Caravanners taking to the roads this weekend are being warned to take extra care due to high winds and inclement weather conditions.
Strong winds that have swept the country over the last couple of days are set to continue over the weekend.
The Highways Agency have issued an Amber warning, cautioning high sided vehicles including touring caravans, motorhomes, coaches and articulated lorries.
Motorists should pay particular care and attention on high ground and exposed roads. Visitors to the North of England, notably those travelling across the Pennines should expect strong cross winds.
Winds which reportedly hit storm force 10 last night brought down a number of trees in North Somerset and drivers are being advised to check their routes and, where possible, to delay their journey if travel conditions are poor.
