A big thank you to and his assistant for carefully and patiently creating and installing beautiful brand new hardwood window frames in the top room of the lighthouse. See the main photo.
For years the volunteers who look after this old building have been patching up the frames trying to keep out the wet.
Everyone who takes part in the next abseil will be climbing through these new windows on to the balcony - the start of their descent.
Enjoy the view! 😃
