A simple walk in Telford Town Park became a bit of a saga. We had intended to park in Dark Lane car park to avoid the crowds near to Telford Town Centre. We found that you could only pay by app which refused to allow Mr C access to pay. This left us with the choice of relocating or accepting the risk of getting a parking fine.
We chose to relocate which allowed us to enjoy the walk without worrying about receiving a fine.
all good, as it ends with happy faces, CP. a nice post and i am sure you enjoyed the walk and visit to these creatures.
The dinosaurs were behind a fence. Just where they needed to be.
I hate those parking machines that only let you pay with an app.
I agree they are annoying. When we visited Liverpool we couldn’t pay in the first car park we chose which meant we had to find another.
I think I am going to take photographic evidence next time this happens, as I am sure it will.
Oh, tell me more about miner statue, what is he holding?
Canary in the coal mine?!

We will be using a free car park on our next visit. I couldn’t explain to Mr C how to get there by road but during the walk I took him the where it is.
Parking there would start the walk from the opposite end of the Town Park.
