Alright...

But bonj, surely, there's always a knob on your bike...

Hey, Phil, you dissing our bridges? They may not be old, but at least two of them have built in cafes...

I'll have to see if I can get a suitable pic later today...

Ooo, i was too polite to say that

I took the wrong way home for this bridge.

It's the footbridge to Shire Hill situated at the bottom of Doctors Gate which was the old Roman Road over the Snake Pass.

Stunning for walks up there and it is a Bridlepath so I have tried to descend it a few times on bike. I lack the skills to get all the way down in one go - you'd need a lot of skills to do it I reckon - but have had a lot of fun trying .

I'd say fairly hairy but I'm no expert.

Nevertheless, a really pretty photograph longers...totally evocative.

10/10 - look at the water cascading over the stones...

 

[Fnaar]

This humpty back bridge looked really pretty close up... the pic doesn't do it justice...

 

[Aperitif]

Is it in Thumberland Fnaar? - looks peaceful wherever it is...

Yes, it's a village called Mitford, only 2 miles from home!

decision time based on my aforementioned inscrutable criteria, I am pleased to announce Longers the winner for his pleasing shot of a wooden bridge. Hearty congrats and apologies to the runners up who deserve a worthy mention... Oh for God's sake shut up rich p!

Ok, enough faffing around in the countryside, lets go urban.

Your bike and a piece of graffiti. I will be picking the winner on the basis of whether I like it or not. Next sunday evening being the deadline.
