The annual Bay Search & Rescue Cross Bay fundraising walk for 2009 will be taking place on 19th July.
Why not join us with your family and friends for a unique day out in the fresh air on Morecambe Bay. Your participation by gaining sponsors to do this will help raise vital funds for the Bay Search and Rescue Team which as an independent charity relies on annual events like this to survive. The team which is made up of volunteers and specialises in quicksand rescue do not get any Government funding and this is our major fundraising event of the year.
The walk will be led by Cedric Robinson, the Queens Official Guide to the Sands and supported by team members from Bay Search and Rescue in their distinctive orange hi-visibility jackets. Some of the team will be walking with you and will be happy to discuss our role on the Bay, and some will follow in our amphibious and all-terrain Hagglund rescue vehicle(s) which you will have an opportunity to look around - and maybe a ride in if all that fresh air proves too much!
We will depart from Arnside promenade and will walk across to Kents Bank Train Station near Grange-over-Sands, arriving a few hours or so later.
The length of the walk varies depending on the route Cedric takes on the day through the channels (and around any quicksand obviously - which is why he is the Queens guide!). Children and anyone comfortable walking for approximately 3 plus hours are welcome. There are usually some channels to wade through so be prepared to get wet to your knees or so. Anyone not happy to wade or who gets tired can always take a ride in the Hagglund. Dogs are more than welcome if kept under control, especially as other dogs will be there too!

Would you like a day out with a difference - a chance to see into the creative world of the artist? Prom Art is uniquely situated in a beautiful setting along the curving promenade of Grange-over-Sands.
Over 90 artists and craftspeople line the prom, rather like an open air theatre. Stalls and gazebos overflow with original paintings, prints, textiles, stained glass, jewellery, patchwork and hundreds of crafts both fascinating and funky.
