Hest Bank Beach Photo

Hest Bank Beach - Lancashire

Assembling at Hest Bank shore for the Cross Bay Walk

Over 100 people ready to set off with the guide for one of the organised walks across Morecambe Bay on Sunday 28 June 1970. We left Hest Bank at 11.30 am, arriving at Grange-over-Sands at 2.00 pm. I have a couple of photos taken en route, but unfortunately cannot locate them with any reliability (GPS was not to arrive for another 25 years or so!). A few of us also walked back, arriving at Hest Bank at 5.10 pm after an hour's break in Grange, about a 17-mile round trip.
