Steve Taylor (ITN) is at it again.. Not content with taking on a walk from Inverness to Falkirk last season ... Steve and his band of intrepid ICT fans plan a 7 day walk from the Clyde match at Broadwood to Caledonian Stadium for the last day of the season ... all for charity.

Not content with walking 160 miles from Inverness to the last ever game at Brockville last season with a group of ICT fans to celebrate his 50th birthday, (and raising money for the Moray Firth Radio charity trust in the process) he intends to make it 170 miles this year with another 'scenic' walk. This year it will be "Caley Canary" (pictured left) who reaches that milestone ... and punishes himself by taking part again.

This time it is planned to start after the game against Clyde at Broadwood on Saturday 8th May and finish up at the Caledonian Stadium before the final game of the season against St Johnstone on 15th May.

If you were to check the mileage on a map, it comes out at less than 140 miles, but anyone who knows Steve already knows he doesn't do things the easy way. HMII (Highland March 2) as it has already been dubbed will take in as many hills as possible, (Campsies, Sherrifmuir, Dumvatand not to mention such lovely places as Drumochter and the Slochd) and will follow 'old roads' rather than the A9.

This year's proposed route is as follows ....

Sat 8th May Beer in the Broadwood Farm before the game (with MFR buckets to rattle). Walk to Stirling straight after the game (taking the Tak Ma Doon Road over the top of the Campsies). Sun 9th May Stirling to Crieff. Climb over Sherrifmuir and Dumyat (the hill above the Uni). Stay overnight in Crieff. Mon 10th May Crieff to Kenmore. Stay overnight in Pitlochry. Tue 11th May Kenmore to Dalnarardoch Lodge (foot of Drumotcher). Stay overnight at Laggan Bridge. Wed 12th May Walk the pass of Glen Tromie. Stay overnight at Newtonmore. Thu 13th May Drumguish (top end of the Pass) to Aviemore. Stay overnight in Aviemore. Fri 14th May Aviemore to Tomatin. Stay overnight in Carrbridge. Sat 15th May Tomatin to Caledonian Stadium via the Innes Bar.

Expected to arrive at the Hilton roundabout on the Southern Orbital Road at around 12.30pm.

As in HM1, all of the money is going to the MFR Charity Trust headed up by Joyce McKenzie and Lyndsay Thomson. Read more about the Charity Trust by clicking on the link, or send donations by emailing Lyndsay.

Lyndsay commented on Highland March 1 : The fantastic figure raised for the MFR Charity Trust after HM1 was £3075. I have to say that when Steve first estimated that they would raise over £3000 I thought he was being somewhat optimistic but they did it!!

Moray Firth Charity Trust Throughout the year the MFR Charity Trust hold a wide range of events ranging from our thirty-six hour non-stop on air Auction to Giant Car Boot Sales, Bring a £ to Work Day and a Sponsored Fishing Competition and much much more.

Every penny we raise is guaranteed to stay in our broadcast area where we support the smaller, often forgotten but none the less important cases.

We receive about 400 applications each year and our Board of Trustees scrutinise each before deciding where the money goes being very supportive of disabled, disadvantaged and the socially excluded. Many are from needy individuals who benefit from the extra money, for example a family with two autistic children whowould really love to get away for a week in a caravan, a teenage girl who needed new clothing & mum was in prison, or a disabled club who want a trip to the pantomime for their members - things that you and I would take for granted yet they mean so much to many of the groups and individuals we support.
