Over 30 guests and staff remain stranded at Britain's highest pub, the Tan Hill Inn, after heavy snow blocked access.
Dozens of visitors to Britain's highest pub have been stranded since the weekend, after ignoring Met Office warnings for snow. Over 30 people who made the trek to the world-famous Tan Hill Inn in North Yorkshire, which is 528 metres (1,732 ft) above sea level, are still cut off by the snow today, along with six staff members.

We have three real fires, and obviously we run off a generator so the heating is on ‘constant’ at the moment.” The pub's electric power comes from a generator and there is enough food for about a month - and around two week's worth of beer. The guests stuck inside have kept themselves entertained with cards and board games, with one young boy even keeping energy high with an improvised dance performance to the group he was travelling with. Australian tourists Paul and Naomi Wright were due to be in London by now, watching a West End snow as part of a three-week trip to visit family in the UK. Instead, they are snowed in alongside their relatives and unsure whether they will catch their flight home on Saturda
