Wild campers using car park next to iconic Welsh landmarks and leave disgusting mess in woods
Campers are also parking on local streets to the frustration of residents
Freeloading wild campers are using parking spaces at a country park to stay overnight - leaving a disgusting mess in the woods. Ty Mawr Country Park is by the Grade II Listed Cefn railway viaduct across the River Dee and close to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.

The Wrexham council run site is a popular place for walkers and other visitors - both from the local area and further afield. But recently its overflow car park has become popular with wild campers.

Caravans pitch up on school playing fields as headmaster slams 'ignorant' behaviour
The school has issued a six-point plan to keep pupils safe while the caravans remain in place

Unthinking tourists?   it sounds more like freeloading travellers to me and the clean up operation will have to start once they have left the field

I have every sympathy with the residents of Newborough and my worst fears are that the unthinking tourists may either accidently or deliberately start fires that would destroy the forest and all the wildlife that live there
I do not know if anything has changed but many years ago the residents of Newborough had permits that were displayed on their cars that allowed them free access into the car park.   They also had a key to a second car park and the gate to the second car park is always loocked.
I know that because I had to use a key years ago.       I hope that that is still the case but it's little consolation to the residents when they get invaded by the tourists

There's a significant lack of planning and simply brains in terms of anticipating the effects of weather on activities, too. Five extreme running events on Snowdon were given the chop, with the organisers saying "Due to extreme temperatures, it is no longer safe to continue with the event....Our top priority is the safety and wellbeing of all participants. Please bear with us as we focus on ensuring everyone returns safely."

Shame, really, that they hadn't checked with the Met Office prior to starting the thing.
