February 2012 was a fun month...
I had heard that the latest high-rise construction site had been done, and i didn't want to miss this boat!
Finally finding an evening when i could leave work early, when i had the day off the next day (just encase the boys in blue didn't like what i had planned for the evening) i took the two hour drive to London again to meet up with Keitei near the planned objective.
What we found was the most stupidly easy access and crane to climb i had ever seen on a central London construction site, all that was needed to do was run up the 535ft to the cab of the crane without passers by, security or police seeing you!
Before long we were joined up there by a well know base jumper Dan Witchalls, long story short, you guessed it! he jumped off, from our view point it looked like he narrowly missed a passing car on his way down the the ground. Seeing this we thought it would be a good plan to get our shots and get the hell down before the police turned up to see what Dan had been up to.

So we quickly snapped some pictures, vowing to come back another day... Mistake, now anybody trying this one will find it alot harder to get the the roof and impossible to not have a visit from the 50 either way! And its yet another trip i will have to settle with the images i got on the first go!
