Report - Shoreham Cement - The Chimney - 21/12/08

[Oxygen Thief]

Well it's been in the pipeline for months, a chance conversation and then the recent activity made me get my backside over there.

I'm not a stranger to heights, adrenaline or fear... but the combination got to me this time and I felt proper sick on the way there.

Anyway, here you go... Shoreham Cement...

from the top of the chimney...

Thanks to Tucker and Coyote for up-to-date access info as well.

This is great. I felt even from the inside of the factory it felt god damp high!
Did you look down the chimney?
Why did you choose to climb inside the ladder?
Did the ladder wobble at all?

I never went above the top of the ladder. I'm not a crazy Russian! It wasn't very big up there anyway.

Inside the ladder... Safer. It's just the right distance to not snag but to give you some support. It's a good first defence to not falling off as well. Always a consideration at that height..

 

[NursePayne]

officially crazy!

 

[JuJu]

nice one, wouldn't catch me up there

 

[:meerkat:]

Haha, oh dear. One day over a beer I'll tell you the story...

 

[norfolkexplorer]

I am quite partial to being safe mate. if you can help to be safe, I am all game for it

Haha, oh dear. One day over a beer I'll tell you the story...

You never know, one day, just one day that may happen
