Nice idea for a bit of fun, Chris. Shame it hasn't generated much response so far, but well done to Pleiades for the first one.

Okay, I'll have a crack at this challenge then... Here's my bike beside the Somerset monument near Hawkesbury Upton in Gloucestershire. The monument was erected in 1846 to commemorate General Lord Somerset. The tower is approximately 100 feet tall. Until the late 1970s the monument was open to the public and the observation platform could be reached by climbing the spiral staircase of 144 steps. On a clear day the tower gives a view of seven counties. In recent years parts of the structure have fallen into disrepair and it is no longer considered safe for the public to enter.

Personal note: I'd forgotten what a pain it is to have to upload pics to Photobucket before they can be linked here to the forum. Isn't there a better way to upload pics directly onto the forum?
Cheers,
Dave.
