PCN when simply changing drivers

Help please. Need to get letter into post on Saturday morning!
My OH has received a PCN from Park Direct UK, Uxbridge. It is dated 5 January and was received on 9 January.
The car was driven onto land by a gym where the registered keeper is a member. The car was driven just off the public road into the entrance slip, turned round, and then the driver exchanged places with the passenger. The car was then driven away.
The two photographs provided as evidence by PDUK both show that the lights were on. The "contravention" time given on the PCN is late afternoon at the end of December (ie it was dark and the notices on the site were non-reflective so not evident).
PDUK are not contracted by the gym but by the gym's landlord.
We have looked at the suggested challenge letter in post #1 of the sticky and would want to cut out the "rant" sections. Having done that, would it still be the basis for a formal response in the above circumstances?

yes, no problem if you do that, leave the rest "as is" though0

no , not at this stage , you are querying the whole validity of the charge
the RK should also be complaining to the gym too , assuming they are a member there (if not just use this standard appeal process)
leave any legal arguments for later on (including the definition of parking, and the right to a few minutes to read signs and obey or leave etc)
presumably the NTK stated the minutes or seconds the vehicle was "trespassing" ?
ie:- the in and out times, so one minus the other0 -

the RK should also be complaining to the gym too , assuming they are a member there (if not just use this standard appeal process) - as in post#1 - the RK is a gym member. He has complained and they say there have been a number of complaints to them and they have raised it with the landlord. But, of course, that gets us nowhere.

presumably the NTK stated the minutes or seconds the vehicle was "trespassing" ? The two pictures are timed 49 seconds apart and the "contravention" time is the whole minute past the seconds of the second one.

Why does one give them 35 days to respond to the drop hands offer? The PCN says they will reply to an appeal within 28 days.0 -
normally a pcn says you have to appeal within 28 days
the BPA CoP says the PPC has 35 days to decide on your appeal0
