17th March Salisbury Cathedral

About twenty-five of of us undertook to take the challenge to climb up the 330 steps to the top of the the bell tower. Not to the height of the top of the spire standing at 404ft but high enough. It was a bit daunting an undertaking with very narrow steps that seemed to wind round forever. Each time we reached a level we thought this is far as it goes as they don't expect us to go up that but then we saw a group returning so we knew we had to go the same way. Very enjoyable though especially when you came down. We left the those who came by coach and went to the Kings Head and had chips double eggs and gammon bacon with a tea that for both of us came to just over £6 and the tea was a mug full each. Half price as it was after two pm
