The walks were organised by the Campaign for National Parks and online protest group 38 Degrees.
Two of England's 10 National Parks are in North Yorkshire.
The government department for the environment, Defra, said it had been asked to find savings but no decisions had been made.
Fiona Howie, of the Campaign for National Parks, said budgets had already been cut by up to 40% in real terms over the past five years.
Defra said: "Despite reductions in Defra's overall budget, we have provided £260m to National Park authorities since 2010.
"Defra, like other unprotected government departments, has been asked to find savings to contribute to the government's commitment to eliminate the deficit.
"That process is underway and no decisions have been made."
A Yorkshire Dales National Park spokesman said "the authority was waiting with trepidation" for news of future cuts next week.
Ms Howie said: "National Parks are national assets. They contain some of England's most breathtaking scenery, rare wildlife and cultural heritage and must be conserved for the benefit of all, both now and in the future.
"There is real concern that Defra will have to make huge cuts to meet the government's £20bn savings plan over the lifetime of this parliament.
"That is why we are calling on the government to stop cutting funding and make sure the authorities have enough money to protect our most iconic landscapes." | Hundreds have marched across the English countryside in protest against government cuts to National Park budgets. | 33946047 |
A militant named as "Abu Musa al-Britani" used a car bomb to target a convoy of Iraqi army and aligned Sunni forces, "killing nearly 30", it said.
However, Iraqi military disputed the claims, saying it believed only the bomber died in the attack.
The group made the claim on its account on the messaging app Telegram.
A picture, claiming to be of the suicide bomber was also released on a social media account linked to the Islamic State group.
The name "Abu-Musa al-Britani" - the kind of name taken by a militant when they go to fight - suggests that the man was British.
IS claimed he attacked the convoy after it had left Ain al-Assad military air base and was heading towards Kubaysah in the north-west of the province.
Earlier on Monday, IS claimed another attack in western Al-Anbar, carried out, it said, by five suicide bombers, including a French, a Turkish and a Jordanian, whose pictures it published.
The BBC's Baghdad bureau said Iraqi military had confirmed three Iraqi soldiers were killed and four others wounded in an attack involving four suicide car bombs in Albu Obaid, north-east of Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, at dawn on Monday.
The Iraqi military's Anbar Operations Command denied claims made by pro-IS sites that 30 Iraqi soldiers were killed in the attacks.
Separately, Iraqi military sources said troops had managed to destroy four suicide car bombs around the town of Hit, and killed more than 30 IS militants.
It is likely the British suicide bomber was killed in these attacks, the sources claimed. | A British suicide bomber has carried out an attack on Iraqi forces in Anbar province, in western Iraq, the so-called Islamic State group has claimed. | 35866221 |
The unexpected setback for Hinkley Point came because the UK government said it wanted to delay its final decision on the project.
It would be the UK's first new nuclear plant in decades.
But Wales' Economy Secretary Ken Skates is concerned about the impact on Wylfa.
He said the UK government has a "responsibility not to damage confidence levels of key developers".
"Any review must not derail the important Wylfa development," he added.
Business Secretary Greg Clark has said the UK government will "consider carefully" the Hinkley Point plans before backing them.
There have been concerns that difficulties with Hinkley Point C's project would affect Wylfa Newydd's ability to attract investors.
Mr Skates said: "Following the UK government's decision to undertake a further review of the Hinkley project I have written to the Secretary of State Greg Clark seeking urgent clarification that this will not impact on the Wylfa Newydd development in North Wales.
"Wylfa Newydd is an important strategic infrastructure project for Wales which will help to create high quality jobs as well as be important to the future of steel in Wales.
"The UK government have an important responsibility not to damage confidence levels of key developers such as Horizon Nuclear Power and their Tier one supply chain to invest in Wales."

Mohamed Chemlal and Drissa Traore both had early chances as the hosts looked to get back to winning ways but neither was able to trouble Gateshead goalkeeper Sam Johnson by finding the target.
The Tynesiders went close through Wesley York's driven cross but that also zipped wide during a tense first half.
After the break it looked like both sides would continue to be frustrated, until Bennett's cross from the right bounced in off the far post in stoppage time.

In July, Leicestershire Police reopened the case into Clifford John Clarke's death, stating advances in forensic science had led to new leads.
Mr Clarke was found stabbed to death in his flat on High Street East, Uppingham, in September 2000.
A police spokesperson said the 27-year-old woman was arrested on Tuesday and was currently in police custody.
Detectives said that shortly after Mr Clarke's death they found three pieces of evidence which they believed were significant to the inquiry.
A small vegetable knife with 'Made in Japan' on the blade and some keys on a chain were found in a drain about a quarter of a mile from Mr Clarke's home, and a shoe print was found in his flat.
Det Ch Insp Neil Castle said: "Even though we have someone arrested, our inquiries aren't over and I would still urge anyone who can help to call police or Crimestoppers.
"Although it has been 12 years since the murder, the results from our appeal have proved that there are people out there that can help us and that it isn't too late to call."

It encourages people to discreetly ask for help by going to the bar and 'Ask for Angela' - a phrase aimed at alerting bar staff to the cry for help so they can help defuse the situation.
The poster also includes a phone number for Lincolnshire Rape Crisis for anyone who needs to talk.
One of the posters was tweeted by IZ (@iizzzzzi ) and has since gone viral and retweeted more than 28,000 times.
It is the work of Lincolnshire County Council and has even caught the attention of Hollywood.
Hayley Child, who came up with the campaign, was amazed when the poster got Ashton Kutcher's approval.
Hayley, who works as the sexual violence and abuse strategy co-ordinator for Lincolnshire, said: "Angela was a play on the word (guardian) Angel. The posters are up in male and female toilets, and provide reassurance there is support available if needed."
Many people have expressed their support for idea and called for it to be rolled out nationwide.
Others had mixed feelings about the 'Ask for Angela' Campaign.

Two contract employees of the Pogo Mine were attacked on Monday while collecting geological samples.
Fatal black bear attacks against humans are very rare, experts say. Around 90% of deaths by bears in Alaska are caused by brown bears or grizzlies.
On Sunday a 16-year-old boy was killed by a 250lb (113kg) black bear while running in a trail race.
Patrick Cooper was competing in the Robert Spurr Memorial Hill Climb near the city of Anchorage, when he was attacked.
Since 1880, only six deaths in the state have been linked to black bears, the Alaska Dispatch News reports.
The victim of the latest attack, which unfolded about 340 miles (550km) north of Anchorage, has not yet been identified.
Another mine employee suffered "non-life-threatening injuries" in the incident, reports the Daily News-Miner.
Employees of the underground mine shot and killed the black bear.
After the attack, 24 other mine workers were recalled to the main camp, the newspaper reports.
"Right now we have more questions than answers. Everyone on site is concerned for those involved," said Pogo Mine general manager Chris Kennedy.
"Our condolences have been shared with our contractor and our hearts go out to the individuals, their colleagues, and their families." | An Alaskan gold miner has died in the second fatal mauling by a black bear in the state in as many days. | 40346011 |
An old oak tree falling into a boulder field was believed to have caused the rocks to slide down onto the trunk road on Thursday.
Motorists have been advised of a 120-mile (193km) diversion.
FCS said it was on track to have the road reopened by the end of the weekend.
Two large rocks fell on to the A82 about two miles (3km) north of Invermoriston at about midday on Thursday.
Alex Macleod, from FCS, said: "Our geotechnical team Geo-rope yesterday completed the operation to break the boulders into smaller, more manageable pieces. However, the road needs to stay closed until the next phase of the operation - to secure and make safe the material on the slope - is completed.
"The challenges presented by the site mean that a helicopter has again had to be brought in to ferry more catch fencing and anchoring materials to the site swiftly this morning and the team is working hard to progress things quickly, and safely.
"There is also now heavy plant on site to break down and remove material that has fallen to the road surface and we anticipate this will be undertaken during the latter phases of the operation."
He added: "The good weather has been a boost to the operation and we are looking to be on track to see the road re-opened at the end of the weekend."

