York Merchant Adventurers
Had a quick trip to York and bought myself the Settlers of Catan boardgame from the Travelling Man shop in the Shambles and managed to get one good photo of the Guildhall of the Merchant Adventurers before the bus came to take us to the Park & Ride:
Though York can be very busy (90 minutes queue for Yorvik for example) it is well worth a visit - make sure you take the Park & Ride though as parking is just not possible inside the walls and the bus trip keeps the costs down by limiting the shopping you carry around.

York is great. Shame about the tourists getting in your way though! ;-) I love the Merchant Adventurer's hall and have fond memories of when Vapnartak was held there, although I think the racecourse is a better venue in terms of lighting and space. For Jorvik, you can jump the queue by pre-booking before you go, which is well worthwhile.
The visit was a spare of the moment thing and wish we had booked as they have just opened the new trip / gallery and would have liked to see it. Not to worry - just gives us another excuse to go to York.
