Many thanks for that DW - I always loved unusual bridges. Shame I never got to see any of the Dutch ones mentioned, although I did see a few other very good ones.

From the pictures linked my favourite is the one in Poole.

This is the highest one I've been across, Le Harve bridge, although I suspect there's a lot worse around ........

The North Bridge is a shit to get over if you're in a small underpowered car...

OMG and FFS all rolled into one ! The above reminded me of this Free Climbing a Radio Mast with his tool bag dangling behind him on a Rope ! All this at the time I was trying to get people NOT to climb on anything over 4 feet tall at work.

NOT even seeing Rovers play Wolves in the Premiership would get me up there - especially when he is on the Scaffolding Pole for the last 20 feet or so - uuuuggghhhh NO

I've seen the radio mast one before, I felt dizzy just watching it
