Beetham Tower and Tower Crane, 13/03/07

[Oxygen Thief]

Visited with Snappel and Reefdog.

The last time I did this one it was a lot shorter, it has recently been raised so what the heck... time to do it again...

Easy climb up the crane, a bit windy on top but nothing to worry about.

View from the top...

Next, we took a walk up to the top of the tower. Interesting ladders at the top, not for the feint hearted...
