On Bank Holiday Monday, hundreds of hikers set off for one of Shropshire's most popular hills - mostly, it seems, by car.
At around 4pm, dozens of cars could be seen parked along the double yellow lines and cycle paths down the right-hand side of the main road up to the Wrekin.
A boom in visitors during the Covid pandemic saw the implementation of a temporary, one-way system from Wellington to the popular hill.
It wasn't long after that, and with the help of £75,000 from the Government's active travel scheme to improve cycling and walking during the pandemic, that the temporary measure became permanent.
At the time, Telford & Wrekin Council suggested parking became an issue when the quarry car park became full - but on Monday, that wasn't the case, with plenty of spaces clearly available in the pay and display car park.
