This is one of the posts used for racing. They should be white and were only
a couple of years ago. All are now blue with yellow bands or a yellow
top.
The bridge supports, looking south. You can see several generations of
graffiti here. Wolfson in the foreground.
... and here's Girton Men's and Women's first boat crews
view from the other side.
Even the ceiling has graffiti on it!
And on the southern face of the bridge we have this. Last year it was maroon,
this year it's blue. Notice even more graffiti on the other bank.
Continuing south we reach the tin hut. This belongs to the university. When
this came before Milton PC for planning permission we were worried about the
erection of a building in the Green Belt and one thing that persuaded us was
that the university agreed to paint it green ...
This is one of the sadder examples. This is a log which the conservators carved
into a bench. It was a lovely thing to sit on. It's no longer a nice natural
wood - it's now blue with yellow strips just like everything else.
All the signs have had the blue and yellow treatment too. Here's just one
example of many.
All along the river willow trees have been daubed with paint. Here's one in
particular right in front of the first house you come to as you walk south.
A more formal bench, once black I suspect, now blue (they must have run out
of yellow paint!). This is just one of several in this state.
