Caravanners may be advised to take extra care when towing this weekend, as high winds are predicted across the north of the country.
The Met Office has put weather warnings for severe gales in place across the north-west and the north-east of England. Parts of Wales and the Scottish Highlands could also be affected.
The weather has already been causing problems in Lancashire, where strong gusts have wreaked havoc on the roads.
According to the Lancashire Telegraph, the M6 was closed southbound in the early hours of Friday February 4th when a caravan was blown over at junction 30.
Towing can be hazardous in high winds, since caravans are high-sided vehicles.
Drivers should slow down in order to reduce the risks, or avoid travelling until weather conditions have eased if this is an option. Once onsite, corner steadies can be used to help keep the caravan stable.