The mountaineer, 64, from Leeds, was trying to reach the summit of Mount Mabel, 7km south of Aoraki (Mount Cook) on the South Island, when he slipped.
After he activated the locator beacon, the UK Coastguard notified rescuers thousands of miles away in New Zealand.
The climber was found in a steep gully at about 22:30 local time on Sunday.
He had slipped in the snow and injured himself on the rocks of Mount Mabel's western peak.
Rescuers were lowered to the mountain's slopes and the man, who has not been identified, was winched aboard a helicopter and flown to Mount Cook village for a medical assessment.
Search and rescue co-ordinator Dave Wilson said: "The helicopter crew have done a great job in reasonably challenging circumstances.

James Farrelly, 52, denies murdering Martin Hamilton, 53, in Mossside Drive, Blackburn, between 16 April and 17 December 2015.
It is alleged that, while acting with others, Mr Farrelly shot Hamilton in the head and inflicted blunt and sharp force injuries to his head.

Ben Smith had completed 284 consecutive marathons in 284 days when he developed an umbilical hernia in Aberdeen.
Mr Smith said: "It's caused a bulging disc which is causing some nerve pain and a curvature in my spine."

Darren February took valuables from a safe at the Holland Park property as Mr Cowell and his family slept.
In an impact statement read at Isleworth Crown Court, the music mogul said he was living in "constant fear" for his family since the break-in.
February, aged 33 and of no fixed address, had denied the charge.
The court heard he had been convicted of 58 offences over two decades, including 37 burglaries.
In his statement, Mr Cowell said he was "very scared of what could have happened to my son if the burglar had gone into his room".
The X Factor supremo said he, his partner and his son's nannies had "become much more anxious over safety issues" since the burglary.
February took jewellery including a ring worth £500,000 from an open safe in the house in December 2015 while a security guard was in the toilet.
The court heard valuables worth as much as £830,000 were still missing.
Judge Martin Edmunds QC said February had an "appalling previous record" and had not shown "any remorse or regret".
He had been on licence for burglary and public order offences at the time he broke into Mr Cowell's home.
Mitigating, Giles Newell told the court the serial burglar had a "difficult childhood" having grown up in care.

David Thompson, 80, from Snargate in Kent, was filmed striking the birds by a coastguard helicopter crew on a training exercise. He injured a third.
He admitted intentionally killing and/or injuring mute swans and was sentenced by magistrates in Canterbury.
The RSPCA said the swans would have suffered and it would not have been a quick death.
A spokesman for the animal charity, which brought the prosecution, said the farmer had "brutally" beaten the swans.
He said the third swan "was nursed back to health... and later released back to the wild".
Dave Grant, an RSPCA inspector, said: "There is no doubt these poor swans would have suffered - they were bashed about the head brutally and repeatedly. It would not have been a quick death.
"When we arrived one of the swans was already dead, and a second barely alive - just raising his head weakly.
"It was so sad."
Thompson, who had pleaded guilty at a previous hearing on 15 November, was also ordered to pay court costs of £470. | A farmer who killed two swans by battering them around the head with his shepherd's crook has been fined £7,500. | 38141349 |
Hector the donkey was dumped outside an animal welfare centre in Luxor, Egypt, and had not walked for four months.
His new foot was made using spare parts of a prosthetic leg donated to Legs4Africa, a Leicestershire-based charity.
It usually donates prosthetics to human amputees in Africa, but Hector is the first animal to be helped.
Tom Williams, the charity's founder, said it was "fantastic to see Hector walking for Christmas".
A donkey in Hector's condition would usually be left to die, or killed humanely.
However, Hector appeared to be happy despite being lame, so Animal Welfare of Luxor (AWOL) decided to help him.
Georgie Hollis, a wound specialist with a background in biomechanics, built the new foot after AWOL contacted equine medicine expert Prof Derek Knottenbelt OBE.
"He's a friend of mine and he's a bit of a legend really, or a leg-end," said Miss Hollis.
"He sent me an email saying 'Georgie, we must be able to do something for this donkey'."
Miss Hollis suspects Hector lost his foot after being tethered by his leg, cutting off the circulation.
"We are trying to save him from being a wonky donkey, which would be the end of it for him really," said Miss Hollis.
"Hector is just one of a lot of donkeys that need lots of help. There are more donkeys used around the world for transport than there are cars."
AWOL fitted the new foot, but Miss Hollis will visit Hector herself in a month or so to fit him with a permanent foot.
"I will cast his leg and make him one that's more permanent, breathable, lightweight and sporty," she said.

Peter Garsden wants the city council to appoint a retired judge or QC to examine abuse claims at three homes, including Broome House in Didsbury.
The government has charged local authorities with the task.
Manchester City Council has pledged to undertake a thorough investigation.
Education Secretary Michael Gove said claims that the former DJ abused children at 21 children's homes and schools in England must be investigated by local authorities. The allegations relate to the 1960s, 70s and 80s.
Mr Garsden, of Abney Garsden in Cheadle Hulme, said it "seems crass" that the council which ran Broome House was being asked to investigate themselves.
"Obviously there is a conflict of interest and that inquiry should be conducted independently by a judge or even an external body such as a different local authority rather than Manchester [City Council] doing the inquiry," said Mr Garsden.
He also cited "past mistakes" when an authority investigated itself, such as North Wales abuse inquiry when concerns about libel and issues raised by the authority's insurers prevented publication of the findings.
Mr Garsden is leading a group action for compensation from the city council for victims of historical sex abuse at three of its children's homes. The cut off date for new claims is 30 May.
The action relates to Rosehill in Northenden; Broome House in Didsbury and Mobberley Boys School in Knutsford.
A spokeswoman for Manchester City Council said the authority "take all allegations of abuse extremely seriously".
"We will do everything we can to investigate as thoroughly as possible in accordance with the process." | The inquiry into allegations of abuse by Jimmy Savile at children's homes in Manchester should be independent of the local authority, said a solicitor representing many of his victims. | 27209767 |

The 350 coins have lain on the Atlantic sea bed off the coast of Florida for the past 300 years.
The coins are from a fleet of 11 Spanish galleons that sank during a hurricane while making the journey from Cuba to Spain.
Treasure hunting is a popular activity in the waters around Florida.
The discovery is the second major find by treasure hunters in recent months. In June, they found about 50 coins worth about $1m.
The 350 coins, which were brought to the surface at the end of July, turned up in just a metre of water close to the shore, buried under the sand.
Under US state law, Florida will keep 20% of value of the find.
The diver who discovered the coins, William Bartlett, declined to say what his cut would be, telling a local newspaper: "I'm just a guy on a boat living the dream."
Brent Brisben, who owns the rights to the wrecked ships, says the find includes nine rare pieces known as "royal eight escudos". Only 20 were known to be in existence before this latest find.
"These royals are perfect specimens of coinage of the time and they were made on royal order for the king of Spain," Mr Brisben said. | Treasure hunters in the US say they have discovered a haul of Spanish gold coins from the 18th century that are worth $4.5m (£2.9m). | 33998010 |

The recent spate of similar incidents could mean carmakers will soon break the record for most recalls in a year.
For power steering issues:
For floor mat issues:
For corrosion issues:
Most of those recalls have come in the wake of a safety scandal at Ford rival General Motors (GM).
GM is accused of failing to report safety defects in some of its cars that could cause the engine to suddenly switch off.
The fault has been linked to at least 13 deaths, although US regulators believe that figure could grow.
In the wake of the disclosures, both carmakers and US regulators have stepped up efforts to recall vehicles once defects are discovered. | US car giant Ford has announced it is recalling a total of 1.4 million vehicles. | 27628484 |
The data listed in the email includes credit card details, social security numbers and tax identification numbers.
Patreon says the email is a scam and the information is false.
The site allows people to make regular donations to artists for projects.
The email, tweeted by cartoonist Steve Streza, says: "Unfortunately, your data was leaked in the recent hacking of the Patreon website, and I now have your information."
It goes on to ask for one bitcoin (£213; $322) in return for not publishing the information online.
There appear to have been three transactions made to the bitcoin wallet given in the email over the weekend, but each is for a tiny fraction of the virtual currency, amounting to just a few pence, according to the Blockchain, a continuing record of every bitcoin transaction made.
About 15GB of data, including names, addresses and donations, was published online in October following the hack attack on Patreon.
At the time, chief executive Jack Conte said card details had not been stolen.
"We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers and no credit card numbers were compromised," he wrote on the company's blog.
"Although accessed, all passwords, social security numbers and tax form information remain safely encrypted with a 2,048-bit RSA key."
Security expert Troy Hunt told the BBC the hack had been made possible by site tests.
"It looks as though the breach has come about by a fundamental yet very common mistake software developers... make - taking a copy of live production data and placing it in another location that lacks the same rigorous security controls," he said.
"Often this is done for testing purposes and is a very dangerous shortcut as we've now seen." | Some members of the crowdfunding website Patreon, which was hacked last month, say they have received emails demanding bitcoin payments in return for the protection of their private data. | 34899705 |
Last year teams carried out 480 rescues - a fall of 10% compared to 2015, but the Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association (LDSMRA) said the figure is too high.
This week its volunteers have been giving out 9,000 copies of Stay Safe on the Cumbrian Fells.
Volunteers are giving out 2,000 more copies over Easter.
They are also leaving copies in tourist offices and shops.
Richard Warren, chairman of LDSMRA, said: "These safety leaflets are primarily targeting those people who perhaps need a little bit of help in preparing themselves for their outings onto the fells, many of whom won't have been high up on a mountain before."
He said the leaflet is a simple, step-by-step guide to remind people what they should do before they set out on the fells - and what to do if they have an accident.
It costs around £500,000 a year to run the county's 12 rescue teams which are funded through voluntary donations. | Thousands of leaflets containing life-saving information are being given out to inexperienced fell walkers. | 39607987 |
That means what is going on? - if your Jamaican Patois is not up to much.
In another somewhat awkward attempt at the local dialect, the US president exclaimed, "greetings massive!"
That also scored a roar of perhaps slightly nervous laughter from the audience, as he made the address on Thursday.
Mr Obama is the first US president to visit Jamaica in more than 30 years.
He is there on a three-day trip, which will also take in Panama, to meet representatives of the 15 countries in the Caribbean Community group to discuss energy and security issues.
As well as a speech there was also a tour of the Bob Marley museum.
To the music of the late reggae star's One Love, Mr Obama was shown around Mr Marley's final home in Kingston, where he lived from 1975 to 1981.
The US president said he was a fan of the singer, and told his guide: "I still have all the albums."
His arrival aboard Air Force One on Wednesday made him the first sitting US president to set foot in Jamaica since Ronald Reagan visited 33 years ago.
He was greeted by Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller and the US Ambassador to Jamaica, Luis Moreno.
Jamaican Patois was a language developed in the 17th century with West African and English influences.
It is also called Jamaican Creole by linguists.

The High Court granted permission for Grainne Close, her partner Shannon Sickles, and Chris and Henry Flanagan-Kane to seek a judicial review.
Ten years ago in Belfast, they became the first same-sex couples in the UK to enter into civil partnerships.
However Northern Ireland is now the only place in the UK and Ireland that has not legalised same-sex marriage.
The Northern Ireland Assembly has debated the issue four times and rejected it each time.
At the High Court in Belfast on Friday, a barrister for Stormont's Department of Finance and Personnel (DFP) argued that a similar case is currently going through the Family Division.
It involves a gay couple who want their marriage in England to be legally recognised in Northern Ireland.
But a lawyer representing Ms Close and the others involved in the judicial review case, said she was seeking to have the legislation completely struck down.
The challenge is based on claims that the ban discriminates against gay and lesbian couples.
The judge ruled that their case had enough merit to proceed to a full hearing, based on submissions already before him.
He said: "Rather than waste everybody's time by pretending otherwise, I propose to grant leave which means the applicant has an arguable case."
The case is due back again before the courts in September. | Two gay couples have taken the first step in a legal challenge to the ban on same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland. | 33285452 |
Joaquin Guzman, the head of the Sinaloa cartel, escaped on 11 July.
The judge said he was looking more deeply into the actions of two prison guards and an officer who had been in the prison's monitoring control centre.
Guzman escaped through a tunnel from his cell to a building outside.
The judge alleged the officer in the monitoring control centre at the time had given conflicting answers to questions.
He said he wanted to look more closely at why the two prison guards had not answered the phone at the time of the escape.
The judge said there was insufficient evidence to jail four other suspects.
It is the second time Guzman has escaped from a top-security prison.
In 2001 he broke out of Puente Grande jail, reportedly hidden in a laundry cart after bribing officials.
He was on the run for 13 years before being re-arrested in February 2014. The capture was seen as a coup for President Enrique Pena Nieto.
His escape is a serious blow to the president, who called it "an affront to the state".
Mr Pena Nieto said he was confident that security forces "have the strength and determination to recapture this criminal".
The authorities are also focusing their investigations on his home state of Sinaloa, from where he ran the cartel of the same name.
While the Sinaloa cartel has lost ground to rival gangs in past years it continues to be one of the most powerful drug trafficking organisations in the world.

