I can't think offhand of any day ticket waters under £5, so £6 for this place didn't seem at all over-priced to me. If there's some surcharge to pay for security, I'd say that's still a bargain. There have been a few places over the years where I'd like to have fished but the parking place was notorious for break-ins, a famous Long Eaton Trent stretch, for instance. A solution costing a quid or so would have been welcome.
Someone said yesterday morning not to leave any stuff in your car. That's impractical for me - there's always stuff in my car, from the satnav I needed to find the place to tackle (not rods or reels) and clothing not wanted on the day. Once we realised the security/car park bloke was there for the day, I didn't have to give it a further thought.
I know it seems bad when a pretty, out of the way spot is a car-crime risk, but I guess it is that exactly because anglers leave their cars out of sight for hours and there's nobody about.
