Can you walk over dartford bridge

On the Severn Bridge, there's a bit of a feeling that getting blown off might save the trouble of jumping! Oscar's dad aka Septimus Fitzwilliam Beauregard Partridge. You can just ride across the Humber Bridge with no problem at all. It's free too. Just goes to show what is possible. Forth Bridge is easy to ride over as well the routing at the North end can be a bit confusing though.

Quote from: Oscar's dad on 09 June, , pm. I've never crossed by bicycle before, but feel it is my duty to do so now! I dare say we could blame Thatcher. Those wonderful norks are never far from my thoughts, oh yeah!

Our standard diet of ketchup sandwiches was wearing a little thin and we set our sights on the luxuries of South Mimms service station.

We walked through a frightening junk yard filled with threatening signs about guard dogs. We were lost, stumbling around in the night and trying to find a way to get across the A1 into the service station.

Not content to just eat chips for dinner in the service station we also slept in some bushes in the car park so that we could eat breakfast there too. I topped up my coffee over and over from the free milk until I was just drinking milk. We marched on knowing we only had a couple more days to go. The variety of landscapes, natural and man-made, that we encountered walking through six counties was interesting.

There was clear separation between the different classes or groups we walked past. The M25 walk was through an environment very much controlled by man. But I relished feeling the forces of nature at work as well. We can build highways that transport thousands of people and tonnes of manafactured goods. Down to my left the pouring stream of red and white lights raced on, but the cold on my face and the searing raw wind reminded me that nature is still with us, even in the most mundane of man-controlled environments.

After a week of hard walking the columns of the Queen Elizabeth bridge came into view again. Our circle was complete. The snow, the wild camping, the kebab shops, the fence jumping, the shopping trolley: it had been quite a week.

We were cold and tired and more jubilant than we would have imagined. We had successfully found adventure in 21st Century southern England, we had scratched our curiosity and proved that if you step just a fraction away from the main road, away from the conventional route, the path everyone else is taking, the road you have always taken then you can see things differently, challenge yourself and have novel, interesting experiences.

All that remained was to get across the bridge and complete our circle. We knew that we would not be allowed to walk across the bridge but had heard rumours that the Transport Police would give a lift to pedestrians and cyclists. Arriving at the bridge we found a phone that was a direct line to request a lift across. No walkers. What a great way to find a challenge not many would accomplish closer to home than usual!

It was the coldest this country has felt that I can remember, and I was inside! I followed your tweets as you were going around it, and wondered how you would get past some of the junctions. One thing is for sure today is going to be a day full of wanderlust while sitting behind my desk. This is a realisation of one of those crazy ideas you get when with a group of friends in a pub or a thought that darts through your mind while twiddling your thumbs in work looking at a map on the wall.

Fantastic little tale, well done. I wish I knew about this earlier I would have enjoyed following your tweets. Imagine hitting the worst winter in years! Really like these homegrown adventures. What ground pad do tou use, as well? Cant get a partner for the OMM so do a microadventure adventure instead! I have decided that missing out on the OMM I will do a small microadventure, we are going up to visit my mum in Manchester returning Friday but I will cycle it back on Mountainbike using roughly the Midshires way back down to Nottingham.

I will bivvy still need to buy bivvy bag somewhere on the way back. Looking forward to it now, hope the weather is kind. I really enjoy how you tell these stories in words and images—crossing Scotland and the M Hi Martha, it is indeed a lovely line. Im 55,female,grown up kids at home still. Your adventure sounds cool. What a brill idea. Fancy somat similar myself. Good on ya. This Easter we start the North Downs Way time to pass from a micro adventure to a small adventure we aim to start Good Friday come rain or shine and hope to finish by the end of the school hoildays but no rush the biggest thing is to have fun enjoy each others company and have an adventure, Thank you, you inspired me get out and more importantly you inspired me to take my grandson with me.
