July 13th 2021

Thanks for the many queries regarding booking for the AWW. At the moment the situation regarding COVID remains too fluid for us to commit to one or another form of event. However it it hoped that by early- to mid-August things will be clearer and that we will be able to hold some form of event. Our current view is that, most likely, it will be a much slimmed-down event much as we operated in 2020. But, as yet, we cannot make any solid plans. As soon as decisions are taken, this will be published on this webpage and on the AWW Facebook group. Thanks, Stuart

September 11th 2020

To keep within the prevailing COVID regulations, a limited field of 22 entrants took part in the 57th AWW: 16 singlers and 6 doublers. On the whole, the weather was favourable with clear views from Plynlimon. Four of the doublers retired on their return leg – conditions were very wet on their outward leg – but all the single crossers completed. Thanks to all who took part on what was a fantastic day!

August 21st 2020

Qualification requirements reduced from five to three previous successful completions.

Please note that this event is not endorsed by the LDWA.

April 15th 2020

COVID-19: Obviously at the moment we can’t say whether the next event will go ahead, or in what form. As the event involves accommodation at both ends and coach travel then social distancing will be difficult to maintain. However we will be monitoring events and government recommendations closely so please watch this space.

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.
