Here's to the next One Hundred . . .

Today is a landmark day for The Kiltwalk as it's our 100th Blipfoto Journal . . . which means we've written 99 stories to match 99 pictures in just over a year and what a year of stories it's been.

99 stories which have had 33,562 views. There have been stories filled with sadness, stories describing unbelievable fortitude and hopefully stories that have brought the odd laugh or smile along the way.

We hope that if you're a regular here then you enjoy our stories and that perhaps they have motivated some of you to take part in a Kiltwalk.

With today being a landmark blip then I thought it deserved a landmark picture and no, I don't mean me. I mean that big building in the background, aye the big pointy one.

The picture was taken from 'Top of the Rock' i.e. the Rockefeller Centre in downtown NYC and is one of my favourite views from, well anywhere so I was determined to have my picture taken in my Kiltwalk t-shirt. Now for the avoidance of doubt the sun that was high in the sky didn't do anything to raise the temperature as it was Baltic and the locals and tourists must have thought I was one step short of a Kiltwalk to get rid of the hat, gloves, jacket and jumper to then ponce around for my photo shoot.

So I've thrown down a challenge to you all. Get your Kiltwalk kit on and go and get your photies taken somewhere remarkable.

Here's to the next 100 stories that will take us through 2013, a year where I hope we end it with blipfoto stories that tell how we "raised a million for Scotland's Children"
