The Fell Top Assessors team who took the picture (above) of the summit of Helvellyn say snow and ice remains quite resistant with poor conditions forecast today.

People are being urged to exercise near their homes and not travel long distances while England is in lockdown.

Cumbria Police Assistant Chief Constable Andy Slattery (pictured) says the difference between guidance and law has created a grey area and that a government definition of what is "local" would help, but admits it would be difficult.

He told BBC Look North: "Defining in law what local means is difficult, as it's not as simple as that.

"So if you used local authority boundaries for instance, that has some merit, but somebody might live half a mile from a local authority boundary and their nearest community might be the other side of the boundary, so it's not as simple as don't travel outside your county or don't travel five miles, because why is it five and not five-and-a-half or why isn't it four-and-a-half?

"But the key thing is stay at home, when you do leave stay as local as possible, the key thing is travel as little as possible."

• Covid: What are the lockdown rules across the UK?

A milestone in the roll-out of Covid 19 vaccines in Cumbria is expected to be reached later this week when every area of the county should have a GP providing immunisations.

A handful of Cumbria's GP surgeries began giving jabs four weeks ago, and since then more have joined the programme.

On Thursday, Ulverston and Millom are due to join, pending delivery of the vaccine.

As the roll-out in north Cumbria is already complete, that will mean all of Cumbria's primary care networks - local groups of surgeries - will be giving vaccinations.

The priority remains vaccinating those in care homes and their staff, those aged 80 and over, and health and social care workers.

Covid vaccine: How will the UK jab millions of people?

More than 550 people were spoken to over the weekend and 68 fines were issued over coronavirus guideline breaches, Cumbria Police said.

Cumbria's Assistant Chief Constable Andy Slattery is leading the group which is coordinating the county's response to the pandemic, and told BBC Radio Cumbia the main issue was people form multiple households travelling to the Lake District for exercise.

He said some some people came from Sheffield, Northamptonshire, Newcastle and Bradford.

An open letter from public leaders in Cumbria is urging people to 'stay safe and stay local' during lockdown.

Mr Slattery said: "The virus doesn't spread itself, the virus came here from the South East very quickly because it travels with people moving around the country and the government scientists are very clear that we've got to reduce the number of people travelling around the country and that's why this stay local message is very important."
