The Shotton Walkers are once again lacing up their boots once again for a remarkable journey of endurance and generosity.
On Saturday, August 23rd, they will embark on a 40-mile trek from the coastal beauty of Llandudno to the welcoming doors of Hendy’s Pub in Deeside, a 16-hour challenge that embodies their unbreakable commitment to raising funds for charity.
With each step, this tight-knit crew channels their camaraderie and grit into making a difference, continuing a legacy of long-distance walks that have captured hearts and transformed lives.
Reflecting on their past, the Walkers’ 2021 adventure remains a towering achievement. Over multiple days, they conquered a 160-mile route from Shotton Colliery in County Durham to Shotton in Wales, raising an impressive £15,000 for causes like the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) and the Not Forgotten Association.
This epic journey, marked by blistered feet and boundless determination, showcased their ability to turn physical challenges into powerful support for mental health and veterans’ welfare. The success of that walk, both in funds raised and community spirit fostered, continues to inspire the group as they prepare for their latest endeavor.
This year’s 40-mile walk promises to be another testament to the Walkers’ passion for giving back. Starting in Llandudno’s scenic seaside and ending at the community hub of Hendy’s Pub, the route symbolizes a bridge between picturesque landscapes and meaningful impact.
As they gear up for August 23rd, the Shotton Walkers invite supporters to join them—whether by cheering along the route or contributing to their charitable mission. With every mile, they prove that a group of ordinary lads can achieve extraordinary things, one step at a time.
What can you do?
Once again, the walk is for charity and the lads would be delighted if you could once again find it in your hearts to donate anything to the cause. Any amount is appreciated. To donate, simply follow this link.
