Rescue team says 'thank you' after successful Easter Monday duck race
A mountain rescue team has said a 'huge thank you' to everyone who was involved with its annual duck race.
Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team's (MRT) annual duck race took place on Monday, April 21, and saw hundreds of yellow rubber ducks race from Glenridding Bridge.
The annual event helps raise money for Patterdale MRT as participants pay £2 to have a duck entered in the race.

Writing on social media, Patterdale MRT said: "Huge thank you to everyone that got involved, buying tickets, coming down to cheer the ducks on, to supporting the team by selling tickets Catstycam - Outdoor Clothing & Equipment, or letting the team sell tickets on their ground Aira Force National Trust.

"Your support allows the team to raise funds so they can continue all they do, and the team loved meeting you all.
"Congratulations to all those with winning ducks."

Not sure what cloth material towels are often made from? Don't worry, because I'm here to help you with extra hints and the answers for today's NYT Mini crossword. The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper's larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays. Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you'll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives. Here are extra hints and the official NYT Mini Crossword clues and answers for Tuesday, June 3: Spoilers lie ahead, so remember to scroll slowly: 1 Across: Usually sold by the dozen in grocery stores 5 Across: All-purpose item for baking 7 Across: Put one foot forward and squat 8 Across: The _____, a show that starred Mr. T and Dirk Benedict 9 Across: Brooklyn Nine-Nine star _____ Crews 1 Down: The same as a D sharp 2 Down: Muscle strengthened by 7 Across 3 Down: They're doomed 4 Down: Sweet, sweet crystals 6 Down: The main character of Ratatouille 1 Across: One of three primary ingredients in sponge cake – EGGS 5 Across: Sponge cake ingredient #2 – FLOUR 7 Across: Lower body exercise with one foot stretched forward and one back – LUNGE 8 Across: First-stringers – A-TEAM 9 Across: Towel cloth material – TERRY 1 Down: Key just above D – E FLAT 2 Down: Butt muscle, informally – GLUTE 3 Down: One who's completely toast – GONER 4 Down: Sponge cake ingredient #3 – SUGAR 6 Down: ___ Martin (brand of cognac) – REMY Completed New York Times Mini crossword for Tuesday, June 3. It took me 1:22 to complete today's NYT Mini. This was a fun one, even if it felt as chaotic as me trying to get anything done i nthe kitchen. I totally forgot what EGGS were, apparently, as I initially thought 1 Across was "salt." I had a lucky semi-educated guess with FLOUR but didn't get the rest of the Across clues on my first pass. E FLAT was the key to unlocking everything, I think, as that made me realize 1 Across had to be EGGS. After that, I was able to get the rest of the Down answers no problem. I'll be back with you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun! Make sure to follow my blog for more coverage of the NYT Mini and other word games, as well as video game news, insights and analysis. It helps me out a lot! Want to chat about the Mini, Connections and other NYT games? Join my Discord community! And be sure to sign up for my newsletter!
