Visiting the Broomway: England’s Most Dangerous Pathway 🇬🇧

[@Templeborough]

The Old Ways - Robert Macfarlane? Thanks for taking a look for us anyway!

I think it is arguable that this is the most dangerous path in England. I think Morecambe bay is far more dangerous due to shifting quicksand and the speed of the tide.

[@we_on_a_mission]

They are Often compared but the broomway is usually agreed as the most dangerous for the same reasons as Morecambe but with the added unexploded bombs etc and the number of deaths recorded makes it the most dangerous

[@Templeborough]

Didn't realise it was MOD area. Just thought it was dangerous cos of incoming tides, disorientation etc. More dangerous than Solway Firth, Morecombe Bay ?

[@we_on_a_mission]

They are often compared but the broomway has the additional unexploded bombs and high rate of recorded deaths

[@DavidUKesb]

Extremely dangerous place.

[@we_on_a_mission]

Yeah very! Apparently there is someone called the estuary man who can take you along the path safely

[@DavidUKesb]

@@we_on_a_mission But what happens if he collapses halfway?

[@CRAVE-qc5fp]

I'm guessing a call tho the coast guard! ​@@DavidUKesb

Tom Scott did it years ago.

[@we_on_a_mission]

We have no idea who Tom Scott is ...a Google search will help me I'm sure.

Hundreds of people have drowned over the centuries on the Broomway . it goes to Foulness Island.

[@we_on_a_mission]

One day I will walk it, obviously with the right guide we don't fancy being blown up for drowning!

[@Templeborough]

Is it in the book 'The Old Ways'?

[@we_on_a_mission]

I'm not sure to be honest
