With parking at a premium in the Lake District, a little local knowledge always comes in handy.
Like, “Don’t park in a ditch”, for example.
The advice was either ignored or came too late for the driver of this sorry-looking Volkswagen, which became wedged in a culvert on a narrow road on the west side of Derwentwater three weeks ago.
It has remained there ever since while it waits for a tow truck.
