Wellington Monument,Somerset
First off, this is hardly an epic. It's more in here in case anyone else wants to go and have a poke before it the scaffolding goes or they alarm it etc etc.
Anyone who has driven down the M5 and paid attention to their surroundings may have noticed a small needle on the hill between J25 and J26. That, or read the book 'The M5 Sites Guide' (yes that is actually a thing). Well this is it! It's a very popular site for dog walkers as we soon found out - even when it's pitch black. How Somerset

It used to be possible to get a tour that takes you to the top, naturally, hence I said this is no epic. This was stopped due to safety concerns sadly, however it's just that one better to see it that high externally. Just over a month ago scaff started to climb its way up it:
To the point it was completed and now the monument looks like this:
So time to get @END-PROC into action and get the 8mm out. Proper good laugh this was, just how it used to be.
