    Madd about kilts......

    Here's a photo of me wearing one of my kilts on a fund raising walk for MADD... a group that promotes sober driving. This is in memory of my young niece who was struck and killed by a drunk driver several years ago.



    We're tipping bottled water at a rest stop. I'll be doing the same walk this weekend. I don't think I'll bother with the sporran this year though. I suspect I'll be the only kilt wearer. Hoping for better weather this year.

    Blu, that's a wonderful photo, and a very worthy fund raising event. Kudo's to you for participating. I would agree that the walk would be more comfortable without the sporran. I hope you have excellent weather for this weekend's walk.

    May I suggest a leather sporran belt? It might be more comfortable and less damaging to the kilt on walks or hikes. You can get a fine one at this Xmarks link...

    Good for you Blu. Madd is a great cause. I am doing the Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life all day on Saturday. I haven't decided if I am going to be kilted or not. It may prove awkward on the climbing wall

    Good luck with your walk this weekend!

    Yep, if you bag the chain and get a leather strap you'll be fine. It'd be a shame to leave that fine sporran at home.

    any details of this, I might join you.
    Just realized it's pouring rain in the sunshine right now, weird. Probably not even raining your side of town.

    I believe this is the first photo I have seen of you, Blu. Not what I had pictured in my mind. You don’t look anything like your avatar.

    Yahh... I'm an old fart.... and folicley challenged as of late and I don't wear a helmet most of the time. Although there was a photo of a guy floating around the net for a while that did like my avatar.
