The Highest Man in Hay

Imagine being in the little cage at the end of the arm of a cherry picker, dangling over the tower of Hay Castle! This is what Rob Soldat had to do recently, to get information together for a grant application for the Castle.
"I found a couple of pieces of decorated stone up there that you'd never spot from down below," he said, "and you could see just how often the tower's been re-built over the centuries - and the bits where it was obviously Friday afternoon, and they've gone "This'll do, lads, just slap it together and we'll be down at the tavern before they've sold that cask of ale!'"
