LN parking - what's it like these days?

Post by downhilldave » Sat Jan 15, 2022 1:52 am

Hi and Happy New Year!
I'm contemplating spending a "pot luck" day at the Heath next week (the first for about two years!) and was wondering how the various parking tribulations, covered in another thread, have played out.
It all sounded dire last year - is it still worth making the trip?
I'd be grateful for a brief heads-up.
Cheers

I cant really offer any in depth analysis mate as I haven't really seen any issues in the times that I have been.

I probably did LN around 12 times last year and didn't have a single issues at any of the parking locations.

I highly suspect that you won't experience any issues if you do visit.

I went there just before Christmas and whilst it was busy there was no problem in finding a space to park. Be aware that Monday 17th is a down-day as it is a Public Holiday in the US for Martin Luther King Day.

Went on Thursday for first time in ages. Considering all the hoo has over parking, I found it no different to any of my previous visits, with cars in all the same places

Thanks guys. You've told me what I needed to know.
Looks like business as usual at LN.
And thanks to Snoop 95 for the heads-up re the 17th.
To save anyone else's trouble I reckon this thread's now closed.
Cheers

I was there on Thursday and drove into the viewing area c1015 without a problem.
There were spaces in there all day, so, good luck when you do go.
