Worcester Cathedral Tower: Monday 30th August, 2010.

1) The first 109 steps have been negotiated and we are now above the Vault which was constructed in 1376 (it says here).
2) I thought the first 109 steps were bad. The second 126 steps, within the tower itself, were even steeper and narrower. Luckily there's a one-way system so one can stop and catch one's breath. This is the view west over the cricket ground where Worcestershire are in the process of thrashing Hampshire in a 40-over match.
3) The view south along the Severn to the new footbridge we walked over the other weekend. See? We told you it wasn't 'just outside' the city centre.

4) Looking south-east over the Commandery with Fort Royal Park beyond.
5) The view north along the River, past the racecourse, and our walk home. No wonder we're so fit (cough, pant).

6) Vicky (look closely). Right, it's time to go back down. Can't be as bad as getting up here can it?
