On Sunday, 20th April we will be Walking the Planks of Llandudno Pier and hope that you will join us in this sponsored walk with a difference.
Everyone taking part will walk 5 miles on this historic landmark, and hopefully amongst the participants there will be many pirates!
The walk will begin at the Happy Valley Gates (next to Paddy’s Bait and Tackle Shop). Each walker will be issued with a special card which will be hole punched on the completion of each circuit, therefore making it easy to keep a tally on the distance covered. For those who wish to take a break during the course of the walk (approx. 2 hours), the café at the end of the pier will be open for business. Alternatively why not bring a picnic. This is not so much an endurance test as a good day out for the family!
For further details or an information pack please contact Beth or Marie on 01492 879058
