Horizon parking charges from Tesco Hove with a little twist.

Failing to comply with a no entry restriction
Not sure if this is even worth an appeal. saw a parking spot down a road and stupidly decided to reverse down the road to park instead of driving around the block and was caught on camera. Just thought I would ask in case there is anything i can appeal on?
