A TRAVEL book for Morecambe Bay is short listed for three awards by the British Guild of Travel Writers.

Written by award winning author and journalist Lindsay Sutton, the Sands of Time has been praised by critics and is set to receive the honour of ‘Travel Book of the Year’.

Linday said: “We think the judges could see that the book has a real sense of place, and a sense of time and experience, through the eyes of Cedric.

"The judges seem to have been intrigued by the fact that every year, up to 10,000 charity and recreational walkers are led safely across the vast expanses of shifting sands and tidal channels that cut into the 20 square miles of Morecambe Bay."
