This last weekend we tried to get to Pickering in North Yorkshire as they had a WWII day with people dressing up in uniforms and clothes from the 1940’s. The weekend event was well publicized on TV and, as a result, it proved impossible to park anywhere near the town. The closest park we could find was a field charging £5. We declined. A further disappointment was that the road to Whitby...
