Do the gates on whinlatter VC car park get locked at any set time? Don’t want to be locked in having an evening ride!

I don’t remember any gates!

Yes, they do, although I’ve never figured out exactly when. Park in Revelin Moss CP (towards Keswick on the other side of the road). It’s on the last bit of the blue / South red.

There are gates but I don’t think i have seen them closed. Try the Forest Ranger on 01768 778469

They’re supposed to close at 6 last time I was there (November).

Yep there are gates and they generally get locked at 9ish depends on dusk time. No gates that get locked at Revlin Moss carpark.

Dusk would be you general loose guide.
This is probably why it was closed at 6 in November.
If your not doing a pre organised event and you doing a late evening ride as previously mentioned Park at Revlin Moss.

Thought I saw a gate at Revelin Moss, but it might not get locked. But it does have ANPR parking meters (that don’t recognise my German reg plates 😈 ).
Masmill definitely has a gate, and it was shut when I was there a few weeks back (possibly due to forestry works – think some of the trails might have been redirected too – I was only there to walk up one of the mountains sans bike)

Never seen the gate at Revelin Moss shut, and I’ve been there at times when the main gate is shut.
