Speedo Mick passed the halfway mark of his 1,000 mile “epic stomp” this morning as he left the city region to continue his journey south.
The ECHO caught up with Mick, 58, in his trademark blue swimming trunks as he made his way through Brookvale in Runcorn en route for Northwich in mid-Cheshire by the end of the day. Mick said he was “absolutely knackered” but was still smiling and stopped for a selfie request from a fellow Everton fan.
His current walk has already taken in ascents of Ben Nevis, Scafell and Snowdon - enduring punishing temperatures as low as -18°C. The gruelling trek began in John O’Groats, Scotland, on December 29, bound for Land’s End at the other end of the UK in Cornwall covering 15 miles a day.
