Thankyou for your help and advice. The car park owner has very kindly offered to get the ticket cancelled given the circumstances. However I do believe this gesture is from the owner and probably wouldn't have also been offered by the parking company. Because of this, we will definitely return to Crickley Hill again and make use of the Cafe, though I think we might try to park elsewhere.

Thanks for the advice.The date of contravention is shown as 18/06/2023. The date of issue is shown as 26/06/2023. The date it arrived was 30/06/2023.I don't have any pictures but I can try to go back to the site soon when I get some spare time.In the mean time, here are some screenshots from google (from 2021 and 2019). The car park is accessed by a long lane from the main road and there are some signs along it. Here is the site.

Hi Pepipoo,My partner has received a 'Notice to Keeper or Hire Company' from Minster Baywatch with a £100 fine (£60 within 14 days) relating to a car park at Crickley Hill in Gloucestershire.We were both in the car and we drove to the car park intending to go for a nice walk there. On the way there we got into a bit of an argument and ended up sitting in the car talking things through (I won't bore you with the details but we've got a lot going on at the moment). Eventually we decided not to stay so we just drove home. According to the letter we were in the car park for 29 minutes (though I'm slightly suspicious of that) but we didn't get out at all during that time, we didn't even switch the engine off or open a door. We didn't read the parking charges sign because we didn't really 'park' as such.The letter arrived 4 working days after the date printed on it and we have been given the option of paying £60 within 14 days of said date.Do we have any grounds to appeal it?Thanks,Jaspa
