When Brunel proposed the design of this bridge they must have thought him mad. I bet they laughed as it was built and then stopped when it worked perfectly.
I.K. Brunel built Britain, and Britain built the modern world... so Brunel built the world. Of all the Britons I would have loved to meet Isambard Kingdom Brunel is right at the top.
Love the sunshine at the beginning lol typical it comes out after we walked it. love the high shots too, the guy dresssed as the man himself was a nice touch I thought. Great Vid :)
Amber Films 🎥 Thank you, filming could have been better if not for the weather. I believe that there are years when bridge is closed to rail traffic and a charity walk across takes place. Their are groups that cover events for Saltash.
Thanks Rob,not the best of weather, Network rail were good enough to let this go ahead. They could have cancelled it due to weather. How was that Holyhead recording on the SD card?
Im not sure if its listed but I know at the time a campaign was to save the station and have this listed. Thanks for watching sorry for the delay in the reply.
Sorry you did not enjoy the filming of this unique event but I think you have missed the point in this footage. I had a size limit on my up-loads for file size so rather than give small sections of the walk I sped up the footage to give the 2 hours of footage in 10 minutes so it will show exaggerated movement especially in high winds as it was on the day. GoPRO gimbals were not available then or I would have had one as I do now (although not waterproof). The new GoPro do now have stabilisation built in to their cameras and are water proof.
@@52foxbat oh I understand now ... what a pity about your restrictions with the camera .. it was still worth watching... I never knew they let you walk across that narrow bridge ...

Over 150 years old and still working great built to last
What an amazing experience this must have been!
Thank you for watching, And it was despite the weather😀
It’s such a weird yet cool design for a bridge. It looks like a pair of eyes...
Thank you for the feedback
Excellent video Dave. Look like you had a good time there.

Tear droppingly good. Whens the next chance?

After 150 years they had to paint it? ;-)
cool
The camera guy couldn't wait to get across the bridge ... he must have vertigo problems... terrible filming ... way too jerky ...
