WHILE it was very enjoyable to read about the walk to Roseberry Topping and Captain Cook’s monument (Echo, Sept 13), the writer was wrong to say Great Ayton was the place to park.

The cars that are left all day in front of the shops cause a great nuisance for shoppers.

The High Street needs the same treatment as Stokesley, which allows two hours of parking in marked off places in front of the shops.

There is a car park provided at Gribdale for the walkers.
