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.

Hapy New Year Everybody!

This is a popular entrance to the gardens particularly for those makingtheir way from Marygate Car Park towards town using the gardens as a shortcut. The entrance is through an archway in what used to be the boundary walls of St Mary's Abbey.
