Isn't there a yonks-old bowstring bridge on a disused line somewhere up near Penrith ? LOL! I wondered how long it would take for someone to bring up the Keswick-Penrith line project! There are several such bridges, some inverted. All in poor condition though - accessible to bridleway traffic. -- Chris Game Capt'n! The spellchecker kinna take this abuse! |

I was thinking it was part of some sort of railway / rollercoaster hybrid setup. That would have explained why it's now disused.
