Learning New Narrowboat Skills - RYA Helmsman Training

With our new narrowboat, Silver Fox, taking shape over in Liverpool, we took a two-day RYA Helmsman course at bearBOATING in Apperley, near Bradford, to brush up on our narrowboat handling skills. We were lucky to get it done because stretches of the canal from the Bingley Five Rise all the way down through to Leeds were closed shortly after due to the water shortage on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal.
