Generous motorcyclists collected vital food supplies for charity at an annual ride out.

About 50 bikers supported Whitehaven Motorcycle's Action Group's annual two tin ride on Sunday.

They rode from Keswick, to Cockermouth, Maryport, Workington before heading to Whitehaven.

The kind-hearted bikers collected tins of food for people and pets, which have been distributed to Age UK West Cumbria and the Animal Concern charities.

Anne Crayston of Whitehaven's MAG, said: "It was a good day. There was a good atmosphere and good camaraderie - because everyone was freezing."

She said around 50 bikers took part in the ride, which was slightly less riders than usual, due to the cold and frosty weather.

Everyone rode "safely and considerably", said Anne.

"We collected a car-full of tins which will be split for charity. It's about a couple of hundreds of pounds worth of food."

Anne thanked everyone who donated including Lidl, Electricity North West and Tesco for their donations. Last year, food collected by the motorcycle group was donated to local flood appeals.

Whitehaven Motorcycle Action Group meets on the second and fourth Mondays of every month at the La'al Catholic Club in Egremont, from 7.30pm. Everyone is welcome at the meetings.
