In past years the walk has been held in the beautiful area of North Wales. Walks have taken in wonderful scenery which on good days includes Snowdonia Mountain, Blackpool Tower, the Lake District and the Clwydian Valley. The event has in the past attracted over 50 people, and raised around £3,000.
The walk has previously been organised in May to take advantage of the good weather, and coincide with the F.A. Cup. After the walk, the crowd gathers in a nice countryside pub to watch a football. The atmosphere and comradeship, not to mention the beer, make this a very pleasant afternoon activity. This generally stretches into evening entertainment, sometimes planned and sometimes not, to round off a great day.
Unfortunately the 2001 event had to be first postponed, and then cancelled, due to the foot-and-mouth crisis. There has been much demand for the event, so we have organised another walk for 2002. The walk has been moved from the hills of North Wales to the equally beautiful but much flatter Wirral peninsula. It has also been shortened to 12 miles so everyone can take part. Once again, it has been organised so that walkers (and spectators) can reflect on their efforts over a drink or two watching the FA Cup final. We sincerely hope you will all join us there.
