  This is the fascinating life story of the Queen's guide to the Sands of Morecambe Bay. This is the eagerly awaited autobiography of the unassuming man who has safely led hundreds of thousands of walkers across the treacherous sands of Morecambe Bay. Holder of the historic title of 'Queen's Guide to the Sands' for almost half a century, Cedric writes compellingly on such themes as: in Flookburgh; the influence of his father - who lived to be a centenarian; fisherfolk and cockling in the Bay; the first cross-Bay walks; guiding the Duke of Edinburgh across the Bay; memorable crossings with Melvyn Bragg, Bill Bryson and Alan Titchmarsh; guide's Farm through the seasons; special awards; and, best and worst times.
