This is a two part question...

1)Spot the lane/s
2)Where were the photos taken?

Looking upriver
guesswhere1.jpg

Looking downriver
guesswhere2.jpg

Looking to 'the other side'
guesswhere3.jpg
(Clue - the child may have webbed toes)

Looking to the 'other side'
guesswhere4.jpg
(Clue - not many of you know the sane chap on the other bank)

Last clue - there's only 90 seconds between the first and last picture.

These photos were taken on Sunday last (27th June '10) on a short bimble out to test my bike and the "sane one's" bike.
Mine drowned in another river but I rescued it in approx 2 mins and the Sane One's bike decided to stop charging the battery. That's OK though as he has both an electric start and a kick start - unlike mine!

Busy place that, we paid a visit on Sunday as well. Liz wouldn't let me take her new bike across and I wasn't going to risk mine.

Sorry I can't answer your questions though without giving away lane numbers.

So did you cross it (by bike)?
It was nearly dusk when we were on the scene and I didn't fancy getting me feet wet.
But this lot did

Here's another clue to how I took the photographs...
guesswhere5.jpg

We must have ridden past Lizzzzizzzz (sorry got lost in the Spelling Bee then) house as we started from Widewell.
The river was quite low but my bike was drowning out as I had no valves on the carb breathers. The 'Sane One' lived up to his name by not attempting it. The flow of water is quite immense.

Good video. Yes the crossing's the same but the water looked lower than Sunday? The route across from the North is to loop East. That misses the nuclear sub parked in the middle.

Hmmm,

I think you've got me there Andy. Never seen this one and to be quite honest would be happy not tackling it.

Well one of a group with me crossed it yesterday both ways. Wasn't to deep but looked very slippery and rocky. Not a feet up exercise for sure, so for long legged or short bike people only smile.gif
