    Pause briefly in the middle of the bridge and look down into the dense vegetation. With a bit of luck, you might spot birds or even wild goats moving between the slopes. A small thrill with a big moment of nature!

      I know, it's impressive but it is this bridge that must be crossed. It's the one and only route to Wellington. So take your courage in both hands and Ride On!

      Do not be afraid. Looking closely, you will notice that the bridge is held together by strong metal cables.
