Joined Ganges in 1958, climbed the mast many times but never had the guts to be the button boy. In fact it took everything I had to climb over the devils elbow. There was a net at the bottom, but was told if you fell off you’d end up as chips our bounce onto the post office roof. Went in as a 15year old boy and came out 13/14 months later a man, proud I coped with it.
