Spinnaker Tower becomes 33rd member of WFGT

Love or hate the Spinnaker Tower and all the controversy surrounding it’s development & build you can’t deny it’s impact. I remember being able to see it from a hill in Petersfield the other year. Impressive. With over 600,000 visitors in it’s first year and still attracting people from far and wide it’s great to see our sail inspired landmark make it as the 33rd member of the World Federation of Great Towers (WFGT), joining the Empire State Building, Eiffel Tower and many more world renowned buildings.

Hundreds of people were out having BBQs and generally enjoying the sun when all of a sudden things got weird when you could see your breath in the air and pockets of mist were passing right in front of your eyes. It’s rare to see this during day and normally only occurs first thing in the morning, so this was pretty cool to see.

Don’t forget your camera. Oh, and if you’re a Portsmouth resident you get cheap entry if you provide proof.
