A nation of slip roads: Army of lockdown ramblers trampling over beauty spots turn paths into mudbath... and there's more rain and snow on the way

We've all been bogged down by the boredom of staying indoors, but this is the muddy trail of devastation left by an army of lockdown walkers in beauty spots across Britain. Now conservation groups fear that the sheer number of families out and about with little else to do may be wreaking long-term damage. Walkers refusing to stick to designated routes may also be to blame. Footpaths have been turned to muddy puddles across Britain, including along the Downlands Circular walk in Surrey Mud and puddles have pushed families towards the road as they enter Richmond Park - with more wet weather on the way Some paths have been rendered virtually unusable, with hikers struggling to keep their footing. Bellingdon in Buckinghamshire has transformed into tough terrain for some dogwalkers too  Some paths have been rendered virtually unusable, with hikers struggling to keep their footing.  Other trails looked impassable, with routes widening from two to 12 metres as walkers ignore designated tr

Chilling new footage shows missing millionaire Melissa Caddick during raid on her mansion just hours before she vanished - as police make stunning admission about her DJ husband

Newly-released footage has provided the last glimpses of Melissa Caddick just hours before the millionaire funds manager went missing, as her furious former friends described her as 'evil' for betraying them. The new footage showed police raiding her $6.1million Sydney mansion at 6am on November 11 last year - a day before her disappearance - as part of investigations into allegations she had siphoned off tens of millions of dollars from her clients when she was supposed to be investing for them. The 49-year-old allegedly took more than $20 million of investors' money to fund her jetsetter lifestyle of designer clothing, luxury cars and exotic holidays. Detective Inspector Gretchen Atkins told 60 Minutes on Sunday night that police had had 'some pretty tough conversations as to what's happened' with Caddick's younger partner Anthony Koletti. Mr Koletti, an unemployed DJ who met Caddick while working as a hairdresser, waited 30 hours after she left the house

One year on a survivor of the black summer bushfires has shared an incredible transformation photo – but says there is a long way to go

A survivor of the black summer bushfires has shared an amazing photo showing how vegetation is bouncing back a year after the devastating blazes - but says he is still reeling from the mental health effects of the traumatic event.  Botanist Greg Bourke told his wife and two children to flee before he hunkered down to defend their house from bushfires in Mount Tomah in the Blue Mountains on December 15, 2019. He managed to save his house despite fires on parts of the family property and took a photo of his scorched backyard and surrounding bushland afterwards.  In December 2020, Mr Bourke took took another photo of the backyard, which showed vegetation has started to recover - but a melted lawnmower served as a reminder of the horrific blazes just 12 months earlier.  Mr Bourke put the two pictures together to create a split image that showed the contrast between the burnt wasteland and lush vegetation just a year later.   The left shows Greg Bourke's backyard in Mount Tomah in the B

It's a national tragedy: When Covid-19 puts our ethnic minorities more at risk, why IS the uptake of the jab among BAME patients so much lower, asks SUE REID

There’s no shortage of customers for Covid-19 vaccinations at Blackburn Cathedral, where, for generations, local folk have sung Christian hymns in their Sunday best. Today, the imposing building is open for other business. Instead of saving souls, it is busy helping to save lives.  Volunteers hold umbrellas over Lancashire’s elderly, many in wheelchairs or propped up by walking sticks, as they guide them into the crypt for pre-booked appointments to have the Covid-19 vaccine. First in the door as the cathedral opened as a jabs’ hub was John Mason, 82, from Bolton. When he emerged 20 minutes later, he said: ‘It was easy-peasy. Nothing to worry about.’ But that’s not how everyone round here sees it.  The vaccinations were first offered to all Lancastrians aged 80 and above living within a 45-minute drive of the cathedral, an area dotted by multicultural former mill towns. Yet we found a dramatic mismatch between people turning up and the ethnic make-up of those who live in this part of t
