I want to park the car all day in Shap while I pootle off on two wheels. I'm looking for somewhere to park that won't cause an obstruction. The only car park I can see on Google Earth is up by the cricket ground/play area. Is this OK for visitors to use and if not is there anywhere else that is safe and not hampering the residents?

You've not been to Shap before then? I doubt you'll struggle to find somewhere to park that doesn't inconvenience anyone. It's not Keswick on a BH Monday 😉

Yup, been to Shap many times, but only for short visits. Roads other than A6 are all a bit narrow and residential and I don't want to upset anyone by leaving my car in their favourite spot for 5/6 hours.

If it's a public road, and there's no restrictions, it doesn't matter if it's their "spot" or not. Just park it.

I know, but I like to consider other folk. I know I have my "rights" but I also have obligations.

Just go careful if you find yourself going past Sleddale Hall - there’s a randy Bull in’t top field.

Rewatched that film just the other day.

The finest booze known to man.

You could actually park up at Wet Sleddale reservoir. There’s a car park up there. Assuming you’re out for the day on bikes of course.

As long as you aren't planning on 'prancing like a tit', you should be fine just parking alongside the A6.
