A furious farmer sprayed dozens of cars with slurry during the heatwave after they illegally parked on a field in a beauty spot.
Phone footage shows at least 20 vehicles, including Mercedes, Jaguars and BMWs, parked on private land near Rydal Water, in the Lake District, Cumbria, covered in muck.
At the start of the video, a sign is visible which reads ‘Polite Notice – DO NOT PARK IN THE FIELD’ and above is another sign which says ‘SHEEP IN FIELD’.
One black Mercedes appears to have been drenched in the manure mixture, while other fuming owners can be seen assessing the damage.
Parking in the beauty spot has been a long-standing issue, with further pressure piled on during the bank holiday and summer periods.
Cumbria Police had previously warned visitors to the national park to park vehicles in an ‘appropriate place’ which follows the ‘highway code’.
Dylan Wakley, 25, recorded the video at 3.20pm as he was driving through the area to Buttermere with his partner Emma Hudson, 24.
The farmer, from Lyme Regis, Dorset, who was also on holiday at the time, said he has no sympathy for the car owners.

The cars parked on the field were drenched in the manure mixture. Vehicles were later seen in the nearby town of Ambleside queuing at a car wash
He said: ‘I can’t blame the farmer really. These motorists have ignored the sign and gone out of their way to park on the field, so fair enough.
‘Any farmer who has dealt with tourists has dreamed of doing this. I say poor farmer for having to put up with them.
‘Imagine coming back from a long walk to find your car covered in slurry, horrid. But it is their own fault.
‘It acts as a good deterrent and is justice, really.’
