The general standard of driver is going downhill so looking at this parking I'm not surprised the cars got damaged, put yourself in the Farmers position, how many times do you think the farmer has come across this and other roads obstructed ? The basic rue is Park out of the way, this is NOT a new rule, if you want to keep it, look after it.. There are far more cars than spaces here, I wouldn't have stopped, I would have gone to another area to walk, I am not a fan of verge parking, the verge gets damaged and brings the area down... The Lake District has got way too busy for my liking, a victim of it's own success I suppose. Sadly Man will only bring destruction, The Parks Authority struggle to keep the Fells in a presentable condition as it is. Sorry I have turned into a rant...
Basically accept responsibility for your actions, don't get in anybodys way, be polite and help one another.. The rest looks after itself..
