Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge was first erected by salmon fishermen in 1755 and today is a National Trust site. You don't have to be scared of heights as the bridge swings 100ft above the sea linking the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede. The bridge is located on the North Antrim Coastal Path and road, 7 miles from Giant's Causeway, ½ mile from Ballintoy village. For the avoidance of doubt this shot is looking back from the island to the mainland & yes I did cross the bridge! And yes it was a bit scary!! Well worth it though. HFF to everyone. Enjoy your weekend - hopefully in the sun!

Great Central Railway. Loughborough. Visiting GWR Prairie 5199 departs from the station southwards with an observation saloon during the Steam Gala. Loughborough station entrance & ticket office can be seen on Great Central Road bridge. The photo was taken from the cab of British Railways 2MT 2-6-0 78019 which I was firing. We were held at the Outer Home signal gantry to wait on 5199's departure from Platform 2.
