Hello everyone, have a look on diabetes uk web site challenges. Type in "3 generations do 6 bridges". This is this years challenge for me, Dad 81,son 10,& me older than i want to be 🙄!! Happens 28.6.2012 on Tyne bridges 9.5 mile & you have to in 2hrs. Does part of Roman wall cycleway & Keel mans. 🙂🙂
 
Thanks Northy & Steff, i am looking forward to doing it. I hope it doesnt rain & we all get washed down the Tyne 😱
 
Hi everyone we only done 3 bridges because it was all called off because of flooding ! It took us 2.5 hours to get from house to gateshead (approx 7mile). It took longer to get home. Cars where floating on the felling bypass which is a flat road & not like a river ! 😱 Pictures on local news had man hole covers blown out & water 30ft in air at bottom of dean st ncle. I love a challenge but this was not the "norm". That was thurs night & then on the mon i did this years motorbike trip tp spain (2700mile,80 degrees ) Enjoyed ! 😎
 
This awful weather has scuppered a lot of events and plans Hobie - hopefully next year will be better, and above water! 🙂
