12. Parking in designated parking areas. At the moment the farm kindly allows us vehicle access to the lake perimeter at your own risk. Be aware the track can become boggy. In wet weather leave your vehicle in the car park and get the barrow out. If you get stuck on the track it’s your responsibility to arrange to get your vehicle recovered. Do not block the perimeter track with your vehicle as there has to be tractor access for grass cutting (if the track is blocked the grass won’t get cut). This is under review at the moment by the farm.
