Our Highland Marchers are preparing for their wee jaunt from Inverness to Mordor but it seems they've lost their maps and compass and are taking the (very) long route.

 

Good luck to them all!

Thanks Steve! We will keep everyone updated on the weeks walk!

All the best guys

Highland March has its own Facebook and Twitter accounts and as Capital said earlier, we'll try and keep people updated with out progress as we go.

First Stage is 15 miles after tomorrows game against Utd, as we set off over the Kessock Bridge and along the Beauly Firth.

Sunday we head out to Cannich and the start of Glen Affric.
Monday is Glen Affric day and finish at Morvich.

Tuesday - Skye, where we aim to raise the HM Standard.
Wednesday - Stromeferry via Plockton

Thursday we head towards Strathcarron along the main road

Friday sees us at Achnasheen before we finally make our way into Strathpeffer on Saturday.

Sunday is a simple 5-mile stint into Dingwall...

Hellllooooooooooo ya.lucky beggars, what an awesome route!

 

Will we be getting a Carrbridgesque photo of Yompa at the Skye bridge? Careful mind, it's a longer drop!

You forgot to mention you lost the Skye Bridge Race earlier. ;)

The Gringos have surprised the troops with a visit out here in Stromeferry. They even brought out tonights scoff - curry!!! Excellent

Today goes down as probably the shortest EVER highland march stage with just 13 miles clocked up.

Tomorrow is planned as approx 15 miles only, but the way we're motoring along, we'll be in Dingwall for Sat lunch time...

We are well on the way now. Stopped just after Achnashellach.

If you get to the sandpit early maybe the seethe will let you have the wendy house for a kip!  On the other hand I'm not sure he has a generous side so you better not chance it,

 

Well done to you all, another feather in your sporrans.

 

Do you know yet where the Euro cup final will be held next season, you might have to go over the Alps ?
