CrossWalk Pilgrimages Lent 2025

Julie & Garth Butcher • March 10, 2025

The CrossWalk initiative mission is to walk in faith together. Praying for peace and acting for peace. 


We are entering Lent and as such we are starting our annual Crosswalks. This year the set dates and times are as follows: 


  • March 23rd

Time and route open to suggestions!


  • March 29th 

Time (set off) 10:30am 

Route - Great Orme walk from Llandudno pier to the summit and back down around the Orme.

Time (set off) 9am

Route - Snowdon Walk from the Llanberis route. 


  • April 12th, 13th

Time 10am (start)

Route 1st day - from St Winefride's to midway

2nd day - from midway to Wrexham Cathedral in time for 7pm Mass on Sunday. 


  • April 18th (Good Friday) 

Time 9am 

Route - from Llandudno pier to Colwyn bay ready for 3pm Mass at St Josephs. 


  • Additionally, we are open to suggestions for other walks, especially since we still have the date of March 23rd available. 


We conduct all necessary risk assessments and obtain permissions as required. We welcome anyone interested in joining us for any segment of the walks. We kindly ask that participants notify us in advance of their intention to participate, allowing us to brief them on any health and safety risks and ensure they are adequately prepared. 


While we strive to support and advise participants regarding potential risks, each individual is responsible for their own actions. As such, all attendees will be required to sign a liability waiver. We do hold the necessary qualifications for these activities. Garth Butcher is certified as a Level 2 Gym Instructor, and I, Julie Butcher, hold a Level 3 Gym Instructor and Personal Trainer certification. Additionally, we are trained in First Aid and have acquired Health & Safety qualifications.


If you have any further questions or suggestions please feel free to share or ask, and I will do my best to provide answers or clarification.
