Try ringing the central contact number on this page for one or getting in touch with them at your local office:
http://www.getwalking.org/get-in-touch/contact-details/ - they probably don't realise the page has stopped working.

It's a campaign that's supposed to run all year so they should have them in stock locally

As others have said, the pedometer you receive seems absolutely fine - it stays on your belt firmly without falling off, unlike some others I've seen. Just check you place it correctly (you should clip it on, do 15 steps to see registers them correctly & then try again if you've not put it in the right place on your waistband).

There's quite a lot you gain on though: free prescriptions, free eye tests, free university tuition - this could add up to tens of thousands over a life time.

Well I am obviously living in the wrong part of Scotland as there are no free prescriptions or free university education offers kicking around here.

There's something up with the form:

Try going to http://www.getwalking.org/get-in-touch/contact-details/ & ringing the phone number at the top for a pack or, failing that, your local office

On checking everyone in Scotland gets free prescriptions next year, but it was announced in 2007, which made me think it had already been implemented.

University tuition fees were introduced in England and Wales in 1997. The Scottish government opposed them and they weren't introduced there, while the costs in England and Wales is now 7 times what it was in 1997. The only Scottish people who've ever paid tuition fees are those studying at non-Scottish universities. Or maybe you think Scottish students don't get free university education because the government don't give them free student accommodation or something.
