Crossing the River Allt a' Chaonais

We didn't actually have to use this 'bridge' to cross the river yesterday, as it was low enough to cross on foot, but we couldn't resist trying it out. Great fun. I've never seen these before. I guess they're very useful when the river is in spate.

Two Munros successfully bagged in the Glen Carron area. A single on the agenda for today, with a long, fairly hilly, cycle in. Haven't been on my mountain bike for a long time, so we'll see how that goes!
Wow! Cool shot. I've never seen this type of "bridge."

An excellent, low maintenance option to get across a river when in flood.

Fun on a little crossing - I wouldn't like it over a large canyon tho!!

Excellent.. but think I would go with the wet feet option..

Totally in awe!

What a great shot of this crazy little bridge, I bet it is quite shaky and I'd probably fall in the water! Great sign on the left ;-)

I would have used it too! Looks great fun, especially with the warning sign - that makes it irresistible!

A very economical and effective bridge, good on you for testing it!
May 6th, 2024  
So unique! The sign made me smile!

this would be quite the adventure if the river was very high

What a simple, useful idea. Had to try it !!

I would be better just to walk in the water because I would end up there any way. Goo that you do all his activities so maybe when you get my age you wont have balance issues.

This looks quite hair raising

Kudos for trying the bridge. Not for me.
May 6th, 2024  
Well done.

Made me smile, and we would use it too. And we would need to cross it back and forth, to get a decent picture with the 10 second timer, until one of us gets wet. Actually all those creeks that need to be crossed on hikes, would make a great series. Olala, my inspiration dragged me away. Back to the topic, this is a great picture. Thanks for sharing.

I would say, It has to be done! A great bridge indeed!

Fascinating to see this! Great balance & a game John for demonstrating this. I expect he had a few wobbles. Would be quite scary crossing that with a raging river below you.

oh wow that's fantastic!

Wonderful to read and see, Iā€™m sure youā€™ll get on your bike and feel like it was yesterday you last rode it.
Very well doneā€¦ what a wonderful time your both having.
Inspiring beyond wordsā€¦. Love it

"you use this bridge at your own risk" ...brilliant ... faved

Wonderful shot. I read the sign, looked in front of the man and saw no bridge!!! Looking closer I saw he was on it! šŸ˜œ. Very good!

Nope, nope! I'm glad you didn't have to cross that way.

Very interesting bridge. Great capture.
May 7th, 2024  
How interesting! A great way to make it over the river.
May 7th, 2024  
Nice find and great shot. This is a great idea for getting to the other side when the water is very rough.
May 7th, 2024  
Such a fun way of keeping the feet dry
May 7th, 2024  
Great find
May 7th, 2024  
Looks like fun! If a bit precarious -- useful to have a good sense of balance.
May 7th, 2024  
@ludwigsdiana Indeed - I wanted the sign in the image!
May 7th, 2024  
I would love to know who came up with this ā€œsolutionā€! Looks like great fun.

Fantastic way to cross the river :)
