I see that Dorset police have sent  people from Southampton and London packing .....not accepting that they were having their daily exercise at Portland.

I'm surprised anyone even noticed. Most of the climbing there is well out of sight from what I remember.

The article in a local paper said locals reported the climbers to the police.

I am sure they had spent 20 mins rock hopping to Wallsend no-one would have bothered them....

Historically there has been friction between locals and climbers mainly caused by lack of parking. 

I've no sympathy with those who travelled from Southampton and even worse from London! Don't these selfish idiots understand the meaning of "stay local"? Lock down is tough for everyone, and with the grim death toll now close to 100,000 they should be ashamed.

Rock jocks are young, fit and healthy; Covid rules don't apply to them, ask Lord Ash, he'll put you right.

It's us wrinklys who should stay indoors.

The article says the ‘large’ groups where two groups of two. They should have said they were trying to find Noahs Ark.
