Beautiful day to take a walk out on the sand to ch Beautiful day to take a walk out on the sand to check out the conditions for our bay walks for 2021 

Today Guide Michael was joined by some of his  Mashalls to explore the Marsh and sand from Kents bank and to look at the finishing options  for the end of the walk. 

Michael's words were - ' we are good to go from this side ' 

Let's hope when we get out on Tuesday with the tractor the conditions are just as great.

Did you know...? A guide to the sands of Morecamb Did you know...? 
A guide to the sands of Morecambe Bay used to be known as a 'carter'. One traveler, Edward Baines, wrote this description in 1828:
'The Carter seems a cheerful and pleasant fellow. He wore a rough great-coat and a pair of jack-boots, and was mounted on a good horse, which appeared to have been up to the ribs in water. When we came to him he recommended us to wait till the arrival of the coach, which was nearly a mile distant, as the tide would then be gone further out.'
