hi having read the comments it seems as if most of the posters are either 1) too thick to know the difference between a caravan and a motorhome or 2) Are just on a wind-up and probably live miles away and have never been anywhere near the show.
There was talk a couple of years ago that York was 'unsuitable' and proposals for a move to Harrogate Showground, I wonder will it ever be the Knavesmire again, I somehow doubt it.

The rumour last year was that it was going to be the last at York, so I was surprised to see it listed at York this year. Just checked the website and there is no news.
Bit inconvenient, but hopefully Pickering will not be the quagmire that York can be.

I echo some of the feedback on the papers site.
Pickering grinds to a halt at summer weekends anyway. Add thousands of vans and it's a recipe for disaster.
For a successful event like that you've got to have nearby dual carriagways and no junctions to ease the strain. York was always bad for day visitors (we queued for nearly an hour to get in last year) but I'm certain Pickering will be much, much worse.
It really should've gone to the Great Yorkshire Showground instead as there's much better access from Harrogate Bypass.

I Passed pickering showground at easter when a caravan club rally was present which appeared to fill the ground , so how will it manage with a show as big as york is. if york is out of the running surely elvington ( next to A64 dual carriageway) would be better and still close to york for buses to run. Pickering is too far from york for buses approx 15 miles away.

Lucy 2 is our motorhome, Lucy 1 was a 45ft Narrowboat sold for Lucy 2. Lucy was a German Shepherd female the love of my life ( after the wife of course)
I agree with Steamdrivenandy and Lucy2 - Pickering will be a nightmare to get in and out of, and I can't see how the ground can accommodate the amount of motorhomes expected, and there is every chance of a quagmire if it rains.
Not many pubs in Pickering - or restaurants either. They will soon get packed.
I only live 20 miles away from York. Think I'll drive to Whitby instead - if I can find a way round the traffic!
