Staff at a pub notorious for “snow-ins” say the latest group of stranded visitors had become “friends for life”, after becoming trapped by the weekend’s blizzards.
Twenty-three guests – including a four-year-old child and a dog – along with six staff members, have spent a fourth day hunkered down at Britain’s highest pub, the Tan Hill Inn, after becoming trapped following heavy snow on Saturday night.
Pub manager Nicola Hayes said the group had passed the time at the isolated spot in the Yorkshire Dales playing games, watching movies, singing and dancing.
“It’s like one big family here at the moment: we’ve all swapped numbers, swapped life-stories, we’ve laughed, we’ve cried, it’s been amazing,” she said.
