Polzeath . .expensive parking

Postby tree4 » Mon Dec 08, 2008 10:33 am

Just a heads up for you guys.

I was at Polzeath yesterday (7th Dec) and as I pulled up to park on the beach the car park attendant was busy applying a penalty ticket to a VW Golf estate. £35 fine minimum if paid immediately.

The parking fee during winter is 50p for 2 hours. Which is peanuts.

Don't risk it guys, they do work Sundays and will prosecute.

I was down visiting the TUBESTATION there.

Yeah, I caught my first proper clean 2ft wave where I actually came down the face of the wave from the top to the bottom and it was all silent until the wave broke behind me. I was so stoked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was if time stood still (for all of 1.5 seconds). I was so excited I let the wave take me too far in to shore but the paddle out again was easy. After that, I only caught crap. But it was worth the 6 1/2 hours driving for the 1 hour in sea and that 1 wave.

Parking in Bournemouth is £1/hr ($1.50/hr) and we don't have anything like the surf you have at HB, so quit whining. :wink:

And come the spring/summer. the charges in Polzeath will rocket.

LOL the biggest parking hassle I have is trying to find a 4wd track to get to the beach and then hoping a pissed off seal doesn't chase me off it

Can't say that I miss uk car park fees one bit.

Yeah I'd appreciate that please. But I now have friends at Tubestation so I can use their private car park if there is space available. But a a second option would be nice Phil.
