A very pleasant little spot adjacent to the lock and the River Ouse ( in which we were told there are some mighty sized salmon ) which is unfortunately very prone to flood at the drop of a hat,hence the electrics are positioned well up a pole.
We managed to "have words" before we even left the storage site,surely some sort of record.
The facilities at Naburn are spotless,despite some peoples determination to thwart all the work of the cleaners to keep them so and the proprietors work had to run a tight site.
If we visited again I think we would ask for a pitch in the Adults Only section for obvious reasons.
I do think a charge of £2.50 for a visitor is a bit steep though.
The Orion wasn't totally perfect as when we put the water pump on it wouldn't switch off.
After a hearty lunch courtesy of SWMBO I traced the problem to a broken Whale pump fitting at the far end of the blue tubes.
As we always carry a spare pump disaster was averted ( let that be a lesson to you young caravanners,always carry a spare water pump ).
On the Friday it teemed it down so we went into York on the bus and I purchased another pump assembly from Go Outdoors.
There was only a few pounds difference between just buying the pump bit and the whole thing so the whole thing it was.
I bought the high flow version but was hard pressed to tell the difference in flow rates.
In my last post I mentioned the peeling of the laminate and queried perhaps water ingress.
Well after the very heavy rain all was as dry as a bone,will still have it checked at service though.
Just as an aside,why do I worry about towing,it could be a lot worse:-
