Very impressive. I would imagine that was a bowel loosening climb. Nice:thumb

I don't remember it either ... pretty sure it isn't a lightning conductor. You recall what I said about the state of the towers when we were up there though ... !?

Nice one Skin - but it is a bit of a hair-raiser.

Cool stuff skin! That banding does look more structural than a conductor. :panic

thanks folks - the strapping is indeed lightning conductor Im afraid - did note this visit that part of the roof of the main hall has collapsed at the western end :(

We should all chip in to buy it. I bet they're desperate to get rid of the place.
