The dome has a circumference of 365m, one for each day of the year, the top of the walkway that runs over the dome is 52m marking the number of weeks in the year and there are 12 masts which represent the 12 months in a year. Yep that’s right, climbing the O2 is pretty much like scrambling over an edifice built by the illuminati or space aliens.
According to O2 stats the average climber visiting the O2 burns around 450 calories crossing the dome and has to tackle gradients similar ...to those in the Tour De France.
On a personal level my cousins husband Carl died last year from lung cancer, if it wasn't for the Marie curie nurses he would never been able to stay in his own home with his loving wife, children and family. As a result Carl was able to spend his last weeks in peace, comfort and dignity something we should all have a right to and deserve.
