Went up to the top of the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth today. They were building it the whole time I lived down there, but it was the first time I’d been up. It was always called the “Millennium Tower” while they were working on it, but I guess with it not being finished till 2005, they had to change the name really.

It’s pretty cool and there is a great view of Portsmouth, the Solent and the Isle of White from the top, it’s just a shame they don’t have an open air section at the top. You have to stay inside, behind some strongly tinted blue windows, which is a little weird.

• Went to the Spinnaker Tower the day before you - had a great time and it’s well worth seeing - my first trip to Portsmouth - lucky you living there - especially if you like sailing.

• Thanks for the comment on my website - the picutre of the spiral staircase was taken by my partner and was one of several taken with different flash settings - the one published was the best one - the camera is a fuji digital (finepix). The other pics were good as well.
