Ack! I went to the top of York Minster the other week. Signs warning not to attempt the 275 steps if you suffered from a list of ailments. No mention of don't attempt it if a fat unfit middle-aged bloke who only walks to and from the car each day :bang:
I think we went too fast judging by the fact I stopped for about 30 secs at one point and I had been sat (collapsed?) down for a good couple of minutes once at the top before the Germans behind me popped out.
View was not bad when I eventually got back to my feet. Not sure it was worth the next two days of my knees "remembering" steps. Every time I did more than a few steps my knees would start hurting. I think they were thinking "let's hurt now so he won't do another 270 steps!"
