Mystery Of 4x4 Near Summit Of Snowdon

[Chatsie]

Police are investigating how a vehicle ended up on a footpath close to the summit of Snowdon.



It is believed the 4x4 was driven up on Saturday morning but may have become stuck on the descent about 400 yards (365m) from the top.



North Wales Police confirmed they were called to the incident but currently have no more details.



Snowdon is Wales's highest mountain at 1,085m (3,560 ft).



Walkers passing the Vauxhall Frontera have taken photographs of the vehicle on the Llanberis side of the summit, close to the train track.



It is unclear exactly when it was driven up there.

Well there's a number plate on the back of the jeep, surely the police could track the owners down through the DVLC in order to get some answers.



It's a good piece of driving though!



Also, if the Top Gear team can drive to the North Pole, then why not drive to the top of Snowdon?

Here's an update.....



A man who drove his 4x4 up Snowdon said he did it because it was top of his 50 things to do before he dies list.



Craig Williams, 39, from Gloucestershire, said it was not a publicity stunt and something he did on the spur of the moment.



He added he understood criticism that his actions had been irresponsible.



Mr Williams has been charged with driving on common land and will appear in court on 16 September.



There's no plan of action as we speak, there wasn't to begin with, he told the BBC.



Out of a list of 50 things to do before you die, this was one of them.



If you think that was on top of the list, the other 49 are now not going to be done, he added.
