This year’s event takes place on Father’s Day, and would make a great family day out.

Some walkers may also want to do it in memory of their father.

This iconic walk takes around four hours to complete – and though the unique terrain of the Bay makes it impossible to guarantee the distance, it is usually about eight miles.

Kat Michaels, CancerCare’s deputy head of fundraising, said: “This is an iconic walk and a real favourite! It’s also really important to our fundraising. Last year’s Cross Bay

walk raised over £18,000 including Gift Aid.

“We need to raise around £1.9 million a year to keep providing our services to people in our area affected by cancer.

"As an independent local charity, every penny raised on the day will make a difference in our community.”
