usually im good with heights but my knees were like jelly on the way down! these are huge and as you can see stairway to the top hangs off the structure

great to finally get a colliery done, cant believe i didnt get here late 2008 when i wanted to as said its gone downhill bigtime since then
 
Excellent set of photos Sir!

Good to hear that you finally got to see these Daddys :)

The Winding House is fab -did ya try-out the controls? :mrgreen:

Thanks for sharing.
 
It's good stuff, the view is epic! :) Though I have to agree, I had "Disco legs" when climbing up too!
