Dragon Meetup 2024 Parking

Hi. Forgive me for starting a new Meetup thread but with only a few days to go I figured this would get noticed more quickly.

So, this is directed at people arriving by car or who know Cambridge well. It was suggested last year that people driving to the Meetup could bounce between parking at the Tesco Superstore adjacent to the museum and somewhere other. Where was the other location?

According to Google maps, parking at Tesco is limited to three hours (not sure if this is still accurate) but there's also usually a limit on how soon you can return but that wasn't mentioned on the signage I saw. It's definitely a thing because people vent their frustration online at being fined after popping back to supermarkets having forgotten to buy something.

Can anyone fill in the blanks? What's a good plan?

Last year I was exhibiting and parked at the rear of the museum but discovered later that evening that my car was locked in for the night. Fortunately a member of the bar staff had a key to the gate and was able to let me out. Phew! :lol:

There's a retail park on the opposite side of the main road where Tesco is. I can't remember if the limit was 3 or 4 hours but I ended up moving my car two or three times between the two locations. It's just a few minutes walk so not too bad.
