That is useful information, but it's at odds with the car park provision. So now you park up near the crossing and have to walk back to the petrol station. Not so bad on a bike, but instead of reaching the Walkers Car Park at the end of a hard day/ 2 days/ 3 days after a nice stretch of downhill, you have to do a bit of uphill from the arch to the car park. I would do it just because I follow the rules and try to avoid any confrontation with locals, but it will just encourage parking in the village. Unless the filling station wants to use their car park to charge for longer term parking (just now the charge is by the hour and would be prohibitively expensive for a day or more in the hills).
