North West Meet - Krispy Kreme - Saturday July 13th 2013

[lfcrule1972]

ok so I took a look on Google images at Barton bridge, what's the problem with it ?

[Jimbob]

It is adjacent to a large sewage works and smells!
I fear however our friend was referring to it's height above the Manchester Shit Canal.
I used to think that acrophobia was a fear of acro props but apparently not so!

Yep, heights and me do not get along at all, and as you can see from this photo they really want to ensure you can see how scary it is on the run up to the bridge. It is an old picture, but the only one I could find that shows off the scary approach angle......

[Clean Your Ride]

In May of last year, a Mercedes crashed with a van on the top of here


And was teetering over the edge



Did end safely though Daron

[lfcrule1972]

Luckily I don't mind heights, the smell would probably be worse for me lol..... Some other great bridges for you Daron...

Millau Bridge - France





Tampa Skyline Bridge (I've been over this)

[dbrewood]

Jeeez, BTW Andy the 'Did end safely though Daron' comment I read at first glance as 'Died safely......' Even my subconcious must be paranoid!

Bridges..... OMG I'd drive endless miles to avoid going over either of those! I can't even believe the French built that first one!

What time will you all be there till? I finish work @ 4 ish! Unfortunately I won't have my DS3 yet (on order for start of August) it's still in France somewhere haha! But I'd love to come down and get some ideas for when she does arrive

It varies from meet to meet. Usually there for a fair few hours though. What time do you think you'll make it to Krispy Kreme?

[BEEFERS]

I should be there around 11.45.

[dbrewood]

Looking unlikely I'll be there alas guys. Still on very strong painkillers with the teeth / abscess issues and to be honest not fit to drive (very floaty). May be better tomorrow but not hopeful.

[BEEFERS]
