Well thats what you get for listening to the local nutters

I was up there years ago talking to one of the workers and he told me that there was a lift inside for them but I've never even seen inside it for myself.

I'd love a go in one of those cable lift things

There is now a lift installed within the mast. A colleague of mine has been up there, I'll see if he can lend me the pictures.

I've been told there's a lift inside it.... up to the top of the tubular steel bit, They use that cable lift outside for hauling big stuff up it. Was up there when they were converting it to digital and hauling up the transmitter things. It's a separate cable they put up attached to a tractor looking winch machine then travel up in the cage.... looks like a good ride up anyway!

some pics of the construction and from the top for those interested (not my pics.... from a website that has now shut down)

I've also heard there is a lift inside it. A family friend used to work as some kind of insurance assessor, seem to recall he went up it at some stage.
