Cheers M&W
Thank you!
Tony sure needed those beers after watching the rest of the team open them thar lock gates :o), lovely video, like the music and the drone gives the canal perspective.Thanks for all your hard work in bringing these videos to us all. Cheers.
Thirsty work standing on the back of a narrowboat ;-) Thank you so much for your comment we really appreciate it.
Love your vlogs, keep them coming please x Happy boating
Thanks Lynne, much appreciated :-)
Great video. We've just returned from our holiday on the Leeds and Liverpool canal and we made it to Saltaire as planned. Unfortunately the wait to get on the 5 rise and the time it then took to go through the locks meant we didn't have time to get off! So today when we returned the boat and drove to Saltaire. Salt Mill was great, fantastic shopping, thanks!!
Hi Sylvia, thanks. Glad that you enjoyed your trip and managed to get back to Saltaire,. Did you enjoy the 5 rise despite having to wait?
Very awesome aerial footage of the Bingly five rise, man I wish I had the Money, the Wife and I would move back there in a Flash, and live on a Narrow Boat for sure , Happy and Safe Traveling :-) ✌️
Hi there George! Thanks so much, who knows what the future might bring... ;-)
I've been to Bingley 5&3, but not in a boat, only on foot :( Hopefully we'll get up to the North in the next couple of years and do the L&L :) Thanks for another great vlog :)
Cheers Ronnie, we would definitely recommend it if you get the chance.
So you ate all the curry then, oh well, 🤒. phill ex, nb Helen would have loved that too, "hi Phill"
In our defense, It had been a hard day and we were very hungry :-)
It's A Narrowboat Thing l agree that number of locks is very tiring and we would not be wishing to prepare our own either, well done
Love the drone footage of the Bingly five rise. It looks so different from the air. Keep the videos coming. Cheers
Hi Barry, gives a completely different perspective of them doesn't it? Glad that you enjoyed it!
wou hepy hepy
I've seen the the Bingley 5 + 3 from many different views, but your aerial shots would be the best I've seen. Keep up the great work - all the way to Liverpool?
Thank you so much, unfortunately only to Skipton this time as work beckons us to return to our home mooring.
Ah - work, the bane of the cruising man (and woman)!
I watched it twice before commenting because of all the great shots I had to see again! Love this video! The plaque says it's the steepest set of locks in Britain and I can believe it with that first shot of the 5 locks. That hill is Massive!
I love the drone footage too to get a great view of the surrounding area and how the canal and a highway cuts through a village with it's nice houses and fields.
One question from watching those leaky gates, do you get a lot of water in the bow of the boat you have to take care of? or are there holes for it to drain out?
Thanks again for the great video, till next time!
Hi there, thanks for stopping by! For the first few days all we seemed to do is climb higher and higher, at least once we'd got to the top of the 5 rise we were at the top and there were no more locks!
The drone footage is great for seeing what lies beyond the canal and how they fit into the surrounding countryside, hopefully in the future we'll be able to share more footage.
And yes, the boat gets a soaking with the leaky gates. Thankfully there are drainage holes but you do have to remember to keep the front doors closed ;-)
Glad you enjoyed the video and as ever thank you for your comment!
I live in Bingley. Both locks having repairs January to March for leaks 👍🏻
Just found your channel. Great videos too BTW. You heading for Skipton for the canal festival?
Hi there, thanks for stopping by! Unfortunately, we couldn't hang around at Skipton that long as we had to return back to work :-(
We missed our connecting train too from Newcastle upon Tyne...! Had to wait for the next one...!
properties that abut the canals must command high prices , anywhere in the world ,properties with water views are expensive .
We passed some lovely properties with beautiful gardens, some with their own moorings too!
