Guest peter Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Frank will no doubt be along in a short while to let you know, as it's his patch. If he's feeling particularly generous he might let you park on the lawn in front of his mansion for a couple of bottles of cheap cider and a bag of chips.

ANY INFO WELCOME Bolton Council's reply to my enquiry was: "Bolton Metro car parks have height restriction barriers in place, the restricted height for vehicles is 2.5 metres. The Traffic Regulation Order states that vehicles authorised for parking places are; Solo motor cycles, Motor vehicles constructed or adapted for the use of conveyance of heavy goods or burden the unladen weight of which does not exceed 1525kg. Invalid carriages, solo pedal cycles and motor cars. Unfortunately, any other kind of vehicles does not fit the above criteria, therefore, cannot use the car parking facilities. We have no on or off street facilities for motor homes. " As earlier posters said, unfortunately you need to find somewhere reasonably close and use public transport.

wints Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Lots of off-road parking around Rivington, which isn't too far from Bolton. Rivington Barn has got 2 biggish car parks without height barriers, and I've not seen any restrictive signs. Also, there are many lanes, off the main roads, where horse boxes are parked whilst the horses are being walked. Watch out for the motorbikers, very popular area for serious bikers.

twooks Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 You can park at Reebok / aka Middlebrook, there is a train / tram service into town [at least there was 3 years ago? never used it tho]; but I understood the query to be for overnighting??
