On the image below the obvious route is to a) drive in to the right [RED] and when ready to leave, or to allow another parkup, b) reverse along the yellow line and finally drive out via the green line
The area to the left, where reversing is used can accommodate two vehicles. if you are the first try using the lower part.

Early June Gavin came to stay, and the area by the pine tree at the bottom of the triangle field was modified, initially Gavin. Gavin laid a row of stones and backfilled a bit then when Gavin left, after some 18 days, I worked on the area for some hours and made up another place a second slot.
Later that Saturday, Afriqnmum, Rob and Raife came to stay for the night and it became clear that what I had done to the initial park-up wasn't level enough, so today, Monday I have reworked the area again. Subsequently improvements were made:
After the area to the right was tested and found to be wanting, brick and stones were added for a night's stay some week ago.
July 17th I permanently built up the area with rubble.
July 19th both slots had hours of improvement.
July 27th Another hour of improvement after visitors have left.
August 26th See comments where from when I can be bothered to note more work on this.

Gavin has widened the track north and cleared an area to the east to park his van for 2 to 3 months as he works on establishing an agricultural presence.
