The day started off with Acen and Autumn Years setting off back down the Ouse heading for the lock and on to Selby, so with a wave goodbye they passed under the bridge and slowley disapeared around the bend. We will hopefully meet up again somwhere around Lincoln in a couple of weeks (thats if they dont hide from us).
Not an hour later we heared a woman screaming across the other side of the river and when we looked we saw a pushchair in the river at the bottom of the steps, below the York Rowing club;

A BABY girl was saved from the River Ouse today after a Good Samaritan saw her pram roll into the river.
The fourth-month-old child was being pushed in her pram by her 31-year-old mother near Lendal Bridge in York (see map below) at 9.30am. The mum stopped to fasten the coat of her other child and the pram rolled into the river.
A cyclist, who rode from near the Aviva building, stopped and leapt into the river, pulling the pram and child to safety, but then rode off before the child’s mother could get his name. Two other men also helped.
One of them told The Press: "I heard a woman scream and I looked up and I saw a pushchair with a baby in it roll all the way down the steps from the top of the bridge and in to the river.
"I ran down to the riverside immediately and there was already a man in the river and another man on the bank trying to help.
"Together we lifted the pram out and a saw the face of the little baby girl submerged in water.

“She started crying and at that point my heart started beating so fast because then I knew she was all right.

"It was so scary – I was still shaking like a leaf hours later.”

Police want to trace the hero so the baby’s mum can personally thank him for saving her daughter’s life.

Apart from that bit of excitement we had a walk into town and had a nice Tapas for lunch.
Now the river levels are coming up again so we will have to post a watch on the ropes and fenders.
