Parking @ HG in Bristol?

[andyb]

Is there customer parking at Hein Gericke in Bristol, going to be popping around on Weds

Park on the hugely wide pavement outside the front door. It may not be legal but its what everyone does.
Check they have what you want if pos, they seem to have stock flow problems.

Cheers, will ring them tomorrow and check. I going by car, anywhere else I can park?

Ah, sorry!

Well, there is some on street pay and display in the streets at the side and behind Hein Gericke, so worth a look there first then failing that there is an NCP very very close immediately on the left as you head back towards the start of the M32 start of the massive Broadmead/St JAmes Barton roundabout. Best thing is find it and drive around as the road system means you cant easily turn around etc as I acnt even start to explain the traffic system even though I can picture it. Typical Bristol, drive by somewhere then you can't get back for 10 mins or so.

But no, no car customer parking.

If you are coming it might be worth taking in Fowlers down near Temple Meads and BMW on the Bath Rd if you want to tour the Bristol bike dealers :lol:

If you can, take the bike. Parking on the sidestreet to the left of the HG store is very pricey. Dunno how this compares to NCP mind.

Also might be worth checking out J&S Accessories (google them on the web) if you're considering clothing or a lid. Get the postcode and stick it in the sat nav if you have one.

Yes, on the A38 in at the Filton BAe roundabout in the shopping center by Snow & Rock.

Seriously, if you can, bring the bike. Driving in Bristol makes you cry.

Like everyone says, on the bike park on the pavement in front of the shop.

A - Shop
In the car:
B - I have managed to park on King Square in the past, but I can't remember if it is pay or not.
C to F - Sometimes if you drive round and round Dove street you'll get a spot, and I'm pretty sure it's not pay & display. However it is usually full.

Hein Gericke to J&S is very straight forward. Just straight up Gloucester Road. About 3 miles. Should only take about half an hour in the car :)

Cheers guys. Have got to take the car as taking GF to hospital in Southmead and don't fancy going two up from Salisbury on the ZX6! She's not a great pillion at the best of times!!! I've got sat nav so I'll just drive around a bit until I can find some parking.

Thanks for the help guys. Hosp appointment was canceled on Weds so I had to wait another two days!!! Parked in NCP which is bloody expensive. Anyhow...go myself some lovely new Arlen Ness leathers! (Please no-one say that Arlen Ness are carp :) )
