The best time to go is when it's really sunny and the the tides out,then you'd get away with wearing trainees but you have to be very careful on that beach because of the sinking sand,especially when you're trying to make your way out to the sea.
Iron men team in delay call

SUPPORTERS of Antony Gormley's iron men are appealing for a four-month stay of execution for the statues.
The Another Place installation is due to be moved from Crosby beach in October before it is shipped to New York to go on display there.
A £2m campaign was launched earlier this year to keep the 100 iron sculptures at Crosby.
Now Another Place Ltd, the company set up to look at the long-term future for the installation, has applied to Sefton council for a temporary extension to planning consent.
It says the tides and short daylight hours mean the statues cannot be removed at the end of their planning consent on November 28, but must be taken out next month.

Kev, the beach isn't always as muddy as that. Shame you went when it's all sloppy ! If you go at the right time it can be quite pleasant and the sand drier and easier to walk on.
Looks like the Iron Men are covered in Barnacles since I last saw them !
ahh... !

... what a brilliant picture tho'
Councillors are being asked to allow Antony Gormley's beach statues to remain on the Merseyside coast until next spring.
One hundred life-size naked cast iron figures are in place on Crosby beach courtesy of artist Antony Gormley, who also created The Angel of the North.
Called Another Place, the attraction has already been exhibited in Belgium, Norway and Germany.
Sefton Planning Committee will discuss the application on 20 September.
Each statue is a cast of the artist's own body, weighing 650kg (1433lbs) and standing 1.96m tall (6ft 5in).
The figures spread 3km (1.86 miles) along the coastline and 1km out to sea, are partly submerged at different times, depending on changing tides and weather conditions. The statues have temporary planning permission until 30 November but Another Place Ltd - the company set up to keep the statues on the beach - wants them to stay for at least another four months.

Future uncertain for Gormley's iron men
Sep 21 2006
Daily Post
SEFTON'S planning committee was last night unable to reach a decision on whether to grant a four-month stay of execution for Antony Gormley's iron men statues on Crosby beach.
Another Place Ltd, the trust set up to look into the long-term future of the installation, had applied to Sefton council for a temporary extension to planning consent.
It said the tides and short daylight hours meant the 100 life-size statues could not be removed at the end of their temporary planning consent on November 30, but must be taken out at the end of next month.
The company claimed a four-month extension would take it to the spring, when the longer daylight hours would allow safe removal of the work.
It said it would also allow for feasibility studies into whether the statues could remain at the Crosby site, rather than being moved to New York.

So Sefton Council have scrapped any extention for the Antony Gormley installation. Does anyone have a comment to make on
this? Do you agree with the decision to remove Another Place?
We stand to loose out on 600,000 visitors a year so close to C of C !!!
I think it's disgraceful and they should be ashamed of themselvesANTONY
GORMLEY'S internationally-renowned Another Place statues are to be dismantled and removed from Merseyside after a shock council decision last night.
