    GFN - I'm afraid the National Trust have just introduced car Parking charges at Devils Dyke. It's now only free if you are a NT member. I understand that if you spend £10 or more in the pub (which isn't owned by the NT) you can get you money back.

    Some great ideas though.
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    Really? Grrrrr! That's such a shame. Thanks for letting me know though.
    Proud to be a moneysaver :)

    I'm not sure if the pub's own car park directly behind it is still free to patrons only or not.
    Happy cycling:D

    Driving by Ditchling Beacon, stopped off in the car park to have a liitle walk & look at the view.

    Returned to car park, then noticed virtuallly invisible sign "Have you Paid & Displayed", then noticed a man across car park emptying a payment machine.

    Went for another 10 min little walk in opposite direction (hadn't bought P&D ticket), wondered whether I would have parking ticket on my return.

    I guess paying for parking at Ditchling Beacon is quite new.

    When I drove in, didn't notice anyrhing about having to pay for parking, didn't see any signs when I drove in, but I guess whoever runs it they don't want to spoil countryside & people's visit.

    john the car park at the top of Ditchling Beacon has been a pay & display for at least 2-3 years. The car park is owned by the NT. The one at the bottom is still free I believe...

    Just found this but not sure how much the St James Street shop would stock as the Safeway was never huge http://www.morrisons.co.uk/Offers/

    Yeah, I went to the Morrisons a little while ago looking for one of the deals being promoted on beer - but they weren't doing it.

    On another note - does anyone know of anywhere to park without a permit up from the Western Road / Lansdowne/ Montpelier area where you don't have to visit the meter to top up every 4 hours? I don't have a car myself, but if any friends come to visit, it's a bit annoying to have to remember to top it up all the time. Nizells Avenue used to have an 11 hour stay, but they've now changed this. :mad: Suppose they could come by bus or train, but sometimes it is just not all that convenient. Especially if I'm trying to encourage them to take me grocery shopping! :A
