two bridges

Roman bridges just outside of Chester.

Chatburn area of the Ribble Valley, Pendle Hill in the background.

Kingdom bridging a couple of large stones.

I suddenly can’t post a picture! How annoying? Last attempt then – [url=https://flic.kr/p/2kPJpoP]Photo time at the Bridges. A good spot for a cuppa in the sunshine[/url] by Ken H, on Flickr" alt="camino" />

It worked. Roman Bridges near Chester

A covered bridge in Vermont.

Crossing the river Feugh this morning near Banchory. Nice and sunny.

Bikes on a bridge

A rickety wooden bridge close to the site of the battle of Glenlivet in 1594. I had assumed this was a wee skirmish following a night on the bevvy and the Earl of Huntly made a pass at the Earl of Argyll’s Mrs. Turns out Huntly’s 2,000 troops managed to thrash Argyll’s 10,000, despite being hugely outnumbered and fighting uphill – much to the chagrin of King James.

Ooh I get to play…

It’s there, honest.

Maud Heath causeway. Definitely a bridge when the water’s up.

Potarch Bridge between Banchory and Aboyne.

I can’t even do a picture of me with my own bike, let alone anyone else’s. 🙁

What I do is host the photo on an image hosting site (I use https://postimages.org/ ). Once the photo is uploaded click the share button then copy and paste the Direct link into the IMG box on here.

Golden Gate. Day 1 of tour.

Dartmoor, small and imperfectly formed

I thought about this thread the other day. I went for a ride to meet my eldest son, who was on his way home, cycling back from Bath to Cambridge. He puts me to shame – he and his wife sold their car and now go everywhere by bike or train.

This was the bridge under the A1 at Biggleswade – who knew that such a sweet route existed?

Quiet lane over a not very busy M50

From yesterday’s jaunt around the reservoir.

Pesky wrist injury has halted play for too many months but here’s a pic from last year.

Marin County, aka Barford on Avon, Warwickshire

Me and my new bridge at Cocksburn Reservoir.

A few years ago SPEN (Scottish Power Energy Networks, the pylon people) destroyed the local hill path as mitigation work, and at Cocksburn Reservoir built a new path and a bridge that wasn’t really needed.

The bridge lasted just a few months before it washed away into the reservoir. SPEN then lied to me and said it wasn’t their responsibility, but it was so I named and shamed in a national paper and they finally agreed to replace it.

This is the replacement bridge – the multi-use path around the reservoir is fully connected again and hopefully this new bridge will last years rather than months.
(There’s a Stanton Sherpa in the grass at the back of the bridge)
