Thats a brave woman right there and did it in front of the camera with a smile and composed, I would have walked away after looking out the window. Fair play 👏👏👏👏
The people who do this kind of work are a different breed. Don't know if I could do this even watching it on here I get tingling in my feet running up through my legs and tummy. It's unnerving stuff.
I had the good fortune to visit this cathedral in 1983. I was so impressed with the condition of this gothic masterpiece. Therebvn is an interesting story about the spire was after it was added in about 1330 or 70 years after the cathedral was finished. They didn't consider that adding the 6000 ton spire was more then the cathedral was designed for and the main stone supports under the spire began to literally bow inwards. Nothing was done until the late 1600's when the architect who designed St Pauls cathedral, (Christopher Wren) in London redesigned metal trusses to keep the stone supports from bowing further.
Ahh the days when John Noakes climbed Nelson’s column without a safety harness.... and the great Fred Dibnah.... All credit to the girl.... many couldn’t do that..
I would absolutely love to do that! I've done the standard tower tour, but not right up to the top. I am a rock climber, that top section looks easy but very exposed. I have done the ao nang tower in thailand, it has some very exposed bits too. You feel like it's all just going to fall, but of course it isn't.
Makes me sick watching it. Good job Helen and so glad things have moved on since John climbed nelsons column, but even with the harness that is scary and still doesn’t look safe
