Priest Skear Morecambe Bay

Is that a dog at 0:57? I wonder what it's doing so far from shore.

[@sj460162]

Shows the grand scale of the bay. Is that the area where the cocklers died,?

[@johndoyle4723]

Yes,they died there,it is completely covered at high tide.

@@johndoyle4723 Thanks. Id like to visit there..

[@johndoyle4723]

@@sj460162 Yes it is fun to walk out there, but dangerous and there are channels around it that can be tricky, and of course when the tide comes in,it comes in very fast, which is what caught the Cocklers.
The cockle beds were badly damaged by the pickers,they were stripped bare and have never re-opened.
