Totally uneventful, 85 miles, light traffic, no hold-ups.
Dry and sunny, but quite cold, 6C.
York, Rowntree Park CAMC Site is very near York City Centre. Access inevitably means encountering some traffic, and, there are low bridges. Our Garmin Sat-Nav worked out a route avoiding low bridge etc, but worth reading, and taking heed of, the route advice on the CAMC website.
A short "walk about", along the banks of the River Ouse, a little ominously, the river had overflowed its banks in many places. The footpath / cycle track was flooded, in several places, and, we had to detour around

5c and, what my phone describes as "moderate rain", more like pouring down in my opinion.
Well, it rained, and it rained, and, guess what?
At 15:00, one of the site wardens arrived to tell us they were evacuating the site, because the Environment Agency had warned that flooding was "imminent".
We were given the option to move to the CAMC site at Beechwood, York, but, decided to take our refund and go home.
So, a bit of a waste of time, really.
