More than 70 start stage two of the litter-picking pilgrimage, Shore to Shore

More than 70 people started the second stage of Shore to Shore, walking from Prestatyn to Rhyl Harbour, talking, praying and picking up litter.

Shore to Shore is a promenade with a purpose taking place every Monday during the school summer holidays.  It started on Monday 19 July from Talacre and will end on Monday 23 August in Llandudno.

The litter-pick is being supported by churches along the north Wales coast and Keep Wales Tidy/Cadwch Gymru’n Daclus.

The next leg, from Rhyl Harbour to Pensarn, will take place on Monday 2 August, starting at 1pm and is open to everyone. You can find details at https://dioceseofstasaph.org.uk/shore-to-shore/

Shore to Shore is part of a coastal strategy to reinvigorate church-life by the sea in north Wales. Many of the churches are based in large Victorian buildings in need of substantial modernisation. Some of the communities they serve are among the most deprived in Wales and have suffered disproportionately through the Covid pandemic. Shore to Shore has been organised by the Archdeacon of St Asaph and is supported by Church in Wales churches in Prestatyn, Rhyl, Towyn, Pensarn, Abergele, Llanddulas, Colwyn Bay, Rhos on Sea, Craig y Don in Llandudno and Deganwy.

Here’s a gallery of photos from the second stage. There is also a gallery of images from the launch at Talacre, which you can see here.
