This might change if there was heavy rains, but it is not an issue right now. I was there yesterday and the bridge is still usable even if it is collapsed.

]]> Comment on 676 complete Highland Cross on longest day by Rory http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/news/676-complete-highland-cross-on-longest-day/0046/#comment-26 Rory Fri, 27 Jun 2008 11:29:38 +0000 http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/news/?p=46#comment-26 Well I did it, and so did my wife, and several of our friends... Twas a lovely sunny day (yes I got sunburn), but the wind in our faces on the bikes was less than useful. It's a great walking area at any time of year, but the views were magnificent on Saturday, and the support teams made it all a pleasure.

Given the length of this event, my partner (John Mackenzie) and I were amazed how close it was. Literally a sprint finish between the first four teams, who were all within close sight of eachother in the last hour. Regarding Course C “embarrassing mistake” :sad:
