Drivers are being warned to stay safe ahead of wintry conditions after a large car meet gathered at a popular mountain pass.

Cumbria Police attended the gathering on Sunday at about 13:20 GMT at the peak of Hartside Pass in Alston, Cumbria, following concerns about dangerous driving including handbrake turns on corners.

The pass, which tops out at 1,904ft (580m), is used by many drivers travelling from Northumberland to Cumbria and is popular thanks to its views and tight bends.

Northumberland County Council’s cabinet member for public safety, councillor Gordon Stewart, said despite it being a popular route, drivers needed to take care.
