THOUSANDS of people helped raise a mountain of cash for charity by taking part in Wirral’s 29th Coastal Walk on Sunday.

Around 3,000 took part in the event, which followed a 15-mile path through Hoylake, West Kirby and Caldy, finishing at Thurstaston Country Park.

Organisers posted on Facebook: "What a fantastic turnout today we estimate that 3,000 people walked for their chosen charity or good cause thank you to everyone."

With the full support of members, the first 'Charity Walk' got under way in the autumn of 1986. Around 300 people took part the following year and it has gone from strength-to-strength.

The walk formed part of the month-long Wirral Walking Festival featuring more than 100 walks catering for all ages and abilities.
