Army Climbing Wall in Parliament Street

The army recruiting team were in York for the recent residents' festival, with a climbing wall that moved on a conveyor belt sort of set up - so you could climb and climb but never get to the top. It could be tilted forwards and backwards to vary the gradient too.


LJ had a go, but don't worry, I'm not letting him join up. He'd hate the haircut, anyway :-D

Hilda, no fear, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have got very far!!

Freda, you certainly are a Yorkie! Ruby Senior has only lived in York for about 12 years. She decided she liked York when I was at university here, and moved over not long afterwards. In 1947 she was in Leeds so didn't experience the floods, just walking to school with walls of snow on each side! Were there bad floods in '47?
