Is anyone doing the Humber Bridge Walk on 17 June?

Fiona has gone round school and got lots of her friends and some teachers to sponsor her.
 
Hi Monica. I did that 2 times in a month last year. Did it myself & it was that good i dragged the family down from Newcastle to do it. Have a good time doing "Bridge" It is a good experience !! 😎
 
HOBIE - thanks 🙂

We've done the Humber Bridge Walk 4 times in the last 5 years. It's only last year we did NOT GO.
I'm not sure who will go this year, as Carol doesn't want to go. I said she had to, but OH told Fiona that if Carol isn't going, she was allowed to take a friend. So we'll see...... (mind you, it's Father's day, so she might not be able to find a friend who's allowed to go)

We also walked the Bridge a couple of times just for "fun"
 
I did the Firth of Forth last year aswell & it "moves" when an artic or bus goes over (i am not scared of hights but 😱). Hope you can get carrol to do it again. The Hummber Bridge is the longest you can walk over in Europe ! 😉
 
😱 😱

I didn't know that about the Humber Bridge 😱
 
Yes Monica i did my research last year before i did my walk over 8 bridges Tyne,Tweed,Mersey,Severn,Themes,humber & Tees. In 3 days by myself on a motorbike. Not bad for somone who has been T1 more than 45yrs Raised ?1200 for Duk. Will do a proper post on this years event for Duk in a week or so 🙂
 
Yes, I remember reading about that last year. Well done.
I think Fiona (with Carol's help) raised about ?70. We'll see when she's collected it all.
 
Well done Carrol & Fiona ! They sound like good kids ! 🙂🙂
