We have just returned from our first trip to York where we stayed at the Club's Rowntree site. We followed the Club's directions from Birmingham rather than using sat nav as we were aware that York had a number of low bridges. The directions went like this.....'Turn
right onto Nunnery lane', Slight left onto Prices Lane, Continue to follow A1036 (Bishopsgate Street), Turn left onto Skeldergate and Sharp right inot Terry Avenue'......AND SLAP BANG INTO SKELDERGATE BRIDGE!  At 8' 6" we opted not to take the 'van under it! 
Thankfully two very kind locals helped us to reverse out onto the main road (Skeldergate) and re-routed us correctly. The route should be

From Prices Lane turn RIGHT into Bishopthorpe Road, first left into Clementhorpe (the correct side of the bridge) and right into Terry Avenue. Black mark Caravan Club. Has anyone else suffered the same?

ps YORK is a vibrant and beautiful city, so if you haven't been, just go!
