flanker Aug 2020 9:35pm, 17 Aug 2020 19,367 posts	0 flanker ff, agreed, if that was the case - I wasn't sure how "in the village" it was. I was mainluy responding generally to R's comments about sleeping in laybys. If you're parked in front of someone's house then it's a different scenario ... and you should expect to get rolled off the car in the middle of the night
mr d Aug 2020 9:44pm, 17 Aug 2020 3,719 posts	0 mr d I think that lay by is the other side of the footbridge to Keswick. Quite often see campervans there.
Northern Exile Aug 2020 10:00pm, 17 Aug 2020 6,713 posts	0 Northern Exile Didn't the council ban overnight parking in that particular lay-by last year?
mr d Aug 2020 10:13pm, 17 Aug 2020 3,720 posts	0 mr d Possibly, was it the same time they banned cycling over the bridge?
Northern Exile Aug 2020 10:17pm, 17 Aug 2020 6,714 posts	0 Northern Exile Don't know. I didn't actually know that cycling was banned over the bridge .... I've only ever ran over it
Snoot Aug 2020 10:38pm, 17 Aug 2020 214 posts	0 Snoot Wonder if they were on the village side of the bridge? Could be the turning circle which is all double yellows?
flyingfinn Aug 2020 11:01pm, 17 Aug 2020 2,135 posts	0 flyingfinn I don't think it's the Keswick side of the bridge. Could be the turning circle or there is at least one lay by in the village, just before the marina as you head towards Stair.
flyingfinn Aug 2020 11:04pm, 17 Aug 2020 2,136 posts	0 flyingfinn And yes NE they outlawed overnight parking down the stretch of road on the Keswick side at the beginning of last year (there isn't really a layby the campers and mohos just used to park down one side of the road) and certainly last year I understood they were pretty hot on enforcing it.

Maintained by Northern Exile

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
