Finding the CRT services in York

Wed 16 June York CRT Elsan hunt

Water point is on lower quay to the left by two white marks. The higher quay with wooden timbers is the Trip Boat mooring

A Trip Boat: First trip is about 10.30AM. We put Annie's bow close to the ramp by the notice, to use the water point.

Moving to the low quay just north of the trip boat landing and Lendal Bridge, the black water point is well back, under the hotel terrace.

The black water point is under the Lion pub balcony

To find the CRT Elsan and wc facilities, go behind the hotel, either through the museum gardens and turn right, or next to the bridge and turn left through a Roman arch!

Walk up the steps into the park (gates locked by 5PM)

Walk up here,  turn right and walk into the Lion pub  back yard



The Lion pub back yard, by the kitchen door! That black door between the two green wooden vegetable stores hides the CRT loos and Elsan facility

In the hotel's back yard, is the kitchen entrance, with wooden outside cupboards for vegetables. Hiding behind one of these, next to the kitchen door, is a doorway marked Toilet: This is it! There are two disabled loos and the Elsan at the end of a narrow corridor. The rubbish bin next to the Elsan room may or may not be CRTs. I hope the pictures help!

You can walk towards the Lendal Bridge, then turn left after the tower, up the footpath ten metres, and turn left through the old arch

Liana pointing the way: Through the arch, turn left. The door has a Toilet sign above it

This really is it!

Thanks to Steve and Mary on Marge for taking John to show him, after we had been there twice, asked cooks etc, and no one knew. Maybe CRT can erect a notice to help boaters find it, as well as the other signs already there for other purposes.
Today is a day to enjoy York.

After sorting out Elsan and water, John moved Annie back to her mooring, avoiding the trip boats and myriads of scullers from the club opposite. We chatted to Steve on Marge, and he recommended Nun Monkton village and pub, plus Newton-on-Ouse tomorrow: We shall see! John still has not sorted out a proboe my with a task bar which hides the commands on our blog, so he is using my iPad, without pictures, at the moment :(.
