Knaresborough Bed Race

Today things were rather busy in Knaresborough for the annual bed race.
The weather was perfect for this annual crazy event. Today's blip shows the winner of the best dressed "bed" - the Jurassic Park Monster.
All of the "beds" assemble in the castle grounds in the morning where they are judged. Around 1p.m. the procession started down the main street and down to the river. The "beds" are stripped of some of their adornments for the race which follows a course around the town, and then right across (!) the river. One member of the team has to travel in their contraption. There was certainly plenty to point the camera at.
