It seems bizarre that I'm creating a highlight for something like this but I'm not going to lie, this was definitely a highlight of my #WalkHome2020 200-mile (322 km) journey from Sheffield to Cockermouth. Following the Pennine Way over this magnificent footbridge at great height was an unforgettable experience. The bridge sags in the middle rather than arches upwards which feels unusual. The roar of the traffic was deafening and the lorries sounded their horns for our merriment. All in all, it was a sharp contrast to the rural focus of my long walk.
