Kylescu Bridge - Kylesku is a small, remote fishing hamlet in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands

Haha, zoom in and look what’s crossing…….

LOL! did not notice that. Only if it were a Cali. Scotland is teeming with big whites and many of them parked at beautiful places, are an eyesore. No wonder people hate them with a vengeance.

Do they really?

or do they hate the habits of most of the occupants?

Everyone to their own.

Does a high speed railway viaduct count as a bridge?

GJ, you are right, I think it is the habits of - specifically rented campervans - that make it not good for all.

Very useful to know that the van can be parked in the Parador car park. May go there next October on our regular visit to Jerez. It is always useful to know which hotel carparks are OK are some are not. The Parador in Cadiz has an underground car park which is 2.4 m high we asked after parking beside the road outside the walled city and going there for coffee after a walk.

There's a very good parking lot "El Castillo" next to the church Iglesia Santa Maria la Mayor, just 5 minutes walk from the bridge.

Not when it closes opportunities to the rest of us or negates all the advances that CAMpRA and other organisations are making.

It was happening before lockdown but lockdown and "staycation" turned bad manners towards the environment and communities into an epidemic in some places.

Bridge over to Roquebrun in France, magical place where you can swim in the cyrstal clear river, and Ladybower bridge a few miles from my homw

Two Spanish bridges.
Unfortunately the accompanying travel diary kept meticulously by my wife is currently "misplaced" so I haven't a clue where they are, although I suspect somewhere in the south west. Maybe some-one can enlighten me?

Not sure "great white occupants" are the sole reason for" bad manners" though?

Quite agree. I've said that many times.

Cromwell's Bridge near Clitheroe Lancashire. Battered but still standing. A popular spot for wedding photos. (honest). The sides were knocked down by Cromwell to allow his troops and carts to cross but the arches are still standing.

Some magician photographers make that bridge look really scary.

I found the reality an anticlimax.

So true. And there are many such bridges all over Norway. I think this is the only one where the photographers can distort reality and hence why this one is so famous.

A bridge ... or should I call this a barge. A bridge floating on water - on blue containers. The whole thing sways when on it and on a motorbike, quite difficult to remain stable. That's bridge is across the Volga in Astrakhan, Russia near the border between Russia and Kazakhstan.

I think that sort of bridge is called a pontoon bridge.

To some.

To others it is the Domino bridge,

For as you drive over it you here "knock knock"...
