Weardale branch line bridge over the River Skerne
As the River Skerne flows into increasingly industrial landscape towards central Darlington, its banks look far less cared for than just a short way upstream. The river is confined between concrete banks and passes under the equally neglected looking bridge carrying the branch railway to North Road station, Newton Aycliffe, Shildon, Bishop Auckland and eventually into Weardale. In my youth, such a bridge would have been much used by impecunious young rock climbers, but here a lot of bramble clearing would be needed. Perhaps public transport is good enough to get to some real outcrops - or maybe computer games have suppressed the urge to adventure ?
