Just a few photos from a trip we took to Ganges a couple of weeks ago with the intention of seeing a few bits we hadnt had time to do last time, Signal School, Nelson hall etc.
With the light starting to fade we decided to have a go at getting up the mast - the climb was less challenging than i had expected with the exception of a small complication caused by the fact that a security bod was in the building oppisite.
theres some interesting photos & history of the mast at: http://www.hmsgangesassoc.org/mast.html

Looking up at the join between the steel lower mast and wooden topmast:
