D Day for Dawn Walk Entries
Anyone hoping to take part in the Dawn Walk on Saturday 16th August must have their entries in by Friday 1st August. So for those who have been toying with the idea of getting up and walking the 9 miles from Aberconwy School and back at the break of day, now is the time to get your skates on and commit!
This is a a women only event .The walk starts at Aberconwy School at 3.45am and follows the scenic route along the estuary and shore to the Hospice. Then there is a break for a bite to eat, and we return the same way. For some the half way point will be enough, and that is fine too. Please join us, we want this event to be a big show of support for the Hospice movement!
