Tramper Hire - Sunderland Point, Morecambe Bay

About

Getting outside into nature is vital for our health and happiness but if you struggle with poor health or impaired mobility, this simple pleasure is often no longer an option. We are committed to making the Bay and all its wonderful sites more accessible to more people by growing the number of locations where you can hire a Tramper.

Positioned on the edge of Morecambe Bay between the River Lune and the Irish Sea, Sunderland Point is intriguing and unusual. There are two Tramper-friendly routes (blue and green) which lead you around mudflats, marsh, river and sea where you will be able to spot the spectacular birdlife of the estuary. There is one Tramper available to hire which should be reserved 3 days in advance. Your requested slot will be subject to tide times.

Booking is essential but the Trampers are free to use. Donations, however are welcome to help us cover the costs of running this service. You need to be at least 14 years of age to use a Tramper. We will try our best to meet your booking requirements but please give us as much advance notice as possible to have volunteers available.

You will be greeted at the hire point by a friendly volunteer for a short training session so we can assess your ability to control the vehicle unaided before setting off. This will be more demanding on some routes, so we advise that you check the grade of the route you want to explore.
