Orion Building - Tower Crane - Birmingham

[Oxygen Thief]

Visited a fecking tall tower crane with Stumpy tonight, opposite the Mailbox in Birmingham. After doing a recce only 2 days ago, we turned up today and it had all changed. Luckily the clowns pocket was a large one.

After a muscle burning climb we got to a platform immediately below the cab, and couldn't go any further...
