Details for Cedric Robinson's well-known Cross Bay
walk across the Kent Estuary are shown below and on
the 2010 Cross Bay
Walks page.
Less well-known, but
equally thrilling, are the other
island walks
and the exciting opportunity
to be part of
Eve Wright's
Walking Drawings
too.

What about transport, parking & trains?
In general, we like to
encourage walkers for the Kent Estuary Walk to share cars and/or travel by
train. Ideally to park in Grange and take the
train across to Arnside. You should get
more details from your organiser.
What do I wear (on my feet)?
Expect to get your feet and lower legs wet when you
cross the Kent Channel. How deep it is depends
on how much rain there has been in the last few
days. (The Kent is the fastest flowing river
in England - rising in Kentdale in the eastern Lake
District and racing down through Kendal to Morecambe
Bay; it reacts very fast to storms and dry periods).
Most people wear shorts or loose trousers that can
be rolled up. Footwear will get wet, some
people prefer old trainers; some people take their
shoes off altogether on the sand; some people wear
crocs or open sandals. We don't
encourage wellies.
It can be a good idea to leave a change of gear in
your car, and/or bring a bottle of water and
towel to wash muddy feet.
Remember sunscreen, a hat and a drink if it is hot
and bright; warm layers and a wind-proof if it is
blowing.
