Yer bastid IM .... there were no need for all that!! Nice to see though. Enjoy thisen! Translation for the uneducated masses... thisen = yourself in a Yorkshire dialect.
I remember going up the spiral staircase around the Laxey Wheel tower when I was last there (1980 or'81 if memory serves). I froze - wasn't going up and certainly wasn't going to turn around and go back down. Up until then, heights hadn't really bothered me. I eventually got to the top and ultimately got myself back down but it was certainly a 'never again' moment. I guess it was the narrow staircase and the flimsy railings that got me going. Probably.
Just back myself. Great week, just one slightly drizzly day. my bike up at the point of Ayr lighthouse.
