Durham - up on the roof



(left: bottom - far left: the top)
We decided to have a day away close to home and what better place than the Unesco world heritage site at Durham. Basically saw all the sights and mingled with the huge crowds of tourists.




We even took the hundreds of steps to the roof of the catherdral which opens out into a amazing view. However, it's an exhausting climb and the staircase is a tiny medievil one that gets tighter the higher you get up. It shows you how my mind works but I wondered out loud what would happen if you somehow got injured at the top how they would get you down. A guy at work told me that when he went up someone had a heart attack and they had to get a helicopter to get him down. luckily we got up and down OK!
