Parking Information

This will be signed from the Spout Force /Darling How Car Park turning (NY181255) on the B5292 Braithwaite to Lorton Road – otherwise known as Whinlatter Pass, the turning is towards the west end of the pass, and is approximately 2 km west of the visitor centre turning. The turning is a right turn before the steep descent to Lorton. From there follow signs along the forest track, please drive carefully, be aware of walkers, cyclists and other users who may be on the track. It is approximately 2-3 km. The track is not suitable for large motorhomes, which we suggest can be parked at the Spout Force Car Park, followed by either a cycle, walk or hitch to the registration etc. DO NOT try to access the event via the Whinlatter Visitor Centre, as this will not be possible for vehicles Arranging car sharing is encouraged. This event has linear parking, along the side of the track. Once you arrive at the parking, please follow the directions of the marshals. There is some limited priority parking for families with small children. There is some parking for small minibuses, please contact the organiser if you are bringing a minibus.
