He could lob an egg onto the roof and then monitor its progress with the camera. :-D
....actually, while he's at it he could lob a couple of rashers of bacon and some beans as well.
Keep us informed, Mick :lol:

Don't like Beans!! As it happens access is easy, walk up my neighbour's drive step onto the wall between us and then onto my garage roof as you can get an idea of from the picture!! Also the whole cost was only £846 which I consider a good use of my pension!! :-D
