A midweek return visit

This is our third visit to this site, delayed because of Environment Agency works on flood monitoring which we heard about a couple of weeks before arrival. We organised an alternative night elsewhere and arrived lunchtime on the Monday. The wardens were brilliant in getting onsite immediately to avoid a long queue with all vans arriving at an empty site. Despite a flood threat with the possibly of having to evacuate we did not need to because river levels kept below the bank. This is an excellent site and access to the town is easy. It's a brisk 20 minute walk to the railway museum and about the same to the Minster so it is conveniently placed. Regretfully its popularity means that trying to book a whole week is virtually impossible. Midweek is the best bet. Also site costs are always high for us because we have a grown up (and ill) daughter who always comes with us. Rejigging the handbook to show pitch fee and one adult reflects the sensitivity of the Club towards the ever increasing prices. There are not many solo tourers so I think the handbook would be more realistic reverting back to pitch plus two adults and in many places pitch plus two adults and two children. And also the highes price you will pay not lowest. Now that would show up true costs espiecally now that pricing has been removed from the handbook for each pricing band. We shall try to come back for a week. Here's hoping!
