Publisher's Synopsis

People have walked across the sands of Morecambe bay for hundreds of years. Although this was once a major route before the railway came along, people cross today for fun, or to raise money for Charity. It will be forty years this autumn since Cedric Robinson was appointed to the unique position as the Queen's Guide to Morecambe Sands. He is the 25th person to hold this position since 1536. During his time as guide, the Cross Bay Walk has become internationally famous, with many thousands each year joining him as he leads them safely across this treacherous yet fascinating landscape. By popular demand, and following the success of his previous best-sellers, Sand Walker and Sand Pilot of Morecambe Bay, Cedric has put pen to paper once again. Subjects covered include - The walk/How it all began/Memories of the first walk/How it has grown/History of the sands crossing/A typical crossing/Frequently asked questions/The famous who have done the walk/Funds for charities/Memories and letters/The rescue and much more. This book is sure to appeal to anyone who has done the walk or who has an interest in this beautiful part of North Lancashire and South Lakeland.
