Skiers in the Lake District have taken advantage of unseasonal snowfall to head to the slopes for the first time in months.
Covid-19 restrictions forced the 85-year-old Lake District Ski Club to close during the winter.
Snow which started on Tuesday was deep enough by Wednesday to allow the club s tow up Raise, near Helvellyn, to run.
Members were giddy at the unusual sight of snow-covered mountains in May, club president Mike Sweeney said. I haven t seen snow at this time of year before, but I was speaking to some other members who said there was snow in June in 1963, although that was a very unusual year for weather, he said.

A band of snowy showers which gave the north of Scotland a spring covering moved south overnight into Thursday to reach parts of northern England.
These Arctic bursts – along with a chance of hail and thunder – are likely to continue into Friday.
