Car parks can't handle social distancing
The sun comes out. Lockdown comes down a bit. Families head to Dartmoor.
The very thing that the National Park Authority feared comes true. Its car parks are too busy to cope safely.
On Saturday, the ranger team took to social media to announce car parks in the Haytor, Postbridge and Newbridge area have too many vehicles to keep to social distancing guidelines.
The Visit Dartmoor organisation say the village of Belstone "is swamped too. Absolute madness here."
It comes just a day after chief constable Shaun Sawyer appealed to people to "think twice" about where they went for their excercise - and for people outside the region to stay away for a little while longer.
Dartmoor rangers have politely asked people to avoid the areas most affected.
