Tried to cut back to our lake hotel and got turned at two junctions. Procession still feels active. Anyone found a working way around the blocked loop tonight, or do we just wait it out.

While the cortege is mid-route, expect filters on the usual loop. Walk the long way via open side streets rather than arguing with police at the tape.

Police info portals promote parking and reunion points for the season - useful if you got split. Hotline 081 22 33 333 if someone is missing.

Do not wait for Grab inside the cordon - apps go dead. Walk out to a pin outside the loop, then call a car.
