Mountain rescuers have warned 'Instagram hikers' against visiting the crash site of a Cold War plane after being called out to assist walkers three times in two days. It became a popular destination for social media users after images of the remains were shared on TikTok and Instagram during the lockdown. But mountain rescuers have been discouraging influencers from trekking up to the site after a local team was called out to three incidents in just two days. Hikers have to walk around two miles to the crash site from the lay-by at the summit of Snake Pass, starting along the Pennine Way footpath through Devil's Dyke. The plane, on a routine flight from Lincolnshire to the United States Air Force base near Warrington, is thought to have crashed while descending through fog.
