Title: Widdop parking
Post by: remus on July 10, 2020, 09:44:36 pm: There's a note on UKC from mid June stating that the parking at widdop is closed off with concrete blocks. Any idea if this is still the case?

Parking seems to now just be happening on the road itself.

Post by: Paul B on August 08, 2020, 09:02:17 pm: The blocks have now been moved back into the parking so there's no need to park on the road.
