Wirral Coastal Walk

Enjoy a great day out with all the family and show your support for CAFOD on the

Wirral Coastal Walk!

Sunday, 19th May 2013

Starting at approximately 10am, you can choose the number of miles that you walk ranging from 4 – 15 miles, with plenty of opportunities for refreshment breaks and a picnic along the way.

This fantastic coastline starts off with views across the River Mersey to Liverpool and the huge dock complex, passing the small seaside town of New Brighton and on to the beautiful beach lined coast against the Irish Sea. The walk then follows an inland, rural countryside path overlooking the Dee, and ends at Thurstaston Common.

This is the official map of the route to help you decide your start and finish times:

CAFOD SALFORD would like to invite you to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the first Lent Fast Day in a very special way: “An evening of Sacred Song & Light Opera by the world famous Halle Choir“. Celebration is a key to the evening, marking the foresight of the ladies of the National Board of Catholic Women (NBCW)  who organised the very first Fast Day and the commitment of all our CAFOD supporters, who over the last 50 years have generously continued this tradition.

Our venue is St Patrick’s Church, Livesey St, Collyhurst, Manchester, M4 4JF at 7.30pm on the 6th March. St Patrick’s is a very beautiful church on the site of the first Catholic Church built in the city after the Restoration of the Hierarchy. Tickets are available from the CAFOD Salford office on 0161 705 0605 or by credit card on 0207 095 5684. Do join us for this evening fundraising celebration.
