A group of 11 hikers who drove more than 150 miles from London to the Peak District have been fined for breaching coronavirus rules after one of them crashed their car.

They were caught flouting Covid-19 laws by police near Bamford, Derbyshire after one driver flipped his car on the A6013 following a day in the countryside.
The men, who were embarking on the three-hour journey home, were each handed £200 penalties for travelling between Tier Four areas.
Crowds descended on the Brecon Beacons today despite Welsh police and park authorities urging people to stick to stringent lockdown rules.
Hikers and families with sledges defied pleas from officials and headed to the snow-blanketed Storey Arms beauty spot, wrapping up for the crisp wintry weather.
Brecon Beacons authorities have expressly told people to follow stay at home orders and not come to the site. Wales is in lockdown with only essential travel permitted, therefore people are unable to drive to visit any of the Welsh National Parks, reads the instruction.

WALES’ three National Park authorities - Pembrokeshire, Snowdonia and Brecon Beacons - are calling for the public to follow Welsh Government guidelines by staying home and staying safe. While Wales remains in lockdown, it is clear that some people are ignoring Welsh Government regulations and attempting to access popular National Park beauty spots, putting themselves and the parks fragile rural communities at greater risk. The Park Authorities are reminding all UK residents to remember that Wales is in lockdown with only essential travel permitted, therefore people are unable to drive to visit any of the Welsh National Parks. Tegryn Jones, chief executive of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority said: “There is no doubt these are challenging times but all of our safety depends on people respecting the rules and doing the right thing. Right now this means staying at home to stay safe and only exercising from our doorsteps.
