I arrived at Putsborough car park in N Devon on Saturday afternoon at around 4.15pm. There was about an hour left of light. They still charged me £3! This is typical of the grasping landowners around that area. Years ago (before surfing got so reidiculously popular, they charges only applied in summer and by 4pm there would be no charge. There were about 200 cars in the car park at that time so a conservative estimate would have been about 500 cars there all day. Thats about 2 grand taken in one day (it costs more earlier in the day. What do you get for that? A mown piece of grass and some toilets. The cafe erected a few years ago makes a nice profit as well.
Just to rub it in, I got dropped in on on every wave.
