Four members of the Red Arrows 'Blues' are training to take part in the 93rd Nijmegen Marches to be held in Holland between the 21st and the 24th of July 09.

 This 100 mile march over four days, caring 10Kgs of dead weight and wearing their military uniform including boots around the historic city of Nijmegen. This will test the 'Blues' team work as well as physical and mental endurance.

To train for this they will be pounding the roads and paths around Scampton and Cyprus in order to be fit enough to complete the challenge and toughen their feet to prevent the inevitable blisters.

The marches were first introduced to the Dutch Military in 1909 to keep them fit after the introduction of motor transport. Over the following years it has developed into a walking festival for military and civilians alike. Last year saw 43,450 people from around the globe register to take part with 34,962 of those crossing the finish line.
