One of our interesting challenges, as we run alongside the beautiful but winding Derwent, is to arrange bridges at the many places needed. Some bridges are already there and can be shared, others are in place for other purposes, like pedestrian, road, rail, or even pipes! Some will need to be built.
Pictured here is the “pipe bridge” over the Derwent, north of the cricket ground and Eyes Meadow in Duffield. We need to cross the river at the same place! We look at such bridges with interest, and are exploring (with careful consultation with the owners) if we can use or adapt the structure, to provide a cycleway bridge.
To see a brilliant example of a new walking/cycling bridge, in Stockport (so not so far away), go here.
