Sunday (day 1) The biggest crane in Britain arrives early in the morning. Kings Parade is shut whilst a smaller crane is used to help assemble the 100m long boom arm.
	Monday (day 2) Our first chance to see the full extent of the crane captured the attention of people all over Cambridge.
	Tuesday (day 3) After a foggy start very good progress is made and a large number of units are successfully installed. A visit to the roof of Great St Marys Church in the afternoon provided aerial views of the operation.
	Wednesday (day 4) After a good start to the day the wind speed rose and the crane had to be lowered across the front lawns of Kings. This did however present a chance to get a close look at the boom.
	Thursday (day 5) A very poor day for the crane as the wind prevents it from being used at all. The work is now falling behind schedule and hopes now are for a good day tomorrow.
	Friday (day 6) Rain made for rather unpleasant crane watching but a number of units were successfully installed. The work is now set to continue in to the weekend.
	Saturday (day 7) A very successful day was had all round. The weather was kind to the builders and we went on a trip to New Museums Site (partly for national science week and partly to find different views of the crane).
	Sunday (day 8) Another good day for the crane but it will still have units to lift tomorrow. In the afternoon we visited other colleges to appreciate their views of the crane.
	Monday (day 9) Not very much happened today because the wind speed increased to unsafe levels in the afternoon. Some units were however lifted in the morning and the work is almost finished.
	Tuesday (day 10) The crane completed its work in the morning and preparation for its removal began. Kings Parade was closed from 6pm and the operation to dismantle the crane began.
	Wednesday (day 11) Kings College awoke to an emptiness on Kings Parade. The Crane had slipped quietly away during the night leaving only 48 new rooms and a trail of websites as reminders of its once great presence.
