 It has now been over a week since the Highland March's 6th outing came to an end, and what a week it was too! As with Highland Marches before it, we set our aims both personally and for the charites, and got on with the task in hand. Yet another 100% home run, as all 6 that began the week, finished in style!
With Inverness Caledonian Thistle finishing in the bottom half of the table, the SPL fixture computor provided us with a walk from Falkirk to Inverness (149 miles), with both teams planning to finish as high as 7th. These fixtures were set about in reverse some 5 years ago for the inaugural event, yet the new location of the Falkirk Stadium meant a new route was planned!
With HM6 now at a close, we are still working hard behind the scenes to gather the sponsorships owed, to give us a grand total which we anticipate to have smashed our £3,000 target.

Virgin Vie help HM Cause
Money has been contnuing to come in for HighlandMarch.co.uk's chosen charities. With the Virgin Vie Fundraiser - organised by Virgin Vie at home, Kaper Hair and Beauty and HighlandMarch.co.uk - we were able to gain over £400 in one night alone for the final funds total.
www.caleythistleonline.com moderator and HM Web designer, CaleyD, put himself through the pain barrier with a taster into Body Waxing. With a target of £700 for the Job Lot, the monies raised through sponsorship and donations saw him get both his Arms and both his Legs fully waxed.
Admittedly, he belived the experience to be weird, yet not as painful as people had led him to belive, yet hearing such drivel from a grown man who is trying to avoid pain is something to behold.

The Highland March has become a recognised event in the Inverness CT calendar. An event which started 5 years ago and has raised over £12,000 for a variety of causes, is something that not only those taking part enjoy, but fans of the club keep track of.
This years event has seen the largest number of new recruits join for a week of walking, including another female to add to the list, Lady Madonna. She, persuaded by the HM legend 'Chumba', has agreed to attempt this End-to-End walk from Falkirk. No doubt she and the other new recruits - Slater, Dunco (and IHE for thee last few days) - will enjoy this first outing and be proud to be a part of something so significant. Only at the Finish Line will they realise what all the preparations and hard work have been for, and will certainly go home and think - I want to do it next year!
But the Highland March is not just about personal goals and challenges - no no no - it's about working together, raising money for charity, increasing the profile of Sport in the Highlands and showing that not all football fans are hooligans! Highland March 6 is less than a fortnight away. Soon it will be days!

 It's now becoming clearer by the day how much hard work pays off. From the de-breifing of Highland March 5, through the planning of this years event, we have come a long way from the days where MFR did most of the 'leg work' for us. We have even, for the first year ever, secured a Fundraiser outside the 'Main Event', and indeed gained the potential to raise more money than in previous ventures.
The General, although already doing more than his fair amount of work for the Highland March, has put himself forward to endure the worst of all pains - Body Waxing...
