Bristol walkers have been handed fines by police for driving to Wales to climb Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons.
Welsh police tweeted yesterday (Sunday, April 27) that two people from Bristol were stopped on the A470 before they attempted their ascent up the highest peak in the national park.
Wales Online reports they both were told to return to their home address in Bristol after being issued Covid-19 fines.
A spokesperson for the Brecon Roads Policing Unit said: "Two persons stopped on the A470 attempting to walk Pen Y Fan.
"Covid-19 tickets were issued and both were advised to return to their home address in Bristol."
In a separate incident, officers also stopped 10 people in two separate cars who had driven from London to climb Snowdon, Wales' highest peak.
In a statement, 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."
Snowdonia National Park Authority has closed the busiest mountains in Snowdonia including Snowdon, Cader Idris, Aran Benllyn, Aran Fawddwy and those in the Ogwen Valley.
Police forces across Wales say most people are following advice to stay home to avoid the further spread of coronavirus.
However, they previously said a "a small minority" had "selfishly put others at risk" and had been fined.
