Height Barrier at Old Winchester Hill Car Park

[pigstrotter]

While out walking on the SDW yesterday (Easter Sunday), I noticed a height barrier in place at Old Winchester Hill car park. Is it new? I don't remember it being there last year? Maximum headroom is 7ft (2.1 metres) - I took photos. Will the team minibuses be able to get under that? If not, will the Park Authority open the barrier for the SDW Relay on the day?

We'll be making the normal arrangements to have the barrier opened for the Relay. This is a small car park though, and becomes very congested, so please delay your arrival until as late as possible.

No problem. Jonathan Cawthra confirms it's there every year and we arrange to have it opened up during the Relay.
