Packed Snowdon paths 'covered in filth' over Bank Holiday

One of Snowdon’s most popular paths was covered in human faeces as visitors flocked to climb to the summit on Easter weekend.

Mountain guide Gemma Davies, who led a sunrise hike up Wales’ highest mountain on Saturday, April 16, said she had to warn people to “mind the poo” on their way up. She even caught a man doing a poo on the mountain’s railway line.

She told the BBC toilets at the summit and the bottom of the mountain were closed, meaning visitors left their stool in paper cups, under stones and on the popular Llanberis path. Snowdonia National Park Authority said nothing unusual had been reported.
