Many moons ago (30 years) when working for Nene Elec, I went with a colleague up the staverton mast to change two lamps. He done this about every 6 months.
Harniss all the way up the ladder, but when you got to the actual platform, he had to climb onto the rigging anyway to get to the lamps. I stayed on the platform

Nene Electrical that's a name from the 80's I remember from my apprenticeship electricians talking about working for them. What happened to them?

I'm not sure, after I left the owner re-located to daventry. I believe he wanted to amalgamate all of his business interests to a building he owned in Ross road, but the council had a preservation order for some newts or something similar, so wouldn't let him expand. He got the ump and re-located, that was the story in the day anyway. I believe some years afterwards they were bought out by a much bigger firm.
I don't think they exist now.

Oh that's O.K then.
It doesn't look as far down to the ground when you're above the clouds.

And I'm not sure that Looping over a footpeg is the same as Clipping on.

The clouds would cushion your fall

Ha ha, pulls out his phone and calls the office "you said it was ES you muppet, just you wait till I get down ..."
I've done a little climbing in another life, but I'd never do that one. Ho Lee Heck.
