Walkers will be trekking across Morecambe Bay sands to raise money for South Lakes Citizens Advice The walk, on Saturday, September 5, at 10.30am will be led by Queens Guide Cedric Robinson MBE. It is around eight miles long and takes approximately three hours, starting at Arnside promenade.

A CAB spokesman said: "This is a major fund-raising event to help your local South Lakes Citizens Advice. Last year we helped 3,000 local residents with free, confidential and impartial advice. There’s growing demand for our help and like other charities we struggle for funding.

"So please do come and walk with us. We think you will have a great experience and lots of fun while at the same time raising funds through sponsorship by family, friends and work colleagues. Registration is just £5 and if you could get friends or colleagues to sponsor you that would be great.

"We are limited to 200 people, so book your place early. Full details are available at www.southlakescab.org.uk or telephone 015394 47185."
