Despairing police had to stop 10 people from London in two separate cars travelling to climb Snowdon in Wales during the coronavirus lockdown.
The group were issued with fines after driving to Penyfan and Snowdon. They were all reported for breaching Covid-19 legislation, reports Wales Online.
North Wales Police said: "We despair - we really do... Please, please, please stay home. "The coronavirus is affecting every part of the UK, nowhere is immune to it. "Now is not the time to come to the national park for a walk.
The beautiful mountains will still be here and we will gladly welcome you all back once this is all over." Car usage has crept up again across the UK as the country enters its sixth week of lockdown.
