I got into bother with Northumbria police for this who, having received a report that I'd abandoned my car and gone into the forest to top myself, began to arrange an investigation. I met a police lady at the car park and she told me to tell the cops if I ever did anything like this in future! I didn't pay, although all the local car parks now seem to require payment. I assume this has developed since I did the border walks. As the FC provide a few comedy wild camping spots (they're not very good) - I assume that they're OK with people leaving cars for a few nights and you might consult with the FC about multi-day parking. You could abandon your car in a layby or picnic place and provided you tell the police when you'll be back and the car details etc - there's such a place marked on the map at East Kielder, Some of the CPs marked on the map no longer exist, though. Another option is to park at Byrness where there's ample free parkingMike Knipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792636586674245725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-39562851287373373122018-12-04T12:59:30.082+00:002018-12-04T12:59:30.082+00:00Hi,
