Posted: 04/08/2012 21:10:50 Reply | Quote Devon County Council has recently opened a rather splendid new foot / cycle bridge over the Walkham Valley. Is there any legal reason preventing someone, for example, abseiling from it. (You will understand that this is a purely academic question) IP: 109.145.157.1 |

Posted: 05/08/2012 09:12:28 Reply | Quote I know exactly which one you are talking about and have asked the question myself. The big question I found was "what would you rig off?" They might take offence to you installing some rawlbolts into the victorian masonry! The Castle Motors one (ex Brunel wide gauge) near menheniot has a walkway underneath. It's one I have been very keen on jumping off for a while. IP: 87.114.7.42 |

The one I am thinking of is the brand new 2.1 million quid Gem bridge over the Walkham. Made out of welded steel sections - no rigging problems. IP: 109.145.157.1 |
