A peaceful trip along the Leeds Liverpool Canal is set to be transformed into an unique film focusing on the historic waterway's restorative powers.

Supporters of the Super Slow Way initiative have teamed up with artist Adam Chodzko for the project, which sees him paddle one passenger at a time along the canal in Clayton-le-Moors in a kayak.

The 'Ghost' craft is a specially-built wooden kayak which has already seen service on rivers like the Thames, Medway, Tyne and Tamar up and down the country.

Each passenger is filmed during the 'meditative' experience and the resulting footage will then be compiled into a short film, which will receive its premiere in Hyndburn this autumn.

A Super Slow Way spokesman said: "Ghost is a multi-sensory experience, giving the feeling of being suspended in a shell floating in water, as paddler and passenger experience the journey in silence.

"A camera mounted on Ghost‘s deck records each unique voyage from the passengers’ point of view, to create a dream-like film which will be available online and at an event in Hyndburn in the autumn.

"As well as a passenger from the local community, Ghost also carries a cargo of shuttles from local mills, in homage to the canal’s original purpose of ferrying raw cotton and finished fabric in its heyday.

"Ghost’s shape echoes that of the wooden shuttle and recreates its journey back and forth across the loom, weaving a digital trace on film."

Adam first unveiled Ghost for the Whitstable Biennale in 2010, and since then the kayak has taken hundreds of passengers down the years on similar journeys.

And the East Lancashire outings have proved a sell-out success - the first run from August 6 to 11 was fully booked, as is another run from August 30 to September 4.
