York City Rowing Club





I think it is admirable the way these youngsters get out on a cold morning take most of their clothes off and then row up and down the river in boats so flimsy that one man can lift them out of the water whilst being shouted at not to scrape the bottom of the boat as it is already very thin. Just by Lendal Bridge the rowing club is situated next to the river ouse where you often see rowers pulling up and down the river.

john, this picture reminds me of the rowing clubs by the bank of the yarra river in melbourne, australia.

I was out taking pics on the same day and saw these guys further up the river - they rowed past too fast for me to get my camera poised!
