North Wales Police are continuing their patrols to prevent unnecessary journeys during the Covid-19 lockdown and have stopped and turned away several individuals who wanted to walk up Snowdon.
Many were from the North Wales area however some have travelled up from London and Milton Keynes to ‘walk their dogs and enjoy the snow.’
Four men who had travelled from Essex to climb Snowdon have also been reported for Covid-19 offences.
Level 4 Welsh Government restrictions means only essential travel and exercise should start and finish from your home, although those with specific health and mobility issues may need to travel.
Police said: “Please do not travel unless necessary. Further information regarding the restrictions and what they mean are available via Alert level 4: frequently asked questions | GOV.WALES
“Snowdon, other mountains and beauty spots will still be there for everyone to enjoy once it is safe to do so.
“Please listen to what is being asked of you – we are in the midst of a global health pandemic. The longer people ignore these restrictions and think they do not apply to them, the longer we will be in lockdown. Keep Wales Safe.”
