Due to a very late change of plans we now find ourselves with a free bank holiday weekend ahead. We are struggling to find a site (any site, doesn't have to be a CC site) within about 2 hours travel time of Huddersfield (80 miles +/-) with EHU pitches, on site shower/toilet block, takes dogs AND will allow late departure on Monday (5/6pm would be ok). We cannot travel until Saturday morning (I dont get home from work until gone 6.00pm) so will be arriving lunchtime-ish and would like to use the bank holiday Monday as a holiday, not simply packing up and travelling home again. Any suggestions? I have noted the C & CC have availability at Scarborough but given the A64 is usually a long traffic snake, there is also the tour de Yorkshire cycle race so I suspect it will take rather more than 2 hours to get there  or return. Any suggestions? (York is too near, my stepson lives there and given it is only a 45 min drive sans 'van we are often in that city either with family or me with my work).
