Footbridge below Saltburn viaduct:

4 bridges in view - aqueduct/rail/road/road.  Taken from a 5th.  And a 6th - the ruin of a tram road bridge - is just beyond the furthest in view: http://goo.gl/maps/x05TA

Quantity maybe, but not quality - neither photographically nor ponta..,. ponta...  (any suggestions for a word meaning the quality of bridgy-ness?  Ponta-flucta-leonidy?)

Oh, I like pretty much all bridges.  Even, as I believe I've said before, the terribly dull ones over motorways, sometimes.  One day I'll be pissed enough to attempt to explain it.  Although probably not very successfully.  Ask Interzen, who listened patiently but looked bemused.

I feel that I should know where this is but cannot place it.It's frustrating because I'm certain I've ridden thru' it.
Is it on the Sustrans C2C route between Whitehaven & Keswick?

Ah, I thought I recognuised dear old dismal dribblehead.  I really wanted to see this work of art, and when I eventually got a chance, it was bloody 'orrible, wet, dismal and generally vile...  Lovely viaduct, and one day I may actually see it properly!  A bit like Loch Ness, I have driven the entire length of it on the road alongside a couple of times, but have never seen the loch.

Very near home, the old railway doesn't really go anywhere (lack of a bridge later on), but that doesn't mean it isn't worth following...

That is a very nice bridge. I am hoping to have a better view of this one in a few weeks.

I didn't stop for a photo because I'm rubbish, but imagine if you will one of North Worcestershire's finest gaping potholes, filled to some unseen depths with an abundance of slowly trickling farm runoff.  And a piece of broken fence panel fallen, presumably from the back of a vehicle, across it in a manner far too reminiscent of a hedgehog-bridge to suggest that the universe doesn't have a sense of humour.

I giggled so much I nearly failed to avoid the next gaping pothole.

Some from today's ride:

(one arch of) Plawsworth Viaduct:



Bridge over Waskerley Beck in Wolsingham (there was a dipper a bit to the left, but I didn't have a suitable camera to photograph it):



And Wolsingham Bridge, over the Wear:

A walk today with Crusty.



The infant Tees, just down from Cauldron Snout.


This is now the Tees Railway Path.  It was dark so we used the road.


Footbridge near Mickleton in the last bit of evening sun.


Still quite nippy up on the fells.