Sadie Jenkins, 28, of Newport, attacked them while in a drug-induced trance after prolonged amphetamine abuse.
She was cleared of two counts of attempted murder on the grounds of insanity.
At Cardiff Crown Court on Friday, Miss Jenkins was handed the order, which requires drug testing at least once a week.
Her trial heard Miss Jenkins was psychotic and out of touch with reality when she attacked the children with a 6in (15cm) kitchen knife on 7 May 2014.
After wounding the children, she used the knife on herself and later told doctors: "The voices told me to do it".
In the hours before the attack, she was convinced she been sent a "secret message" via US TV show CSI.
The court heard the children were attacked with a steak knife while Miss Jenkins was "in the grip of a psychosis, induced by your past illegal drug taking".
Mrs Justice Carr described the case as a "tragedy" and said Miss Jenkins would take amphetamines on a daily basis and there was "no excuse" for her drug abuse.
She added: "They [the children] will be physically and emotionally scarred forever.
"Because of your psychosis, you did not know what you were doing was wrong."
The court was told that medical experts said she did not require treatment in hospital and that Miss Jenkins has fully recovered from her psychosis.
"Providing you remain drug-free and mentally stable, you present a low risk of re-offending," said Mrs Justice Carr.
Miss Jenkins has taken several drug tests since her arrest and has tested negative every time. | A woman who slit the throats of two children has been given a two-year supervision order. | 33282683 |

The Imps reached the fourth round for the first time in 41 years thanks to a dramatic injury-time winner by Nathan Arnold at Sincil Bank.
"The players were fantastic. Over 180 minutes we deserved it," Cowley said after the third-round replay victory.
"They went toe-to-toe with Championship players and came out on top."
The Imps, who have won 17 of their 26 league matches this season, are at home against Brighton in the fourth round on Saturday, 28 January.
Cowley said they will need to replicate their "immense" display when they face Championship opposition again.
"We set a new standard and new benchmark and we have to continue to get to that," he said.
"This is about the football club and a group of players who I thought were immense with the way they worked and the energy they played with."
Match-winner Arnold said his telling contribution in front of the BBC Television cameras did not come as a complete surprise.
"My missus said she had a dream that we won 1-0 and I scored the winner and that is gospel," he told BBC Radio Lincolnshire.
"Whether she is psychic or not I'm not sure, but I just happy to get the winner.
"I am happy for the club. We are in such a good place at the moment and the fans are unbelievable.
"We wanted to reward them with a performance first and foremost. We've gone toe-to-toe with a Championship team - it was an unbelievable night at Sincil Bank. We are making this place into a fortress."

Knight alleges Dre was responsible for two attempts on his life.
And he claims Dre agreed to pay him 30% of his earnings for life, including his share of Apple's 2014 $3bn (£2.45bn) purchase of Dre's Beats products.
Dre's lawyers have dismissed the claims, saying he has had no contact with Knight for 20 years.
Knight and Dre were co-founders of Death Row Records.
Knight is currently in jail awaiting trial for murder. He is accused of running over and killing industry colleague Terry Carter in January 2015 in a car park in Los Angeles.
In the case filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Knight said he had been defending himself as another man, filmmaker Cle Sloan, allegedly pulled a gun on him.
Several months earlier, Knight was shot seven times at a Hollywood nightclub in a party thrown by R&B singer Chris Brown.
The case, referring to Dre by his given name, alleges that "Andre Young is responsible for both crimes."
A lawyer for Dre told Rolling Stone: "Given that Dre has had zero interaction with Suge since leaving Death Row Records in 1996, we hope that Suge's lawyer has lots of malicious prosecution insurance."

Jed and Charlotte Case, from Edinburgh, were visiting the Fairy Pools in Glen Brittle earlier this week.
When they returned from their walk they found a note on their car.
Inside was a £10 note and the message: "Here's to a (small) round of drinks, a good time in Skye and a great life together."
A guest at the couple's wedding in Blair Atholl, Perthshire, had written "just married" on the rear bumper of their Fiat in dry-wide marker pen.
The newly-weds later headed to Skye for their honeymoon, with the Fairy Pools being among the sites on the island they visited.
Mr Case said: "We went for a walk and came back to the car where Charlotte noticed something on the windscreen.
"Amazingly, some very kind fairies had noticed our 'just married' sign and left the hand written note with money inside, underneath our windscreen wiper.
"I was blown away to be honest, at first I thought it was a parking ticket.
"I looked around the car park but couldn't see anyone to thank.
"We got back in the car and went for drink in the Old Inn in Carbost."

Found in the Gobi desert and measuring 106cm (42in) long and 77cm wide, it is believed to be of a titanosaurus.
It was discovered in August in a geological layer formed 70 to 90 million years ago.
The print could help scientists understand the dinosaur's social behaviour and walking patterns.
Shinobu Ishigaki, professor of palaeontology at Okayama University, and his team made the discovery in collaboration with the Mongolian Academy of Sciences.
"Firstly, it shows us the posture of the dinosaur- that it has a broad track way. If we continue to excavate more, we'll be able to find out more about how its walking style was like," he told the BBC.
The print formed when the dinosaur walked in what was once soft ground, he said.
The titanosaurs were a diverse group of giant, long-necked herbivores. They are thought to have been more than 30 meters (98ft) long and 20 meters tall.
Three other footprints belonging to different species of dinosaurs were also found at the site.
Prof Shinobu Ishigaki said this might show us "social behaviour, because three other footprints were found walking in the same direction but they don't belong to the same species of animal," he said.
The footprints may also enable researchers to calculate the speed of the dinosaurs' movements. | The discovery of one of the largest ever dinosaur footprints could shed light on the behaviour of the prehistoric animals, researchers said. | 37559499 |

Kermorgant scored twice in seven minutes as Reading won a third successive Championship match after coming back from 2-0 down.
"It wasn't the best of starts, but we kept on going right to the end," the Frenchman told BBC Radio Berkshire.
"We know how we want to play and we've got the plan that we stick to and we all believe that can get us something."
Kermorgant, 35, has scored seven Championship goals so far this season for third-placed Reading and took his tally to three from two games over the Christmas and New Year period with his brace at Ashton Gate.
"Our approach didn't work out for us in the first half and after falling 2-0 behind," the former Charlton and Bournemouth striker added.
"But, after Bristol City started dropping back and giving us more time on the ball, I think we spent pretty much the rest of the game 35 yards out from their goal.

It is the only machine known to have been personally sold by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, from a garage in California in 1976.
Fewer than 50 Apple 1 computers are now believed to be in existence.
Yet despite its rarity, the machine was sold at way below auction house Christie's estimate of $400,000-$600,000.
In October, the Henry Ford organization paid $905,000 for one of the computers.
The original Apple Computer - now referred to as the Apple 1 - was hand-made by Steve Wozniak, an engineer who co-founded Apple, with Jobs, in the 1970s. When new, the machines sold for $666.66.

