If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

This challenge was a good excuse for me to take the sidevalve out for a run today! We had a great day today, nice and fresh but clear and dry.

This bridge is about 1/2 a mile from my house, its actually 3 railway bridges bulit side by side in the 1930s. My Granda worked on this when he was an apprentice!<br>Image<br>


Too many Minors so little time.....

Hi Wibble, you may have passed by them but I doubt it as its not on a main road. Theres a really cool one you would have came through on the coast road before you got to Larne, its a single track thats been blasted out of the hillside!! Did you stop for a picture of it? Think its called the Blah Hole!!

Under the longest M25 viaduct, the Gade Valley at Kings Langley, Herts with eleven spans totalling 480 yards bridging the West Coast Mainline railway & the Grand Union canal built by Fairclough Civil Engineering & who at the time of building in the early 80's held the longest sliding span record. Sadly one man lost his life during the construction of a pier. Charlie.<br>Image<br>

Good Evening,

I send to you the picture of the bridge with my Moggy. I'm go very often to fish. After, I take in my trunk inside my pick-up the necessary for the picnic. With Lily, we do a barbecue and we savour our cooked fish with the delicious white wine. Sometimes, we put on my pick-up my canoe and we are going in the little creek collect some shellfish. It'is very nice !!!!

The usual seat cover Kev. She was entitled to look bored, we'd just tried to get some pics at Watford Arches & I had her moving all the B&Q trolleys & boy it was cold, only got two pics that weren't shaken silly.

Well Chas if you had managed a photo at Bushey Arches I would have been impressed and tell the boss to wrap up warmer in future.

I've always known it as Bushey Arches as well, me thinks a rebranding is going on!
