Bridges of the Tees

Newport Bridge, Tees River.

 

Today I walked the river Tees, visiting all of the bridges between Yarm and Middlesbrough. I tweeted these updates as I travelled so you can follow my journey.

  1. Mam seemed a little confused by my Tees bridge quest but I paid her no heed and am now on the train to Yarm. #TeesLiveTweet

  2. The first two bridges are Yarm Viaduct and Yarm Masonry Bridge. The latter is rock hard to pinpoint on Google Maps. #TeesLiveTweet

  3. My phone is no kind of smart so I am relying on some hastily scribbled directions to hold my bridge quest together. #TeesLiveTweet

  4. It’s a bit of a trek between the station & the town but to Yarm Council’s credit they have signposted the walk well. #TeesLiveTweet

  7. Also found the Masonry bridge right next to the Viaduct. Nowhere near where google maps said it would be. #TeesLiveTweet

  10. It is still 3 miles to Stockton following the river. Glad this is a one-way quest. #TeesLiveTweet

  16. Mam sounded a bit unnerved about the fact that I’d walked from Yarm to Boro. I might cop it when I get home. #TeesLiveTweet
