Description

SPONSORED WALK


Join us for the second Pilgrimage, a remarkable event that follows the River Irwell from its source near Rawtenstall to the City of Salford.

Led by the Reverend Andy Salmon from Sacred Trinity church, this walk, just under 30 miles will begin at dawn and end around tea time. It will not only provide an astonishing view of the landscape, towns and city that the river passes through, it will also be a time for contemplation and consideration. Last year new friendships were formed on the walk too...

The route is divided into sections, with stops, so that people are able to join and leave as suits fitness levels. There will also be support vehicles with refreshments and first aid. Volunteers will be on hand to supervise the walk at all times.

For safety reasons the numbers are limited to 16 people.

Once you've signed up we will ask you to raise money for Henshaws, the oldest charity in Greater Manchester, who support people with visual impairment. People with sight loss will be on the walk.

Join the Pilgrimage Team on Just Giving here. All money raised goes directly to Henshaws via Just Giving.
