Bridge Swingers (London U.K)

I got the idea after watching The Lost Boys.
Remember the scene where they hang off the bridge as a train thunders overhead?
I did it with a few friends here in London and all I can say is, what a rush!

It's best done from a height and helps if you can find something soft to land in, unless you're uber-manly and are on a death wish.

There's a bridge that runs across the Thames in London city centre.
Any Brits that know the South Bank, will know the bridge outside of the Embankment; well, it's all been rebuilt but there are plenty of places to do it across the Thames.


Other variations and the more common, is to get harnessed up and tie the rope to the edge of the bridge and then throw yourself outwards and swing through the viaduct.
It's a blast.

I recommend it to all you adrenal junkies!
