In reply to MargieB:
> How do hot spots eg Snowdonia, which had a crowding issue before because people are sort of unimaginative and choose to go to well known spots, avoid crowding again??
Snowdonia isn't overcrowded (and it's still off limits anyway being in Wales), just some parts of it. Shortly before lockdown I walked up Arenig Fach on a nice sunny day and didn't see a single other person all day. 15 miles away the Pass and Ogwen were apparently rammed.
As to the general point of honeypots I think local councils may have to keep car parks closed for a while and publicise that fact to deter people. If people then park illegally they can be fined in the usual way. I'm sure North Wales police will revel in that!
The absence of campsites and B&B's etc will also limit numbers.
Personally I'll be acting responsibly by not visiting any honeypots for a while until the initial surge has calmed down and would encourage others to do likewise. That said I'm always banging on about how unimaginative climbers many climbers are but the hordes still keep going to Stanage. Anyone turning up there this weekend is asking for whatever trouble they get.
