Funny you should mention that... you know "Bus Stop" has its parking legislation going through now so they can add double yellows, no overnight etc etcDown and beyond said:I suspect dinorwig will be just as bad !
Cantclimbtom said:This has been expected for a while and some chatter on UKC (that's UK Climbing not UK Caving ) website/forums. Points raised the is park and ride is poor especially if you want to use it outside main service hours, there is a failed industrial area at Glyn Rhonwy that could be used for parking and additional parking to park and ride. Also the cost of parking for a full day in the new scheme might be comparable to the fine for parking on the road if you pay it promptly, so a lot of work is still needed to sort out the parking mess that is Pen y pass. I expect Ogwen next...
I maintain this is why we were given Cnicht, Rhinogs, Nantlle Ridge and all the other lovely areas that barely get visited.
Llanigraham said:Not if they tow the cars away, which has been threatened in some cases, as you then get the towing charge and a storage charge added on, plus you have to get to the storage area.
Cap'n Chris said:During warm(er) weather towing a car away wouldn't be a major issue but if it was done during winter (or cold snap) conditions it could be life threatening for someone anticipating returning to their car only to find it's missing and they are stuck in the middle of nowhere with nothing in which to shelter or rewarm themselves. Would expect such a practice to therefore be unwise in the extreme and potentially sue-worthy.
The same reason why half of the general public walk around there local high street in top end outdoor gear and have never set food on a mountainRobinGriffiths said:I'm always suprised why there's always so many people in Betws y Coed. People appear to visit it for it's own sake rather than as a mountain walk start point.
