This fortnight is the River Festival in York and Cancer Research UK are using the even to promote their 10km Runs at Harewood House and Castle Howard. I am volunteering when I can. Went along yesterday only to find that we couldn't reach all our promo stuff that was on the barge CRUK are using due to the river Ouse rising overnight following terrible rain on Friday.
Turned out that that wasn't so bad as my fellow volunteer had luckily taken some fliers home with him the day before. So we spent the day trying to enrol people with little success, however we also buddied up with some historical re-enactment types and had a fab time - thanks guys!
Biggest highlight was when they had to wade into the river the deliver some shopping to some folks that were trapped on their barge, the Sealed Knot types used their pikes to reach out, but one even took off his breeches only to reveal not exactly authentic boxers underneath! I have photographic evidence!!!
Went back today but it was a complete washout, literally, I've put some pics up to show where we were standing yesterday!
Lets hope it dries up for next weekend x
