Our new website is now LIVE and we’re taking entries for the 56th Across Wales walk which takes place on 7th September 2019
OK so it’s still a bit ‘rough around the edges’ but we’ve finally replaced the old website which stood us in reasonable stead for more than twenty years. Topics such as History and Past Events will be transferred from the old website in due course, so please bear with us. However, if there’s some specific information you need but which you can’t find then please get in touch.
Peter Stevenson
On 1st May we said farewell to our dear friend Peter who passed away on 14th April at the age of 79. Peter was a remarkable man: he completed five doubles, in addition to numerous single crossings, and was loved and respected by everyone. As Stuart Lamb said at Peter’s memorial service:
“No finer gentleman ever walked across Wales.”
In recognition of Peter’s outstanding contribution to this event, the 56th Across Wales Walk will be known as the Peter Stevenson Memorial Across Wales Walk in his honour.
