Bingley Five Rise

Maggie went to college in Bingley so we are very familiar with the Five Rise locks. It appears that this year they are having a major makeover with new gates. The BBC film below describes what's happening and includes a few minor gaffs - who ever said talking to camera was easy?



It appears that around 7,000 people visited the locks when they were drained and BW opened them to the public; what a good idea.

We have yet to boat through Bingley on Albert. Maybe this is the year?
