WEATHERMAN Paul Hudson was in the region on Saturday to meet husky racers.

The BBC Look North weatherman was getting a preview of the event attended by hundreds of spectators in Dalby Forest, near Pickering, in North Yorkshire, on Saturday and Sunday.

The two-day rally was organised by the Siberian Husky Club of Great Britain, in which 60 teams from across England, Scotland and Wales vied to take the racing honours.

Nicky Spowart, from York, organised the event with her husband, Alistair. She said: "It was very exciting at the start because teams set off quickly."

Winners were presented with prizes from the race's sponsor, Burgess Supadog.
