Well we barely made the bridge climb. We got there sweating like pigs, knackered and unable to breath. We was on the Ferry heading back towards Central Quay, thinking we had left in plenty of time. Little did we know we was on the slowest ferry ever. Eventually we arrived at the quay and we was already a few minutes late. Now we had to run up hill to the bridge climb center. Only problem was we did not know where exactly we needed to be. After some dodgy directions we ended up on the wrong side of the bridge. Anyway, we eventually made it with 30 seconds to go, literally.
We donned out great looking jump suits and got our safety harnesses and head sets and radios all attached and secured. Then made our way out. Sadly you cannot take your own camera up with you. Because people would be stopping all the time or even worse they may drop there camera overboard. Can you imagine.
We went on the express climb. This is an hour shorter than the other climbs, but just as good. I think it gives better views. You walk out along a scary wooden platform to the first steel row and climb up that. Then you have to take some very steeps steps to the summit. Going up was ok. But I knew that going down was going to be horrific. Steve looked like he was going to die at some points. LOL.
Still we made it to the top and the whole group gout our pics taken. We then had to walk across the top. I thought I was not going to make it. It was seriously scary stuff. Luckily we did not hang out there long and we was straight over. But then we had to climb down those really steep stairs. Goowwdd. Still the views from the top were absolutely stunning. The weather was great. It was one of the best experiences ever. I am so glad I did it. It is good to care yourself once in a while.