Joel Cassells and his Great Britain partner Sam Scrimgeour have made the final of the men's lightweight pair.
Peter Chambers and the GB lightweight four are also straight into Sunday's final at Brandenburg in Germany.
Alan Campbell was a distant third in his single sculls heat but recovered to set the fastest time of the day in the repechage to make the semi-finals.
Enniskillen woman Holly Nixon, 22, will take part in the Women's Quadruple Sculls repechage on Saturday morning.
Both Nixon and Campbell are among the British rowers aiming to press their claims for berths at this summer's Rio Olympic Games.
Campbell, representing GB for a 10th successive year, is hoping to secure a place at a fourth Olympic Games.
Campbell and fellow Coleraine rower Peter Chambers were medallists at London 2012.

The Reverend Michael Pfleger told mourners it was "a new low for Chicago" and that the city "has to face itself".
Police believe members of a rival gang lured Tyshawn away from a park near his grandmother's home and shot him.
Officers have called the crime "unfathomable" and are offering rewards for anyone with leads on the suspects.
His small red casket arrived at St Sabina's Church on Chicago's South Side, where the city's mayor, Rahm Emanuel was among those paying their respects.
Police say Tyshawn's death can be attributed to two gangs fighting and retaliating against one another for months.
The Faith Community of St Sabina has raised at least $54,000 (£35,000) in reward money.
Tyshawn's father Pierre Stokes told ABC7 in Chicago his son's death had nothing to do with gang affiliations and is frustrated the police are focusing on him.

A royal commission into child sex abuse is hearing evidence about five decades of complaints at Geelong Grammar.
Prince Charles once spent two terms at the school, although he has no involvement with this commission.
One former student said he was touched on the genitals by a chaplain and then threatened with expulsion when he reported the abuse.
"You're really lucky... we didn't believe you, but [the chaplain] confessed," he said staff told him.
Referred to as BKO by the commission, the witness described the school's Timbertop camp, where Prince Charles spent two terms in 1966, as similar to Lord of the Flies.
In William Golding's novel, a group of schoolboys stranded on an island turn against each other, with deadly consequences.
BKO said the school in Victoria was concerned only with avoiding scandal, rather than stopping the abuse.
Local media report that another former student, described as BKM, told the commission that Geelong Grammar should repay the fees of abuse victims.
"They made my father pay an exceptional amount of money," he said.
"I was sexually abused, and repeatedly and seemingly uncaringly, re-exposed to the situation that allowed the abuse."
In a statement issued last week, the current principal of Geeolong Grammar, Stephen Meek, said the school "absolutely condemns any form of abuse... that has occurred at the school in the past."
"I greatly regret that not all of our students received the care and support to which they were entitled," he added. | Former pupils of elite Australian school have told an inquiry that their abuse claims were ignored for decades. | 34135803 |
Belfast Lord Mayor Arder Carson said his city's event would "send out a powerful message that Belfast is a warm, caring, welcoming" place.
Derry City and Strabane District Council Mayor Elisha McCallion, is leading a "solidarity vigil" in Derry.
David Cameron has said the UK would accept up to 20,000 Syrian refugees over the next five years,
The vigils in Northern Ireland coincide with a number of others in the Republic of Ireland, including those in Dublin, Cork, Letterkenny and Waterford.
The Belfast vigil is being held outside the city hall and will be followed by a special meeting of the council, called to discuss the refugee crisis.
Mr Carson said: "These are real people, it is a humanitarian tragedy, and the untold suffering that they are enduring in the 21st century is almost beyond belief.
"This has been going on for a considerable time but was brought into sharper focus by some of the images that we have all seen in recent days."
Last week, photographs of a three-year-old Syrian boy who drowned trying to cross from Turkey to Greece were published around the world.

The bouncer came in the 22-year-old's first over on day one of a four-day state match against Queensland at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
It is the same venue at which the 25-year-old Hughes was fatally injured.
Abbott was applauded by spectators when he was asked to bowl in the 13th over.
He sent down a bouncer with his fifth ball and ended the day with two wickets for 53 runs for New South Wales, dismissing Nathan Reardon and Ben Cutting as Queensland were bowled out for 268.
The NSW players wore black armbands for the game and also had "PJH 707" stitched onto their shirts, marking the fact that Hughes was the 707th player to represent the state team.
Hughes was struck on the neck by a short-pitched ball from Abbott on 25 November.
The left-hander collapsed on the pitch and died in hospital two days later.
Abbott has received widespread support since the incident, including counselling from governing body Cricket Australia.
Before the game against Queensland, NSW captain Moises Henriques said they were doing all they could to help Abbott through this difficult time.
"From our point of view, we are trying to expel his name from the tragedy a little bit," said Henriques.
"I don't think he was any more at fault than any fast bowler who has ever bowled a bouncer in his career."

Organisers said they had been under pressure from officials in recent days to cancel the festival, which had been due to run until the end of the month.
An attempt to move the venue from a suburb was blocked by local police.
It has been a rare opportunity for independent Chinese film makers to show their work, but is regarded with suspicion by the government.
The annual festival has suffered disruption in the past, including having its electricity supply cut.
The organisers said they had received a series of warnings from officials to cancel the festival - one report said they complied after being briefly detained on Friday.
Security was tight at the venue in the Beijing suburb of Songzhuang, with about two dozen men blocking the area and preventing around 30 film directors and members of the public from entering, the Associated Press (AP) news agency reports.
The men, claiming to be villagers, tried to stop anyone from photographing or filming the scene, AP says.
The Chinese government keeps a tight control on information and the media - and is suspicious of independent films that could contain criticism of the Communist party and its policies, says BBC World Service Asia analyst Charles Scanlon.

Protesters, some wearing face masks and holding black balloons, gathered as temperatures fell below -20C.
Ulaanbaatar, one of the world's coldest capitals, is also one of the most polluted cities in the world, according to the UN children's agency Unicef.
Many residents burn polluting fuels to keep their homes warm.
Some say they cannot afford the alternatives and have asked for state assistance.
One protester's banner read: "Wake up and smell the smog."
It is the second pollution protest during the current Mongolian winter.
In December, Mongolian environment and tourism minister Oyunkhorol Dulamsuren said that, between 2011 and 2015, the government spent more than $37m, plus $47m from international donors, on tackling air pollution.

The Michael Scudamore-trained gelding won the Welsh Grand National in 2013.
But the 10-year-old has not raced since suffering a leg injury when third in the Grand National 18 months ago.
Monbeg Dude will spend his retirement with Tindall and his wife Zara, the Queen's granddaughter and an Olympic silver medallist, at Gatcombe Park.
The Tindalls will provide a permanent home for the horse at the Gloucestershire estate, which is the country residence of the Princess Royal.
Trainer Scudamore admits to some sadness at the retirement.
"There are some mixed feelings," he said.
"In one way, it's sad to retire him but after the good days we had with him and all the great memories he gave us, it's nice to see him go out in one piece and hopefully have a very long and happy retirement.
"He's just got a niggle from the injury he sustained in the Grand National last year and if you gave him more time, he would be fine.
"He's 11, rising 12, now, though, so by the time you got him back, he would be going on 13, which just would not be fair to the horse.
"It's great to see him going to a happy retirement but he will certainly leave a big hole in the yard."
"We've had some great days with him and the thing about him was that he wasn't bred to be a superstar.
"He didn't cost a lot of money but he was a really tough performer."

