Lockdown visits to Brecon Beacons

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-55474533



On Monday, cars filled a car park below Pen y Fan, the highest mountain in southern Britain, as much of the country was put on alert for snow.

Wales' alert level four restrictions only allow travel if it is essential.
Aled Davies, the deputy leader of Powys County Council and the leader of the Welsh Conservatives within the council, said that he was "not angry... just disappointed" to see people seemingly travelling to exercise in the Brecon Beacons.

Mr Davies said: "I can understand why people want to get out into the fresh air" but that "the rules are very, very clear around this".

Dyfed-Powys Police tweeted that they were "conducting high visibility patrols" in the Brecon Beacons and "officers are engaging and educating and where necessary will enforce restrictions".

In line with Welsh Government restrictions under the Covid-19 Alert Level system, all our places in Wales are currently closed as part of the national effort to bring coronavirus under control. The safety of our staff, volunteers, visitors and local communities remains our priority and we will continue to follow Welsh Government restrictions. We encourage everybody to follow the latest restrictions and stay at home. We look forward to welcoming you back when we're able to.
Rules ..... what rules .....

Lots of ventilation up there. I was last there in 2014. Quite a view.

Police turn away Londoners visiting Brecon Beacons



https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-55474533

Police are turning away visitors to the Brecon Beacons from as far away as London.

Dyfed-Powys Police said more than 500 vehicles were in the area on Tuesday, including a minibus from Cheltenham.

The force said people from mixed households travelled in the minibus, while they had also spoken to a man who had travelled from Hertfordshire.
Hundreds still got through the roadblocks:



The stupidity of the masses is amazing .....

Idiots the lot of them but these people will be first in the queue to complain when the government is forced to keep restrictions in place because the virus keeps spreading.

If any of those rules breakers are on furlough, the government should remove their furlough. When people on benefits do wrong, their benefits are stopped. Same should happen to those on furlough who break the rules. Anyone that gives a false name and address, arrest them and bang them up in jail until they give you their name and address.

Hard and drastic measures need to be put in place for those who break the rules because the virus is a killer and it's spread needs to stop. Stop people moving about and the virus stops spreading.
