North England Leighton Moss

This should be an easy one to answer. I'm planning to go to Leighton Moss next weekend so could someone tell me, at what time can you get into the reserve at Leighton Moss?
The Web site says opening times are dawn to dusk, with the information centre opening at 9.30am. Never having been before can you bypass the centre to get to the reserve hides or are some of the hides only accessible through the centre?
Any information will be gratefully received.

As far as I know all hides can be accessed without going through the reception centre. For the public hide you can park on the road just before the main car park. If you are not an RSPB member there is a small honesty box to drop some money in to help keep the reserve going.

Thank you for the info, that's just what I need to know, didn't want to break any rules.
