Your bike on a bridge pics

[Richard A Thackeray]

On the bridge, over the run-off, from the Ornamental Lakes
Temple Newsam
Leeds

I was there, as I'd ridden down 'Avenue Woods' (from Bullerthorpe Lane), to see the 'Jonathon Noble Memorial Cyclo-Cross'
(organised by Seacroft Wheelers)

I did forget, however, how steep the end of the Avenue was, & how narrow the track was
I did find out, though, how slippery it was today.................

NO!, I didn't fall off, but the back wheel was on the point of locking all the way down

(nearer to Bullerthorpe Lane)

Someone will know, why it's in this thread

The towns name has its origins in Latin

'Pons' (a bridge)
'Fractus' (broken)

Hence the pub, in the town; 'The Broken Bridge' (& the reason for inclusion, in this particular thread)



The name alludes to a collapsed earlier structure at FerryBridge

Having finally figured out how to post from my 'phone, a couple from this summer :

Somewhere near Fort Augustus, after the Corrieyairack Pass.

And one from my French tour, on a Randonee Route through the marais, in Normandy.

And this is one from near Ben Alder, the bridge was sturdier than it looks 😊

That route was, as you may (may not?) know, was the Great North Road, with a drop to the bridge, from either side
If you open this link, you can see the very awkward approaches

We had a week in Northumbria (14th-18th Oct), & parts of the journey allowed me to follow the old (pre-bypasses) GNR, when my wife was amenable to it...……….... or didn't realise👼
