On google maps, if you see the route, switch to walking mode and make sure it follows the same route, you can see the change in elevation on the route

I just went up to the top yesterday. I suffer from vertigo so it was pretty scary for me. When I got to the top there was a couple ahead of me and it was impossible for them to get past me to come back down so I'm truth I was a few steps from the top but that was good enough for me, I was eager to get off the thing. Like you I just didn't trust the structure - especially in the strong winds.

I was holding my breath the whole time you were climbing the tower. I can’t believe once you got to the top you stayed up there that long. I would’ve made a quick way down if I would’ve even walked up at. And that is probably a big no in the first place. But congratulations. And I love that it’s dedicated to all of the religions. I will definitely visit that spot, but just enjoy it from the bottom. 😂🎉 where can I get some information about the tuktuk. I live out here at the beach in Florida. I would love to have one of those. we don’t really have any hills to deal with. So it would be perfect.

Hiya Paddy. A trendsetter with the first electric TukTuk. Good workout for the Tuktuk. Seeing how it would cope with more people. Love the clip of the old footage. Good vibes. Seeing the locals around the Tuktuk. The views on your walk were insane. Kinda glad it did not make it to see those views. Omg. That was insane. So proud of you. Well done. At 50. Paddy. I still could not do this. What a thing to overcome. And achieve. Amazing. Epic. Wow. Wow. Wow. 💙My mouth is aching as I am smiling so much. Well done. The views are next level. The drone footage is spectacular. I have got to be honest. I felt so nervous for you. What a thing to conquer. Amazing. How lovely of the police. Such good vibes. Your lunch looked delicious. What a feast. You are great. Doing this will give them so much information regarding the tuk-tuk. Great result for the team. Lovely ending. Love seeing the horses just eating. Can not wait to share. Have a wonderful weekend. Lovely video. Can not wait for the next one.
