- **Event Name**: Sponsored walk across Morecambe Bay 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 24 May, 2026 at 09:30 am – Sun, 24 May, 2026 at 01:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: We will be walking with Michael Wilson one of the official King's guides to the Kent Estuary on the historic bay walk across the bay from Arnside to Grange.  Although the walk dates back to the era of Henry VIII and the original route was from Hest bank to Kents bank, due to the soft sand at Hest Bank therefore the route is now Arnside to Grange.

The walk will take 3-4 hours covering a distance of 5.5-7.5 miles from Arnside to Grange. Changeable weather and a varying terrain will be encountered.  First and foremost you should be able to walk up to 7.5 miles. Underfoot,  Arnside to the shore includes sand, footpaths, lanes and marshland.  The bulk of the crossing is flat sand often rippled and sometimes covered in water.  Half way across you will navigate the Kent River where you can expect an average depth of up to 2ft (60cm) for a distance of some 50m.  The final leg of the walk is over marsh: this is a clear pathway but may sometimes be slippery. Please ensure that all those under 18 taking part in the walk are supervised by an adult at all times. 

The walk start time is around 9.30 am (TBC due to tidal changes) but you will need to arrive in Arnside before the event to allow time to check in, make your way to the start line and attend the safety briefing.  We will be meeting at the slipway opposite The Albion Pub, Arnside.  As the walk is one way, the best thing to do is to park at Grange over Sands and get the train over to Arnside which takes just over 5 mins.  Northern Trains run Sunday service from Grange-over-Sands leaving at 8.27 am and 9.14 am in time for the walk start time (adult train fare £3.30).  Parking is available near the station at Lindale Road, LA11 6EH and Windermere Road, LA11 6EQ in Grange-over Sands. https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/travel/timetables

Guides Over Sands Guidelines

Please ensure that you are fit to walk and that if you a bringing a dog, they are also able to cope with a 7.5 mile walk across sand.  

Please read the guidance notes below carefully.  Please ensure you bring a drink, snack, suncream, waterproof and wear walking shoes that you can easily remove when walking across the sands.  If bringing a dog, please note you will not be able to let it off led as there are sheep on Grange marsh and you must ensure they are kept under close control.
