Would You Cross This Bridge?


Okay here's my fear of heights coming into play again. I have a hard time just looking at this bridge without feeling a little light headed. Remember too that you're walking across this thing NOT driving. I might be able to cross this bridge if someone held a gun to my head. Other than that, sorry.

Hold On For Your Life



If you're familiar with this blog you know that I'm not fond of heights. Now I found this video of a narrow boat bridge crossing called the Pontcysyllte Aquaduct in North Wales. As if the height wasn’t scary enough, only the side walkable by pedestrians is guarded by a rail. if you’re on a narrowboat crossing the valley and you’re even slightly afraid of heights, it’s not advisable to look to the right.

Would you drive across this bridge ?


I'll be the first to admit that I'm not real fond of heights and the thought of driving over this bridge makes me feel a little woozy.

The Millau viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway connecting Paris and Barcelona and features the highest bridge piers ever constructed. The tallest is 787 feet high and the overall height will be an impressive 1102 feet, making this the highest bridge in the world. I must say it is a nice view! 787 feet high!
