All a bit tame really.

Definitely a cool place to be at the top there. Were they "daredevils" as the piece says though?

They snuck into a building over the turnstiles. AFAICT no-one noticed them and there was no chase or anything. They then take a lift and some stairs, open a door and walk out onto the roof. An easy pootle to the top is about as daredevil as it got. Pretty massive exposure, but really it was like a gently sloping ladder.

I'd place it at about the level of sneaking into someones garden when you're a kid to climb an apple tree and scrump the apples.

Ha! Back in my Techtitube difficult access days when ropes were not fully accepted, I did the 1st ever abseil as a demo out of the top of that pyramidal top in front of my boss and all the H&S honchos .. Still have the pics actually.
Might elaborate in 'Punk' Vol 2.
