Croessor - Bridge Recovery
 
Well the time finally came about and after weeks of planning we finally headed up to Croessor kitted up to the nines :)

The Bridge was originally installed as part of the rigging for the through trip but after a roof collapse about 3 years ago the bridge was lost to the depths.......until now :)

We managed to drag the bridge to dry land so that we could straighten it and inspect any damage

We then winched it over to the far side and started to bolt it back into place before re cabling some of the tie lines

Once finished there was time for a team shot before heading back up the ropes and out into the darkness
