A snippet of Video of me walking down the ArcelorMittal Orbit on the outside winding staircase, It's very windy up there as you can tell by the sound. Watch as the Olympic Stadium comes into view through the security mesh.

Yesterday I managed to get up close, inside and up the ArcelorMittal Orbit, thanks to the great guys at ArcelorMittal

The struicture is amazing and is even better close up and if you get the chance during and after Games time go up it. It's going to have some amazing features put in the viewing platform.
