Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge

Sis-in-law Sarah and I

Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge is number 10 in Top Ten Bridges (National Geographic Journeys of a Lifetime) On Foot. It was a great privileged to see the bridge although it was a long trip from Belfast City.



With hubby, it was windy and cold too!

  4. Lani! What a small world. Remember Happy from Multiply? That was me. Nice to see you again. :)

    This is an awesome bridge. I will definitely enjoy crossing it (I'm lucky because I can conquer my fear of heights), but mostly because the view is gorgeous!

  6. Oh, I'd sure cross this... and my knees go weak with heights! How pretty! Thanks for the top 10 list. I've been on four... and it would be fun to tick them all off!

    Fabulous photos - but I'll not be crossing the bridge, as not only do I have a fear of heights, but even more so heights over water!!

  13. I saw this photo and froze to my chair, my mouth gaping open. Just this morning I was watching a Public Broadcasting System (PBS) special on Northern Ireland - and they showed this bridge. The commentator even made the cameraman follow him across!

    Wow, what a small world this is!
