The old Railway bridge down Martholme in Great Harwood, We used to use it for practing S.R.T (single rope techniques) and advanced ropework.
Wish I had a pound for every hour I spent installing belay points on it. We used to stand on one side of the bridge and jump off and swing right under the bridge over the river. Was about 100 foot drop. Would not mind doing it again when I get back.
