Pennine Way crossing the M62
Specially designed bridge that takes the Pennine Way National Trail across a deep cutting that contains the M62.
It is 320 ft long, with a parabolic arch and slayed legs to withstand winds of 120 mph.
The whole experience seems surreal to hardened walkers heading for Kirk Yetholm in Scotland, or indeed the shorter distance to Edale for those awkward individuals who insist on doing the challenge north to south.
Wilderness all around, with six lanes on heavy traffic beneath one's boots.
