Last year's walk in Chester
At the stroke of Midnight the walkers headed off up Nunn’s Road, through Curzon Park to Handbridge. There were so many ladies crossing the Dee Suspension Bridge that it began to sway which all added to the fun. Some walkers also paused for a reflective moment and released their balloons in memory of Mums, Nanas, Sisters and Dads. Cars beeped their horns as they saw the groups of ladies and girls pass the amphitheatre and along the canal towpath to the half-way point. Here much appreciated refreshments, courtesy of Francis Thomas were served.
Walkers then continued past the Cathedral and through the city centre where they were met with local revellers giving words of encouragement and the occasional donation. The final stage of the route took them along the city walls and back to the Racecourse. One walker said to her daughter: “See, aren’t you glad you did that for your Nana, she would be so proud of you if she were here”.
Groups of friends, families and walkers on their own were all greeted with a medal of achievement, goody bag courtesy of Elemis and a welcome bacon bap from Heathcotes.
