Clydeslide

I'm sure you'll all be glad to know I safely completed the Clydeslide a day later than scheduled on Sunday morning. I was supposed to be sliding on Saturday, but the gale force winds meant that it was postponed.

Thanks to everyone who has sponsored me online and in person - I really appreciate it and I will put up a wee roll of honour later on once all the pledges have come in.

In the meantime, I've put up a few photos so you can see how scary it was! I'm working on uploading a video too.

Clydeslide - one week to go!

I've got a week to go now before I do the Clydeslide for Action for Children. I'm looking forward to it, and would like to thank all the friends and colleagues who have sponsored me so far, both online and in person. It's not too late to donate! I intend to list all the nice elected people who have been so generous.

I've not yet received the exact time and place for the slide, but it'll be on Saturday. I'll let you know!

Clydeslide!

My colleague David Turner has persuaded me that hurtling to near-death on a 1000ft zip slide across a river for charity is a great idea, so we will be doing the Clydeslide on the 3rd of October for Action for Children.

I'm not particularly scared of heights, but the Clyde is a) cold and b) deep! Anyway, we both hope to survive without need for a by election.

If you'd like to sponsor me, I've set up a link on justgiving. Thanks!
