Cedric Robinson MBE, the Queen's Guide, will lead a walk across the bay on Bank Holiday Monday, August 27. The annual sponsored walk will start at 12.15pm from Arnside. The walk is eight miles long, and should take approximately three hours to complete, finishing at Kents Bank. Places are limited to 200. All the money raised from the event will be donated to the hospice.
