TESS PIKE

"On a fine day there is not a more pleasant sea ride in the Kingdom." wrote Thomas West in "Antiquities of Furness" in 1774 Join King's Guide to the Sands, Michael Wilson on this iconic walk across the Sands of Morecambe Bay in aid of the Save Ruskin's View appeal, which has been set up to raise the £1 million needed to fund the works necessary to reopen Church Brow in Kirkby Lonsdale - the footpath above the River Lune that looks out over the iconic view painted by JMW Turner. NOTE: I hope to book for either Saturday 15th or Sunday 16th July, but bookings do not open until early January, so at this stage, I am only asking for expressions of interest. If I am successful in securing one of these dates, I will contact you and ask you to book your place. The walk is usually between 6 and 8 miles. Families and well-behaved dogs are welcome.
