York - Site Analysis (in pictures)

Yesterday and the day before that, I had the joy of freezing both my beloved (coco)nuts off. Along with this unnerving pleasure I traveled to York, the first day in my car and the second day in a monster truck - well, a Toyota Land Cruiser - to do a site analysis of an extensive area of York. The focus of this site analysis is the River Foss which stems off from the River Ouse at the south of York and mianders northward where it finally ceases to be a river (according to google maps) at Strensall - just 10km from the centre of York.

From a tutorial today my group has decided to perform a very thorough site analysis where each of us take a few topics and rigeriously search information, draw maps, diagrams, sketches, lemonparty, and finally produce a document consisting of all our efforts. This large task should effectively be our site analysis of the whole of the site - and once we decide upon an area/site to design a building on we shall then carry out a further site analysis of that locale.

I've still do to my part of the analysis but here are a some photos from the day/s.
