Someone I know works at the school and asked me to spread the message...

(The school is probably 10 minutes max. walk from the finish line on The Stray).

"Please book quickly as we anticipate a sell-out event!"

I wonder how many places such as this and campsites along the route will 'actually sell' out at 100/200 a pop? Does anyone know a person with a field who is fully booked or indeed anywhere near the level they were anticipating?

No idea, but this is in the town centre and a hard-standing so it is infinitely better than a (potentially) muddy farmer's field and then finding it difficult getting into town because of the road closures....

I heard there was unlimited free parking for motorhomes and camper vans at Petty Whin Close in Harrogate.

We've got a field setout for camping off the Farm, however we are at the top of the hill near Harlow Carr..
We advertised 100 spaces and have got 78 booked so far, loos and shower cubicles, leccie hookups and stuff. First time into this kinda thing and think it'll be the last, it's been a PITA to organise but easy to advertise and get responces.

All in all I'd say the effort is only just about worth it... 😕
