My worst phobia is definetly road bridges. Have any of you driven over that big bug**er on the Chirk bypass? Dont know why I thought I would be safer doing only 20 mph because it just prolonged the agony of crossing the damn thing. Had my own personal convoy behind, and why did I think I was going to fall off when its a dual carriageway for gawds sake?
Miss Ramblingrose did you see the programme last night on TV of the reconstruction of the earthquake that hit San Fransisco a few years ago. The two tier bridge collapsed leaving vehicle squashed and mangled. Quite horrific to say the least. How would you be on the new bridge recently opened in France?
Its the French populace I feel sorry for Colin regarding that bridge. They aren't very happy because it wasn't designed by a Frenchman. If the truth was known the reason for their unhappiness is because it was designed by a Brit.
It was explained some years ago that fear of heights is linked to falling, falling doesn't hurt but hitting the ground does! You spend most of your time on the ground, so it is actually quite user friendly! Just make sure you don't fall and if you do it's an old friend that's gonna stop you!
Never met a bird (flying type!) that doesn't fly away when someone gets near or a sharp noise like a clap is made, so whats there to be afraid of apart fom thos man eating pigeons and blur tits I guess
Get a grip!

I would "get a grip" as you say, but i'm afraid of the flapping etc.
Must be good to have no fear

Anyone done the Millau Bridge by the way???????. I can't wait for next time I am down in that area
Hi Tina
Obviously you did not see the documentary about it, it's in southern France and is a bridge across a gorge. Magnificent

OK Maaayyybeeee if George Clooney was naked and holding that bar of Galaxy I'd give it a go,it would still have to be jumbo though,and the Galaxy too !!!lol!
I have to say that I missed the programme about the bridge hit by the Earthquake as husband had fetched down some power lines whilst tree felling and knocked out the power to us and several local villages........but thats another story.....
I know of the bridge in France you mention and even looking at the photo makes me feel faint....... theres yet another bridge over the river at Honfleur which is pretty high.....my son brought home a photo of it taken off the river boat on a school trip and the bridge is just a line in the sky.

Well I been over the bridge at pont de normadie, (I should say bridges) always scary looking from the bottom or at a distance, but grip the wheel all the same.
I've yet to do the other, I will have to though.
Why?
Because hubby from the age of 12 wanted to build bridges.
Did he do it?
Yes.
What now?
He wants to go and see it, ogle the architecture, admire the views, and drive over.
Several times.....
ME
petrified.
