As others, parked at the No parking sign and a short walk to topDaveGraham 15/03/2024
Gate was open to assist bag.lordtonult29/07/2023
Just about got the car off the road at a field gate to the E - the one with the 'No Parking in Front of These Gates' sign... it was only a 2 minute job to bag the top from there. As it happens the farmer came along and stopped for a chat, he was fine. Told me I needed to bag Carmichael Hill if I hadn't done it... I hadn't and I did it next!jonglew13/02/2023