Some of them had spent three years in chains and had scars inflicted from beatings, officers told local media.
The head of an Islamic school who owned the house in the northern town of Ngaoundere has been arrested.
The arrested man denies any wrongdoing, saying parents willingly sent their children to his "correctional centre".
The Koranic school master is also reported to have married two young girls who were imprisoned in the house.
The military police, known as gendarmes, say all the children are now free and are being given medical help before they being reunited with their families.
The BBC's Randy Joe Sa'ah in the capital, Yaounde, says the raid followed a tip-off given to the gendarmes.
A few adults were amongst the captives, including one man whose relative allegedly wanted to be rid of him because of an inheritance dispute, he says. | Military police have raided a house in Cameroon and freed around 70 children who were being held captive and were suffering from disease and hunger. | 33848526 |
Flt Lt Andrew Townshend was accused of dishonestly claiming the dive was caused by a technical fault.
A court martial heard the Voyager aircraft plummeted 4,400ft (1,341m) over the Black Sea on the flight from RAF Brize Norton to Afghanistan.
The 49-year-old was found not guilty of perjury and making a false record.
But Flt Lt Townshend admitted negligently performing a duty in relation to the Nikon camera colliding with the aircraft's control stick.
A board of RAF officers at Bulford, Wiltshire, heard crew and passengers thought they were going to die during the flight from RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, to Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, on 9 February 2014.
The experienced pilot - who has served with the RAF for 30 years and completed 5,500 flying hours - had been using his camera to photograph other aircraft from the cockpit and had taken 95 shots that day.
He also told the court that he had been viewing the star-filled sky moments before the incident, as he had a passion for star-gazing.
Flt Lt Townshend, from Ruislip, west London, filled in his flight log stating he believed there had been an issue with the autopilot, but said he now accepted his camera must have knocked against it and deactivated it.
He will be sentenced on Friday at the same court. | An RAF pilot accused of causing his plane to nosedive while using a digital camera has been cleared of lying to investigators. | 39118382 |
The ferry MV Coruisk, which operated between Armadale and Mallaig, has been redeployed to the Oban-Mull route.
Islanders have complained that the two smaller replacement ferries have been prone to disruption.
Operator CalMac said it appreciated changes could affect communities and it was monitoring the situation.
Sleat Transport Forum has been campaigning against the redeployment of the MV Coruisk since the move was announced in September last year.
It said the two smaller ferries had to use fixed slipways and not linkspans, as the MV Coruisk had, and as a result have been unable to operate on numerous occasions because of low tides.
CalMac has said it would use the larger MV Lord of the Isles, when was available to do so, but the forum said this arrangement of three ferries had led to the kind of disruption "not seen for many years".
A forum spokesman said people in Sleat were "increasingly concerned at the unreliable and poor quality service now being provided".
It has warned of further disruption to sailings because of tidal conditions later in the year.
The forum will raise the matter with CalMac representatives at a meeting scheduled on Wednesday.
CalMac said extreme spring tides had caused "excessive low or high tides" leading to the cancellation of sailings.
Director of operations, Drew Collier, said: "CalMac appreciate that any changes to service can affect the communities we serve, and we are monitoring this particular service closely."
He added: "In the first two weeks of the summer season we have seen a 42% increase in passengers on the Mallaig-Armadale route on this same two-week period in 2015 and a 53% increase in vehicles.
"This new timetable is carrying more people and more vehicles to Skye on this route than ever before." | Businesses and the community in Sleat in Skye have described the ferry service linking their area with the mainland as "unreliable" and "poor". | 35996322 |
The statue will be positioned between Great Newport Street and Cranbourn Street, Covent Garden.

Westminster Council granted planning permission on Wednesday night.
The memorial will be erected by the end of the year.
Covent Garden was chosen as a location because historically, eight theatres have shown her work in the area, most recently The Mousetrap at St Martin's Theatre.

Officers are treating the death of the man on the M11, south of Bishop's Stortford and near Goose Lane bridge, Essex, as suspicious.
It took place between junctions seven and eight heading northbound, at about 16:50 BST on Wednesday.
The driver, who was in his 60s and from Sible Hedingham, died at the scene.
His Vauxhall Corsa van hit the central reservation barrier before leaving the road and crashing into a tree.
Updates on this story and other Essex news
Essex Police said several lines of inquiry had been ruled out following an investigation, including that the concrete had been thrown from a bridge or the roadside, or that it was falling bridge masonry.
Officers closed the bridge at Goose Lane, which crosses the motorway, to carry out forensic work.
"We continue to keep an open mind as to how it came to strike the windscreen and ended up inside the van, and whether this was the result of a deliberate act or accidental," said Det Ch Insp Martin Pasmore.

The former international hooker says England have improved since their 28-25 loss against Wales in September.
"I think there's more of an edge about them, without doubt," said McBryde.
"They look far more comfortable in expressing themselves."
Asked if Wales would need to improve over their World Cup performance, McBryde replied: "Quite a bit, really."
England are one point clear of Wales at the top of the table with three wins from three games.
The winners of Saturday's encounter will be strong favourites to win the tournament, with Wales coach Warren Gatland having called the game a "cup final."
Both teams are unchanged, with Wales impressing their management in training on Thursday.
"During the session the coaching team looked at each other and said 'we're in a pretty good place at the moment'," added McBryde.
"The fluidity and intensity gives us a lot of confidence.
"We've steadily got better and better as the tournament has gone on and the longer we spent together the better we seem to get."
England and Wales also engaged in a verbal dispute, each saying the other employs illegal scrummaging tactics. | Wales will have to be "quite a bit" better than they were last year's World Cup if they are to beat England at Twickenham, according to forwards coach Robin McBryde. | 35777876 |
The 27-year-old left for Liverpool in 2012 and joined Stoke in July 2016.
Allen joined Stoke for £13m after the Swans' £8m bid was rejected. Swansea are thought to be prepared to pay up to £20m now for the Wales international.
"They made an enquiry, it wasn't a bid... they just asked would we be willing to allow him to leave and we said no," said Stoke boss Mark Hughes.
"I think we have to respect that they came and they did that and because of the answer they got you'd like to think they will respect our position."
Manager Paul Clement has renewed Swansea's interest in the player who rose through their ranks after joining them as a teenager.
Tony Scholes, the Stoke chief executive, told BBC Radio Stoke: "Swansea did inquire, so there is truth in that. I'd rather it didn't get reported, but these things do.
"They did inquire with us and we told them quite firmly that we were just not interested in any kind of sale.
"They [Swansea] made an enquiry, they're a decent club, we told them we're not interested, that should be the end of the matter.
"Joe had a great season with us last year and I'm sure he'll have another great season with us next year."

