Finally we head to Liverpool to start the Leeds to Liverpool Canal , 127 miles over 3 days in testing conditions to say the least.
Day one we set off from Liverpool around 11 am and finding a camp spot just after Appley Bridge.
I will be doing it as 3 episodes, as this is much easier to edit. I have so much footage to sift and sort !! But hoping to have next episode out later next week.

A grand start to the trip (apart from dropping the waterproofs) and the big plus so far is the weather, mind nobody likes a headwind. Thats a great wee spot for the first night. 40 miles is good considering you had a few beers on the way, do I see a theme starting here 😅🍺. ATB Big Dave Scotland
My kind of trip, stopping at every pub LOL!
From here it looked like you got rather close to that canal one point,my wife was quite concerned for you I knew you would be ok .Your always loosing things I think it was your phone last time.
i note the sound clip of "leaning on the everlasting arms". and i'm old enough to remember the sons of the pioneers take.
Great video of the 1st day mate, thanks for filming it and putting it together, lots of unseen work, really nice to look back on⛺️🚲👍🏻
weather good ☀️ plenty refreshment stops 🍺then you loose your good overpants so annoying dave 🚴👍
Can't complain. Drunkards.
I hope ur still on this ride im 2mins from the canal in Worsley
What is that rear bag at 1.37 brand model cheers
Nice one Dave , shame about the paclites , I’m concerned you weren’t hydrating properly – only 3 pints ? Regards Mick
What was the barge doing at 03.50?
You really can't beat a pub crawl with a bit of cycling thrown in! Being half cut, up the cut is definitely my style. Thanks for taking us along.
I really detest those grey gate things. I lived close to the canal for years – it's not that far now really. I've done that ride a few times now on different bikes over the years. I've used The Navigator in Blackburn as a pit stop a few times, inn on the Wharf Burnley, The Black Swan in Hebden Bridge. Last outing that way was 2022.
