Storm Desmond wreaked havoc across Cumbria with floods and destruction. The A591, the main road between Ambleside and Keswick was sliced in two, as large parts of the road were swept away. It is likely to be six months at least before the road is open. This shot shows contractors working to try and reinstate the road.
