Walk into town first thing for some shopping before it gets busy.
Then back to the site for the bike and a cycle along the Solar green way to Naburn Lock passing Rowntree’s now Terry’s
The sculpture on this bridge is FAB its a fisherman that has caught a train and his dog has it’s back leg up having a pee on his bike. Looks like the trend is passing on to humans in York.
