Men at Work!

After months of looking unloved the bridge in Thwaite is finally being repaired.

The further up the dale you go, the narrower the bridges become.  Almost all of them are on 

a sharp bend as the road turns to cross the River Swale.  Damage is caused when 

large lorries, trying to avoid the A66 (but why?) come through Swaledale 

often in the middle of the night, leaving a trail of destruction behind them.

Hopefully it won't be long before the council come and start to piece back together
Hoggarths bridge which took a hell of a knock last year.
