    Fun Run

    Not a celtic event, but today i had an idea to make it one.
    Each year our city hosts "Burnie 10" a 10km run attended by thousands of people. Runners come from all over the world to attend.

    I'm not a runner, but many walk the distance, some do it even in wheelchairs, it's a family fun day for most - a serious competition for some.

    One thing I am sure of, no one has done it in a kilt before. So I plan to get a group to walk the event in kilts.
    What a wonderful promotion it will be for kilts!

    Just goes to show, kiltwearing opens up all kinds of possibilities preveiously not considered!

    Also, Dave, I'm not sure if I have welcomed you to the forum, I know you've posted a bit here already but I home you like it here.

    Xmarks is the best place I know to share our common love of kilts, it's a no-nonsense place with some very friendly people here.

    Sorry Bear (another post from me), I missed your point there - I'm a bit thick

    Hi Graham,
    Yes you did welcome me to the forum some time ago. In fact if I remember it correctly we were both born in Portsmouth. I currently live in Hayling Island but actually work in Stevenage. I'm self emoployed and travel all over the place to work.

    Regards

    Dave W.

    P.S. I usually see Hamish once or more a month.

    That's right Dave, you have a good memory. Hayling Island was where my family used to go for holidays, they were big travellers

    Graham, I see that your age is becoming a hinderance to your mind Good thing that Dave set you straight. Glad to hear that you are organizing a kilt walk. It seems that you are getting more than your 15 minutes of fame with your kilt wearing, way to go.
