Seems to be fizzling out now I think. In 1991, I walked, got some money & a Million Dollar Man figure, I thought the premise of it was great. Lots of 50p's in my two part, screw on/off, round the neck, money collector thing and a figure that did the million dollarr bear hug.

Today, I walked, no 50p, no quids, nothing. But I did get a Million Dollar Moran figure. It's ace, it stands up straight, next to my other figures, just amongst them like you wouldn't know it was there. It comes with a cheque book & pen.

Stocky Heath Walking Day shats all over the Warrington one.

I was born on Warrington Walking Day 1983, I got my photo in The Warrington Guardian when I walked in 1988 when I was 5.

Walked until I was 15 and then stopped going church so stopped doing it. It used to be great with lots of people walking, so many bands and the streets lined with people watching.

The walking used to go on till after 12 but my sister said it was over for 10:30 last year.

when i was a kid, i used to walk with the scouts, and later did st johns cover when i was a cadet, not the same nowadays i don't think. every one used to get the day off work if i remember rightly and yes my nan used to give me money after, it was great!
