Canaletto Tower climb. London
Visited here with Slayaaaa and Archimedes on what was probably the most windy night in a long time. As we were walking up the few stairs we could hear doors banging and what sounded like footsteps, but we soon realised it was the wind blowing the crap out of the place. We stopped on a few of the floors on the way up to check out the view, and then pushed all the way up to the top.
What a view it was once we got up the top, while we were up top we were getting blown around everywhere and could see the crane moving a little, so decided to give that bit a miss. It was nice to see that Crane was local to where I lived as it was from Norfolk and reminded me that I must go and have a play around in their yard soon
And to finish of a perfect night just as we got off the site it started to rain, so we could not timed it more perfectly
