I was able to cross the gigantic stream at the end of the trail without getting my feet wet. Does the construction count as a bridge then?

Not the greatest photo as it was a very skinny bridge with a lot of foot traffic, Sunderlands Cox Green Footbridge over the River Wear.

Underestimated the route, ended up doing almost 2k elevation gain and fighting an 11% grade hill however that lead to some beautiful views!

I've got the same bridge, looking the other way!

Kind of a bridge. More folly, really.



Doh!! Just realised the bike wasn't in the pic!
