Try Tatton, Styal, Alderley Edge and Dunham Massey too. I think there are very real issues with how the Trust treats its tenants and not everything is done perfectly but when you consider the extent of what they look after and what the situation might be if those lands and estates (e.g. The Lake District) were in private hands it's difficult to see the sense in being strongly anti.

For those wanting a NT parking permit rather than supporting the Nt (not me btw) then the cheaper option is to joint NT Scotland (cheaper) or NT New Zealand (much cheaper) and the access abilities/parking are largely transferable. As I understand it...

"Your Heritage New Zealand membership card is not a parking permit and does not entitle you to free or reduced cost parking at historic places cared for by these heritage organisations."

[tomtom]

You checked then?

twice

"This applies only to normal property admission and does not include parking or the use of other amenities where charges may apply."

Tight arse

I heard they're not valid at Easter any more either.

[tomtom]

That's eggasparating... makes me quite cross.

What if you want to park at the plantation to go and do Calvary?

[tomtom]

Or if you have something wrong with your car and have to open the bonnet?

[dave]

Be a bit embarrassing if the car didn't belong to you, i.e. if it had been lent.

[tomtom]

I'd be crucified with shame...

[SA Chris]

You guys are nailing these jokes.

[tomtom]

It's always worth resurrecting the old gags..

I love puns with a Passion.

does thirty pieces of silver get me parking at Stanage for the whole of the 4 day bank holiday weekend?

some thorny issues being raised here

[dave]

does thirty pieces of silver get me parking at Stanage for the whole of the 4 day bank holiday weekend?

Should cover it, but just check the parking charge hasn't risen on the third day.

eggcellent work Dave

Easter winner of this one.

On the original subject, it sounds like the enforcement will be done by wardens with tickets rather than numberplate-recognition cameras. Despite the posted start date of April 1st arrangements are not yet in place for this.

All existing Stanage stickers expired on the 31st March.

Covers Millers Dale so the annual pass makes sense for regular Chee Dale users

Plantation isn't in the list. Or is it referred to as 'Hooks Carr' which i've never heard of?

[lagerstarfish]

Hollin Bank

Or is it referred to as 'Hooks Carr' which i've never heard of?

Hook's Carr is the Popular End parking, Hollin Bank is the Plantation & Dennis Knoll is High Neb.

Did anyone apply for an annual pass?  Just realised I sent off an application over a month ago but haven't received anything yet.  Anyone got theirs?

[dave]

No but gives me an idea - can we get away with an "annual pass application in post" sign on the dash?
