NU0942 : "How am I supposed to get up there?"

"How am I supposed to get up there?"
For those who wish to avoid the petrol fumes and congestion on the causeway, there is an alternative route to Holy Island- the old Pilgrims Way across the sands. Indeed I believe that this was the only route to Holy Island when I first visited in 1960 and cycled over, although it must have been firmer then than it is now. A line of poles marks the dead straight route over the sands, and a refuge (one of two) has been provided for walkers caught by the tide. Unlike the one on the causeway, however, this refuge does not have any modern conveniences like a telephone or a roof, and the ladder is very rudimentary. No doubt if need arose, even the most arthritic would find a way of getting up there!
