Mountain Rescue Crews in Noord -Wales are at the breaking point due to a huge increase in call -outs because of Tiktok and Instagram -influencers draw 'unprecedented' crowds.
It comes after two dead took place in just ten days. Civil engineer Maria Eftimova, 28, who had a 'love for extreme sport', died when she fell 60 ft while she scaled Snowdonia's Tryfan North Ridge.
The other walker slid on a piece of grass and fell 32ft on February 16 while walking Glyder Fach.
Maria's friends thanked the Mountain Rescue Crews who tried to save her on February 22.
But the police say that influencers on social media apps such as Tiktok and Instagram are responsible for a larger number of people walking in the mountains and on the coast.
Popular places such as Mam Tor and Doveale's Stepstones in the Peak District have taken the headlines in recent months because they are flooded with people attracted by social media.
Similarly, 'idiot' tourists are accused of causing 'chaos' in Snowdonia, which made warnings about attentive behavior for the area and the local population.
Many are starting walkers and do not have the experience needed to tackle more difficult routes.

Images that are placed on social media are often taken on a good day when it has not rained and the routes are not so dangerous.
University student Maria, originally from Bulgaria, was an experienced walker who was well equipped and ran with a group.
Her friend Megan Griffiths said: 'Maria was a unique person who lived full of life only adventurous and free, but also incredibly friendly, intelligent and selfless.
“We are so grateful for Maria's friends, crew and the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Team for their efforts to save her.”
But it was just one of the many emergency calls in Noord -Wales in the past two weeks.
The police of Noord -Wales said that the number of calls to Mountain Rescue had been 'almost unprecedented' in the last two weekends.
This is partly because influencers post about 'absolutely amazing' walks.
Chief inspector Owain Llewellyn said the BBC: 'What we see is a dramatic increase in photos and videos of the area that appears on social media, often posted by influencers.

“Some images they share is absolutely amazing. It really emphasizes what Eryri has to offer, but unfortunately some of those images are taken on a good day when it has not rained.
“Then we see visitors coming here, and on the day they arrive, the weather conditions are not so nice when they get out of the car – and they don't always understand that the circumstances in the mountains can be even worse.”
Maria, who had more than 10,000 followers on social media, was an experienced mountaineer and recently followed an ice climbing course in Norway.
She lived in Manchester, where she worked for a civil engineering company, but benefactors now raise money to repatriate her body to her family in her native Bulgaria.
Friend Victoria Critchley, who set up the page, said: 'Maria was an ambitious, clear and cherished 28-year-old, whose lively personality, energy and aura touched and lifted all around her.
'She had a passion for engineering, studied civil engineering at the University of Salford and a love for extreme sports.

“She had an insatiable thirst for life and exploring our world beauty. Tragically enough she was taken out of her family much, much, much, way too quickly! '
Victoria said that the fundraising is to help Maria's destroyed family.
She said: “Add to their immense grief, the family, who lives in Bulgaria, is confronted with a considerable financial burden to repatriate Mary and give her the worthy farewell with her loved ones she deserves.”
Friend Jem Elder wrote: 'We will miss you every day, forever Maria Eftimova.
'Your beautiful, uplifting spirit will always live on, you were really the definition of loving life and leading a happy, fulfilled life, inspire others to follow in your footsteps. See you on the last climb. '
The tragedy came only six days after Dr. Charlotte Crook, 30, also died during climbing in the same region.
Dr. Crook collapsed 30 ft until her death while he walked on Glyder Fach with a fellow medication.
She descended a part of the path on her stomach when she seemed to lose her foot and about a ledge, an investigation was told.
Both women were attended by the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organization.

Speaking of Maria's accident, the team said: 'A group rose the Noordrug when one of them fell 20 meters in steep terrain.
'Passers -by with climbing equipment went up and made her safe, and a team member who was already nearby, went down and started resuscitation.
'Colleagues from Welsh Ambulance Service were at the basics, while the Coastguard helicopter dropped team members on the mountain.
'Unfortunately, the victim had not survived her injuries and was taken to Oggie Base.
“The thoughts of all involved are with the victims and friends, thanks to all the members of the audience who tried to help.”
