| For the love of Narrowboats posted Bingley five Rise locks The steepest staircase locks on the 127 mile long Leeds & Liverpool canal. Opened in 1774....when apparently a crowd of 30,000 people attended to celebrate! Ann Carter: Loved doing the Bingley five rise but what I found more arduous was locking up Tardebigge 30 of them in 3.6km. Did them numerous times and have the plaque as a momento!! Judith Cooke-Sanderson: Ann Carter Started our honeymoon on Tardebigge! Guess who did the locks! Tricia Brookes: I am NOT a waterbaby but these boats were the love of my life. And operating the locks the best workout ever. No gym required.. |

The lift is high enough that the sill becomes exposed.

Boats have to be careful to clear the sill when they go down.

| For the love of Narrowboats posted Just a reminder.... As beautiful as the canal network is it can also be a dangerous place..... Watch those cills! Tony Green: We saw someone tie up tight at the top of a lock - wasn’t pretty when the water went out. |
