Waveney Ramblers

Parking Problems

Last minute problems, road closures, vehicle fire, etc: It's a great help if the leader has shared their mobile number and has their phone switched on before and during the walk.
To avoid parking problems, please could walk leaders think about possible congestion and perhaps select an alternative car park to avoid pressure.
Sometimes a back-up plan might be appropriate, using an alternative car park nearby, or street parking if necessary.
Pressure can be extreme at seaside car parks during the summer holidays.
Wednesday walks tend to have larger attendances during spring and autumn.
Sometimes other groups want to use the car park. It's hard to avoid this as we have no way of predicting when this might happen.
During Covid, we were asked to avoid car sharing. We should now encourage car sharing when possible.
And finally we could run more, but smaller, walks to reduce parking pressure. Our habit is to walk on Wednesdays and Sundays but this is not a group rule. Additional midweek and Saturday walks would be welcome. We could reintroduce dawn or evening walks, especially in summer. A choice of Wednesday walks could be tried. More volunteers would be needed for this - always a problem.
