For over 500 years there have been Sand Pilots, officially appointed to guide people across Morecambe Bay’s dangerous quicksands. Cedric Robinson fished the bay since he was a small boy with his father and he was one of a few remaining fisherman to fish with traditional methods. Sand Pilot is inspired by him and his life and created from field recordings, interviews and collected archive footage from two years of research and time spent on the bay. The work reflects the communities, trades and traditions of this coast and local fisher-people and the deep traditional knowledge rooted in the bay.
Cedric Robinson, a joy to work with and source of infinite knowledge. (1933 - 2021)
