After The Stormont Mile
Just to say thank you to all the MLAs who turned out for our Sport Relief stroll up Prince of Wales Avenue. The elements were kind to us, even though it had been pouring down shortly before we began.

He would have come last.
I noticed that almost all the MLA's had their staff drive them down to the bottom of the hill just so they could walk back up. Kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it.
Some of us walked down with our staff and walked/jogged back up....
