Ooops I must have missing sommat Cath, sorry

Is anyone else interested in going on the cross bay walk or would I be all alone if I went?
I could take my car to Kent's Bank station and seat another 3 peeps if anyone is interested

Watch this space....I'll nag the organiser again this week.

K that's cool. I can possibly harass Cedric though lol

[karena]

i am thinking about the walk - heart says yes head says no - i'm a bit worried that i would hold people up - i'm not used to fast pace and with the dodgy knee and all- but then I really fancy doing it.

[PixieAndTheMoon]

I don't think you would hold anyone up Karen

CROSS BAY WALK DETAILS

A 'must do once in your life' experience.

Arnside to Kents Bank
The cross bay walk led by the Queen's guide to the sands Cedric Robinson
wi8ll depart from Arnside (clock at station end of Arnside prom) at 5.00pm on Saturday 24th July.

A donation to local charity of £10 per adult (reduction for children) is payable to me on the day but you need to be registered in advance via me as places are limited. Please let me know via this forum or by pm if you want to take part.

The walk will take about 3 to 3.5 hours

The easiest way to join the walk is to travel from Kents Bank Station to Arnside Station which is only a ten minute journey.
Trains depart from Kents Bank at 12.41, 14.47 and 15.49.
I'll be catching the 15.49.

Kents Bank Station is about a 20 minute walk from the campsite at Allithwaite or a five minute drive. Free on street parking is available.

I recommend sandles as footwear with either shorts/cutoffs or trousers that can be rolled up. Be prepared to get wet to above the knees when crossing channels.

I think that that about covers it. Let me know if you want to join me.

This was put to the vote against the Lincolnshire farm event on the same weekend and, partly due to Mrs Muz not feeling up to walking the Bay, the Lincolnshire event it is for us.
