Once more I know the place well My Brother was a button boy and as such had to stand on top of the mast on ceremonial days regardless of the weather. I on the other hand was an Army Cadet so was only allowed to go up as far as the second cross tree wearing full BD and hobnail boots. Very few of us went up that far most only got as far as the first platform, and even then went through the Land Lubbers Hole instead of going round the outside.
