Bingley has five zones, including one iconic location at the 5-rise locks, but they are disconnected from the many zones in Bradford, so are rarely visited. Might zones be created along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, such as "Hirst Lock", "Seven Arches Aqueduct", "The Fisherman's (pub)" and the Pipe Bridge" to link Bingley with Saltaire.
A shorter, but less appealing link would be via Shipley Glen.
Both would create a logical loop

Re: Linking Bingley
Hi,
I made 3 suggestions a couple of days ago on the Turf app but, since getting back from holiday, I've realised that the section of canal/river is closed for winter maintenance until at least the new year. The zone suggestions were at the Fishermans & Seven Arches Aqueduct (both on the Leeds Liverpool Canal between Bingley and Saltaire) and at Hirst Weir on the river Aire near Saltaire. They're all lovely spots for zones though, just pointless at the moment.
