I had to drive up on Wednesday and drive back on Thursday. The drive there was smooth. The drive back had three five-mile queues that delayed me by an hour.
There was a games night on Wednesday evening that I wanted to attend, but I left early so I could park at the hotel. The hotel had no parking spaces, but would have charged me £10 per day or part thereof if it did (so £20 in total). Alternatively, I could have parked in a nearby school car park for a mere £0 for the first hour then £2.50 for every hour afterwards. I was going to be parked for 15 hours, so asked the hotel if there was anywhere else I could park. It turned out that the street parking outside the hotel was free 6pm to 8am and for an hour outside those times, so that's where I parked. Parking in York is normally awful, so I don't quite know what happened there.
The conference itself was excellent, as usual. I had a number of interesting conversations, and would have had more if I hadn't had to leave early to get back in time to collect my wife from the train statuon this evening.
Here's a photo of an IGGI signpost along with three rabbits that disappeared into the grass between the moment I pressed the shutter button and the moment the camera saved the image.
Maybe next time, put the arrow the other side of the bin. It won't look like a commentary on the state of IGGI that way.
