    Tourism businesses in Cumbria say they're under pressure to make as much money as possible this summer, to see them through the winter.

    Simon Cleasby is an independent agent for Holiday Cottages Cumbria, he said bookings are filling up for the Autumn: " From June onwards we've seen a massive surge in bookings even as far through to October and November.

    "We're already 40% booked for November which is something we wouldn't normally see."

    Dan Visser, from the Langdale Estate, is a non-executive director with Cumbria Tourism, he said: "We need that strong trading throughout the summer to see us through the winter but let's hope this demand stays longer and continues through the winter and then we'll all be fine I'm sure."
