Four Essex men broke strict Covid rules as they drove hundreds of miles to Wales in a bid to climb Snowdon.
Welsh Police took to Twitter yesterday to slam the four men - who have now been reported for Covid-19 offences and are set to face fines.
Essex residents are supposed to be staying home for all but essential travel under Tier 4 restrictions.
Tier 4 restrictions are also in place in Wales, meaning residents should only leave their homes for a small number of reasons including exercise, work, education, childcare and medical reasons.
