Strong winds also added to the problems faced by motorsists.
Gusts of almost 80mph were recorded in the Dales, with the high winds bringing down a number of trees.

The motorhome owner must have more money than sense, is it worth it to put yourselves and your pride and joy at risk never mind the risk to emergency services who go out to risk their lives to rescue narrow minded drivers. Those who do end up in the water and have to be rescued should be sent the bill and this should be mandatory nationwide. And on another note will the insurance company’s pay out for stupidity!
