[LM24] Drivers Parade - Parking?

[Aysedasi]

I haven't been to the parade for a few years now but as my son is coming again, this time with his girlfriend, I thought we'd go this year. A question (either for those who go each year, or perhaps for Eric) - where's the best place to park? I was thinking of parking down by the river and walking up to the old town (although the last time I did that it nearly killed me.... ). I also well remember the last time I did the parade with the Tourists and we managed to park inside the parade route, meaning that we couldn't get out again for hours and arrived about 3 hours late for dinner..... Dinner probably isn't so much of an issue this year, but it would be good to find somewhere sensible to park that we can easily get out of when we've seen enough to get back for early shuteye in preparation for the sleepless weekend.....
