The Tartan March

[Beatonio]

Hello all. The Tartan Marchers, who will be walking from the Norway game all the way back to Hampden for the Macedonia game, need your help. We require somebody to drive our support vehicle through Norway, from the stadium in Oslo to the airport in Stavanger. We will all be walking through Norway between 13th and 27th August, then after a flight from Stavanger to Aberdeen, we walk the final 155 miles between the 29th and 5th September.

We are doing all of this for the two nominated charities of the SFA - The TACC and Scottish Huntingtons Disease Association - and hope to raise ?5000 by the end of the qualifying campaign.

The original driver we had to help out now has other commitments and can't make it, so we're looking for an experienced driver who would be confident enough behind the wheel of a minibus on the continent, and as we're not sure if the vehicle has SatNav, a good navigational sense!

As an incentive for anybody to help out, the TACC and SFA would offer the driver one ticket for each game, vs. Norway and vs. Macedonia.

I understand this is a big ask, financially it's a big sacrifice too - the driver would need to chip in for fuel, food and accommodation - but they would be a massive help and be involved in a very worthy cause. We will also require a driver for the Scotland leg from the 28th/29th to the 5th.

Just for your info, over 22 full days of walking, the 4 marchers will be covering 430 miles. We will be over in Oslo on the 10th August, and will be shaking buckets around the city. If you're heading over, please spare what you can!

We will also be coming through to Inverness on the 29th August for the County game - there is absolutely no way we're missing that! (But we'll take the train! :-P)

If you are interested in driving for us, or know anybody who may be, please let me know either on here, or email donate@tartanmarch.com.

Thanks,
