Two dragon boats set off from Skipton this morning on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal on their way to Bingley.
40 rowers, and two drummers, are part way through an eight day journey from Liverpool to Leeds to raise money for the Bradford Lord Mayor's appeal, the children's ward at Bradford Royal Infirmary and the Merseyside and Cheshire Blood Bikers.
Tomorrow, they will take part in the Race the Dragon festival along with several other teams on the River Aire at Saltaire.
Rower, Dave Shipley, said they were amazed with the number of people who had gathered to meet them when they arrived in Skipton at the canal basin at just before 9pm on Thursday.
