I didn't realise you could get up there. There's some gorgeous lines and repetition in the rooftops and chimneys etc. Only time i've seen it is when I went up in the Eye.

The reason i actually went up there was to try and spot the terrys chocolate factory haha.

So are the public allowed up there or was it a stealth mission? I've just got to get up there.
I'm still amazed how you missed Terrys. Heh. The area me and Grea got in at even has a parking spot. Haha

The tower is open but it was expensive for me, and after paying to get into the bloody place anway i wasnt going to pay another £7 to go up the tower. There was no one around at the bottom so i just wandered up.

There is an old woman at the top though in a hut who was questioning me.

On the way up theres loads of different doors going off into different spires and turrets, different walkways and secret passages and stuff. I went through quite a few of them to get some of the shots i did.

I'd take a torch because some of the passage ways going off into the minster arnt lit...
