I'm hoping to go to Snettisham to coincide with the high tide roost at the end of September. I've read a suggestion that to get a parking space you need to arrive at least 2 hours before high tide (allowing for the walk out). May I ask please for anyone who has been recently if this is the case or can I have an extra 30 mins in bed !
and help to keep the site free for all

I've been several times over the last few years and Ive noticed it has become increasingly popular... the last few times it has even been busy for the early morning ones and in the evening the car park will be full well before the time they suggest arriving. There is another car park further down the road close to the beach though, it's not free for RSPB members but the walk is actually easier as it is straight along the sea wall.
The walk is around 30 minutes (depending on how much you are carrying!)

Don't expect it will be any quieter early in the morning. I've had a couple of pre-dawn starts there and plenty of people were there already. It was a nice atmosphere though - a shared experience.
