“We went up on a day that was quiet and it was good as there was so much space around that we didnt feel rushed. Firstly we were told the outdoor deck was closed due to high winds and being overcast - we decided to do the experience anyway and when we reached the top the views were fantastic! Then we got onto the observation deck which although windy was great - didnt stay out too long as it was very cold but to be expected 6 days before Christmas!”
