The Fleetwood Motor Trawler Site

Lighthouse Walk 2010, Saturday July 10th, 15-45 hrs

This four mile guided walk across the sands at low water, replaces the Wreck Trek.

The walk is on flat sand but there is a little wading through gullies – so old trainers are ideal. Bare feet are not recommended.

The walk is organised and escorted by the Fleetwood Lifeboat crew with the help of Her Majesty’s Coastguard.

We will be assembling on the beach behind the Marine Hall in Fleetwood from 15-45 hrs. Check-in will open at 16-00. The walk will start following a short safety briefing.

The walk is free but may we please suggest that it is in aid of the Lifeboat – so any donations / purchases from the Lifeboat Shop stall will be gratefully received.

Children supervised by adults and dogs on leads are welcome. We expect to be back by about 19-30 hrs.

Check-in can be speeded up by printing the following registration form and handing it in to the marshals on the day.

It is very important that all walkers CHECK IN beforehand and then SIGN OUT afterwards with the marshals.

Speed up your registration by filling in the Walk Registration Form.

If you are able to advertise the walk for us, please print the poster here.

Hello Everyone,

This evening the annual Midsummer Nights Walk to Wyre Light was held by the Fleetwood RNLI. The weather was perfect for the walkers not to hot and not to cold.

The turnout was superb with close to a thousand people walking the sands. Everyone seemed to enjoy the evening of wet muddy fun.

The RNLI also had a Hovercraft waiting at Wyre Light for us all to have a look around and allowed the younger children to climb aboard.

I would like to thank the Fleetwood Lifeboat crew who made this all possible.

You can view images of the evening here.

We also recorded two short video clips from the walk. Part 1, Part 2.

The annual Regatta open to the public.
