Motorcyclists from across West Cumbria will don their leathers in the name of charity on Sunday, April 14.

Whitehaven Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) will hold its annual Easter egg run, beginning in Keswick and touring the area en route to Whitehaven.

The riders will gather behind the Oddfellows Arms in Keswick from 11.30am before setting off at noon.

From there they will visit Mitchells Auction Mart at Cockermouth, where they expect to arrive around 12.30pm, before heading on to Lidl in Maryport for around 1.15pm.

They will then stop at Tesco in Workington around 1.45pm, before heading to their finishing point on Whitehaven Harbour, outside the Old Customs House, for about 2.30pm..

Anne Crayston of the group said: "The weather's looking good so we'll probably have at least 150 motorcycles on the run. Anyone's welcome to join in."

People are invited to donate eggs at any of the riders' stopping placing.

The chocolate treats will be distributed to children's charities, Hospice at Home West Cumbria and Age UK West Cumbria.

The event has been run annually since 1993, with the exception of one year when it was called off due to foot and mouth.

It is one of the group's two major charity events of the year, along with the Christmas two twin ride.
