13 April 2026 York

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.

The solar greenway start

Another NASSA probe that landed on the cycle way.

You can pick up some fab information on the cycle path.

This town has a lot of crime and there is always a police van parked in town EVERY time I come here. Even the posts are dangerous.

Old police station with a Weights and measures office next door a first!

Love the name on this ally wonder how it got it?

The Dun Cow is a prominent figure in British folklore, representing a, mythical,, giant,, cream-colored beast that provided endless milk. Legend states it was driven mad by a witch’s greed, rampaging through Warwickshire before being slain by Guy of Warwick. It is also linked to the founding of Durham and early Irish literature