The colt, an 8-1 chance ridden by Jim Crowley for trainer Martyn Meade, powered clear of Rivet to win by a length and three quarters.
Bookmakers reacted by cutting Eminent to about 10-1 (from 25s) for next month's 2000 Guineas and the Derby at Epsom in June.
"I can hardly speak it is so exciting. He's very special," said Meade.
Listen: 5 live racing podcast - the best of Frankel's offspring
This is the first year Frankel's offspring, as three-year-olds, could potentially line up for Classic races such as the Guineas and Derby.
Frankel, 2000 Guineas winner in 2011, was retired to stud the following year after winning all 14 of his races.
BBC racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
A significant result this a) because of the manner of the performance and b) because of the winner's pedigree.
In September, Eminent won his debut - and only race before now - impressively giving his owner and trainer the chance to dream that their two-year-old was something special.
Here, he demonstrated he quite likely is indeed that, running down a Group One race winner in Rivet in striking style.

Gary Lane, 52, of Fairfax Road in Kidlington, Oxfordshire, attacked the boys between January and November 2015.
He admitted two counts of raping a child under 13, sexually assaulting a child under 13, and causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
Judge Patrick Eccles, sentencing Lane at Oxford Crown Court, described him as an "unscrupulous paedophile".
The boys were not members of any scout group at the time of the offences.
Judge Eccles told Lane: "You are an unscrupulous paedophile who has shown a depraved course of conduct.
"You have shown no sense of remorse... there is something wrong with your sexual thinking."
Rhys Bevan, of Thames Valley Police's child abuse investigation unit, said Lane was "where he belongs".
He added: "What Lane has put the victims and their families and loved-ones through is horrendous.
"Lane failed to turn up for court twice in 2016, fleeing once to Scotland, which caused unnecessary stress for all involved." | A "depraved" former scout leader has been jailed for 16 years for raping two boys aged eight and 10-years-old. | 38933545 |

Sajjad Mesih and his wife Shama, who was pregnant, were killed last year after claims burnt pages of the Koran were found near their mud brick house.
They were attacked and put in the brick kiln where they worked as labourers.
Local media reports that three men had stirred up a crowd of 400.
The charge sheet produced by the Pakistan anti-terrorism court says the accused - three clerics - were involved in persistent provocative speech against the couple, according to local media.
Thirty-two suspects are said still to be at large.
Summonses have also been issued for witnesses to come forward.
Following rumours that burnt pages of the Koran had been found, angry members of the village told the impoverished couple to convert to Islam to repent against their alleged sin, or face the consequences for committing blasphemy.
Witnesses told the BBC when they tried to leave they were locked in a room at the kiln and told they must pay duties first.
The next day hundreds of people converged on the kiln. They were dragged out, attacked with bricks and shovels and later laid on the brick oven to be burnt alive.
The case raised fears among Christians, who form a minority in the Muslim country where blasphemy laws are controversial and attacks against Christians are common.

The Welsh Rugby Union want to take over Newport Gwent Dragons and the ground. They have said they will "call the shots" over tenants County.
"Let's start by keeping them in the Football League then worry about what pitch we play at," said manager Flynn.
County are six points adrift in League Two and face Crawley on Saturday.
The club signed a 10 year lease to play at Rodney Parade in 2013.
Flynn says the continuing speculation over the ground has not affected the players.
"They are a good bunch of lads, they have just been getting on with their jobs, since I have been here. They just get on with things," added Flynn.
"None of us really know. I don't think they (the WRU) have spoken to the board or anybody. That needs to come first because at the end or the day I still think we have a long lease.
"That is something I will let the board, directors and chairman worry about.
"I don't need any added motivation, keeping Newport County in the Football League is the only motivation I need."
The WRU, Newport RFC and Dragons boards have ratified the deal, but it requires 75% support of Newport rugby club's shareholders for the agreement to go ahead.

Assel Al-Essaie, 23, died in hospital after being shot in the chest in Daniel Hill, Walkley on Saturday.
A 22-year-old man is being held on suspicion of murder while the teenager is being detained on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.
A 57-year-old woman has also been arrested on suspicion of assisting offenders. All three are in custody.

Detectives investigating the shooting have appealed for help to trace a three-door silver/grey VW Golf, registration number PJ10 OJU, believed to have been used in the murder.
They are also keen to trace the movements of two Mercedes cars seen in the Daniel Hill area at the time of the shooting - a black C Class car registration number LP66 RUH, and a white C Class, registration number NU15 PZF.
Officers believe Mr Al-Essaie was in the black car at the time of the shooting and was taken to hospital in the other vehicle.

Michael Blyth, of Paignton, Devon, hid his past from the woman and abused her son in 2013, Exeter Crown Court heard.
He was jailed for seven-and-a-half-years for the assault and making indecent photos of children.
Blyth, 60, had already served an eight-year sentence for abusing boys when he was a scoutmaster in Yorkshire.
The court heard he took a job at a seaside caravan park in Torbay and befriended children, offering them sweets and toys.
Police also found 146 indecent images of boys on his computer, including three which showed very serious acts of child abuse.
Judge Erik Salomonsen said: "You are assessed as posing a high risk of further sexual offending against children and are a dangerous offender.
"You broke the terms of the order, were looking at indecent photographs, and went on to commit the sexual assault."
Mr Gareth Evans, defending, said there had been a long gap between Blyth's earlier offending and these cases.

David Cameron said the UK will accept people who are living in refugee camps on the borders of Syria.
Four million people have fled Syria since the conflict started there more than four years ago.
Pressure on the government to allow more refugees to come to the UK has intensified in recent weeks as the migrant crisis in Europe deepens.
Why is there a migrant crisis in Europe?
The Prime Minister did not say how many people he would allow into the UK but the United Nations refugee agency said the UK would take a further 4,000 Syrian refugees.
Cameron said that Britain would act with its "head and heart", and that he was committed to finding a long-term solution to the crisis.

The snake was found by Charles Goff, a resident of Putnam County, in the north-east of the state, on Monday.
A day later, a neighbour, named by a local CBS channel as Ron Reinold, started playing with the snake and made his ill-judged move.

"One boy said, 'I'm going to kiss it in the mouth,' and the snake bit him in the face," Mr Goff told Action News Jax.

The 34 year old said his phone bill was £22 before he went abroad with his fiancée but the next day it had risen to more than £16,000. The bill later rose to more than £17,000 plus VAT.
"It's been worrying and has ruined the holiday to a degree," Mr Owen said.

He will be succeeded by the firm's coal and copper head Jean-Sebastien Jacques, who used to be a strategy director at Tata Steel Group.
The world's second-largest miner has been struggling to maintain profits amid a slump in commodity prices.
Under Mr Walsh, Rio undertook a major cost-cutting programme and dropped its progressive dividend policy.
Shareholders will no longer see payouts maintained or raised each year after the mining giant reported a 50% drop in underlying annual earnings last month.
In a statement, Rio Tinto said the latest announcement was "the culmination of comprehensive and deliberate executive succession process".
"Jean-Sebastien is the right person to lead Rio Tinto in an increasingly complex world filled with both challenges and opportunities for our industry."
Mr Jacques will receive a base salary of £1,080,000 and various bonuses once he takes over on 2 July.
Mr Walsh, a 66-year-old Australian, spent two decades in the car industry before joining Rio Tinto in 1991.
He replaced Tom Albanese as chief executive in 2013 after his predecessor was ousted following expensive and unsuccessful acquisitions in aluminium and coal.
"The board appointed Sam as chief executive at a challenging time for our company and I am very grateful for his tremendous leadership," Rio chairman Jan du Plessis said.
"Against the backdrop of a volatile economic environment, Sam and his team have transformed the business, removing more than $6bn in costs, strengthening the balance sheet and returning more than $13bn to shareholders."

