Hi all. Just to let every one no two of my friends parked there on Saturday morning and the owner the house ran out and started being very aggressive. He was on about two climbers who had parked there all day on Friday went two the pub came back after dark and had a piss there. My friend thought that he was going to headbutt him at one point.Probably best to keep away at the moment.If any one could let me no who the BMC area rep is so I can get hold of him would be good.All the best Chris
I had a chat with the householder last weekend. He was exasperated but quite reasonable - he has no problem with day parking, he just wants people not to park after dark and not to "take the piss" - no camping / toilet activities etc. I offered to not park there again and to put word out that others doing likewise would be appreciated and he said no. As he saw it, the cove car-park is not his property and he doesn't have the right to stop people using it. However, he is the keyholder for the access gate and has a responsibility to keep it locked overnight. As such, he wants to be able to lock the gate in the evening and not be disturbed at night by campers trying to get out and / or "playing music and taking drugs" near his house.
I have spoken to the guy before and he does seem pretty reasonable. I know it's been brought up before but i feel a small sign put up in the back left of the car park stating the above (no staying after dark, no pissing in the bushes etc) would help get the message across. After all, not everyone reads UKB and i have not seen a mention of this anywhere else.

I nearly posted the same thing yesterday, then thought someone must surely have explored this option...It would seem not.
