Crossing Morecambe Bay - A Marker

The guides mark safe areas by sticking laurel branches in the sand. These are known as "brobs". Walkers are encouraged to spread out, using a wide track. If the sand is walked upon frequently in a short time by people in single file it fluidizes, creating dangerous quicksand.
