Sobre IBD

This adventure/project began as a result of a short story competition - Crossing the Tees - to which I was introduced through Prompted-2-Write. I decided on the spur of the moment to visit, photograph and traverse (where possible) all the crossings of the Tees. Several trawls of Ordnance Survey maps and close scrutiny by Google maps gave me an initial list of fifty-two crossings, more than double what I had guessed! I knew that I had included some barrages and weirs. Did they count as crossings? Railway bridges certainly did, even the three that no longer carried rail tracks. Some I suspected, but could not tell from the maps, were probably constructed to carry water or perhaps sewage pipes. I decided that I would simply check them out as I journeyed downstream.

  • Crossings of the Wear
    Robert Morrow
    Having been some time since I completed my Crossings of the Tees, I decided another project was called for. The Wear - at its closest only some fourteen miles from my home and flowing from high Pennines heathlands, through a gorgeous valley to its industrial mouth at Sunderland where it enters the North Sea - seemed an obvious choice. The history of the population of the Wear v...

    The arrival of Covid-19 at the turn of 2019-20 put paid to any travel until July 2020. My planned cruise out to St Kilda and some of the Hebridean islands with Noble Caledonia was cancelled as the lockdown began and although, for a while, it looked as if my replacement cruise with Majestic Line in late July might just go ahead, it too was cancelled. By that time, I had made som...
