THE hardy participants of a decades-old Easter tradition in Hedley-on-the-Hill didn't let the heavy snow put a dampener on the Bank Holiday event.
Monday's Hedley Barrel Race saw seven teams of three compete to beat the clock as they lugged an empty beer keg to a finish line at the Feathers Inn.
Pick up the next edition of the Hexham Courant for full coverage of the event.