Teresita Sison, 58, of Ladbroke Grove, died when the tree fell as she made her way to work in Kensington Road in October 2014.
The tree had fallen across the road in high winds as the UK was hit by the remnants of Hurricane Gonzalo.
Police prioritised controlling traffic at the time, the inquest heard.
PC Matt Durrant, who was called to the scene on the morning of 21 October 2014, told the Royal Courts of Justice he thought the tree was "in a fixed and stable position" resting on railings.
He said pedestrian safety was considered but, as the pavement was blocked, the five officers present worked to control the flow of traffic on the road rather than taping off the path.
However, CCTV showed several pedestrians walking through the natural archway formed by the tree before it fell further, killing Mrs Sison.
Lukas Rootman, representing the owner of the land where the tree was growing opposite Hyde Park Barracks, suggested PC Durrant could have seen that pedestrians were walking under the tree.
Mr Rootman said the officers had "missed the opportunity to change what you were doing as your attention was elsewhere."
Coroner Shirley Radcliffe previously told the jury Mrs Sison was "killed by the weight of falling masonry" as she walked under the tree at 11:35 BST.
The inquest is expected to last until Wednesday. | Police failed to spot pedestrians walking beneath a fallen tree before it fell further and crushed a housekeeper, an inquest has been told. | 38571991 |

It is the first so-called red line in any post-election negotiations to have been set out by Plaid.
First Minister Carwyn Jones has said proposals for the relief road would be included in Labour's manifesto.
The new £1bn six-lane stretch of motorway - the so-called black route - would run south of Newport.
It would be the biggest infrastructure project carried out by the Welsh government since the start of devolution.
But others, including Plaid, have suggested upgrading an existing stretch of road should be carried out instead at a much lower cost.
On Wednesday the Welsh Conservatives said they would have "diggers in the ground" to build a planned road within 12 months, although they have yet to decide on a specific route.
Ms Wood told BBC Wales' Sunday Politics Wales programme: "I have been very clear since I've been leader of this party that we have to spread wealth and prosperity throughout the nation, and focusing spending on one small corner of the nation is completely unacceptable to Plaid Cymru.
"So we would not support any government that wanted to go ahead with that project." | Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood has ruled out any kind of deal with Labour after the election if the party pushes ahead with plans for an M4 relief road. | 35739610 |
Mrs Foster was elected leader of the DUP in December 2015, following the retirement of Peter Robinson.
The commission imposed the fine because the DUP missed a deadline to notify it of a change in its registered leader.
The independent watchdog oversees elections and regulates political finance in the UK.
The commission confirmed the DUP had paid the £1,000 penalty.
A DUP spokesperson said: "Due to an administrative oversight the required notification was filed late.
"The Electoral Commission have indicated to us that they consider the matter closed."
Mrs Foster's appointment was ratified by the DUP's 90-member executive on 18 December 2015.

The figure is to be placed outside the attraction's Downing Street set, joining world leaders such as Donald Trump and Angela Merkel.
Madame Tussauds says the likeness will be revealed by the end of the year, despite Mrs May being unable to attend a modelling session.
A team of sculptors typically spend 170 hours moulding a waxwork before hair and make-up are applied.

Waxworks of David Cameron, Tony Blair and Winston Churchill sit in storage awaiting a return to the front line, depending on what is happening in the world and what is popular.
Edward Fuller, general manager of Madame Tussauds London, said: "While the prime minister's Brexit strategy may be unclear, we can be sure that her completed figure will bear a striking resemblance to the woman herself when it launches later this year." | Prime Minister Theresa May is to get her own waxwork at Madame Tussauds. | 40887752 |
Bournemouth Borough Council's cabinet agreed to buy property in a bid to save money on bed and breakfast accommodation.
A spokeswoman said the council hoped to make its first acquisitions by the end of the summer.
The authority said it expected to buy about 60 properties over three years at a cost of £10m.
The plan also includes the purchase of more rental properties for the council's own social housing stock.
Housing councillor Robert Lawton said, by owning the properties, the council could ensure they were of "good quality and well managed".
Also, any income generated or increase in property values would come back to the council, he said.
The scheme would be funded using a combination of council funding and a loan. | A council has agreed to set up a private sector landlord company so it can rent directly to homeless people. | 33222055 |

Gatiss was a co-creator of the anarchic BBC Two show, which ended in 2002, alongside Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton.
Speaking on BBC Radio 6 Music he said: "We've talked seriously about doing something, we're not quite sure what it is yet but we'd love to do something."
"I wonder if there is something Brexity in us that we can do," he added.
The League of Gentlemen ran for three series on BBC Two. A 2005 feature film called The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse was also made.
The offbeat show originated as a stage show. Its surreal sketches were set in and around the fictional town of Royston Vasey and the local shop, owned by Edward and his wife Tubbs, would only serve local people.
Gatiss told 6 Music's Radcliffe and Maconie show that people still shout catchphrases from the series at him.
He also expressed surprise at finding the show had acquired a new young fanbase.
"It's very reassuring, and slightly alarming, to realise that the 15-year-olds who ask you about it have come to it from YouTube. They are freshly minted fans," he said.
He also said the Brexit theme idea had come to him when thinking Britain had "become a local country for local people".
The League of Gentlemen earned Gatiss and his colleagues a Bafta Television Award, a Royal Television Society Award and the prestigious Golden Rose of Montreux.
Shearsmith and Pemberton reunited in 2009 to create a similarly dark BBC sitcom, Psychoville, which featured an episode guest-starring Gatiss.
Gatiss also plays Mycroft Holmes in BBC drama Sherlock, which he co-created, and he has written for, and appeared in, Doctor Who.

Ogun Samast, a Turkish ultra-nationalist, was 17 when he carried out the killing in January 2007.
A panel of judges sentenced him to life imprisonment, but commuted the term because he was a minor at the time.
Dink was the editor of a bilingual Turkish-Armenian newspaper, and had been prosecuted and convicted of denigrating "Turkishness".
His offence was describing the mass killing of Armenians by Ottoman forces in the early 20th Century as genocide.
He was shot dead by Samast outside his office in Istanbul.
Several other people are also being tried for conspiracy over Dink's killing.
Dink's lawyer, Fethiye Cetin, said the sentence sent a strong signal.
"Ogun Samast and other suspects were not expecting this sentence. This could ruin their hope of being freed soon," he told Reuters.
"This is very important to deter this sort of crime."
The European Court of Human Rights ruled last year that Turkey had failed to protect Dink, despite being warned that ultra-nationalists were plotting to kill him.
In June, a Turkish court gave two military officers and four other officials jail sentences for failing to act on the intelligence. | The Turkish killer of the ethnic Armenian journalist Hrant Dink has been sentenced to nearly 23 years in prison. | 14282111 |
