We’re inviting you to take part in the Morecambe Bay walk and to raise funds for the MS Therapy Centre NW. This is your opportunity to take part in the iconic cross Bay walk led by the award winning Michael Wilson, Kings Guide to the Kent estuary. Michael is a local fisherman from Flookburgh, as were his ancestors before him. He understands the movements of the channels in Morecambe Bay, where he has lived all his life. This walk will be meticulously planned and Michael will read the route using markers placed before the big day. People have walked across the sands of Morecambe Bay for hundreds of years. Before the arrival of the railway it was the main route to and from the Furness peninsula.
The walk is internationally known and varies depending on the route taken on the day. It starts at the pretty and picturesque promenade of Arnside and takes approximately 3-4 hours. The route affords plenty of panoramic views of the surrounding Lakeland Hills and those of Lancashire and Yorkshire. The walk covers 6–9 miles with the first 1.5 miles along the beach covering rocky ground, path and roads and then moves onto the sands at White Creek. During the walk you will cross the River Kent channel and you will get wet! The walk ends at Grange Promenade, Grange over Sands.
Family, friends, children, dogs (on a short lead not an extending one please) and groups are all welcome.
