Re: How far did you or your parents walk to save money.

We used to walk fron Riley's Hill in Accrington to Peel Park school....not a long way I hear you say......but I was 7 years old at the time.......and did that until I was 11.

I have walked to Queen's Park Hospital in snowy weather when there was no transport........and home again

I regularly walked to Accrington when on the early turn at David Whiteheads in Rawtenstall.......the bus was at 5.30, my shift started at 6am.........I could just about make it to clock in before I was 'belled'.
So although much of my walking was not to save money.....I have walked my share.
