I can now understand why I could never get booked onto this site. It is ideally located for walking into York city centre, and we'll be back. It is on one hand the busiest site I've seen and the quietest. It's both full and everyone is out for the day/evening. I'd been warned that the reception was 'on stilts' but it's strange to finally see it. I do not envy the job of the wardens, I consciously slowed right down from about 40 miles away to try and make sure I didn't get there before 1200 but was still 15 minutes early - and 4th in the queue to get in. The humour, tact and enthusiasm of the wardens was wonderful to behold. Some noise from local roads, but I can't really comment on family as this didn't apply.
