Greta Bridge (A66)
Greta Bridge (A66)
In contrast to the elegant and much painted old bridge NZ0813 : Greta Bridge, the modern A66 dual carriageway crosses the River Greta a short way downstream, and carries a constant stream of noisy traffic, giving only the barest glimpse of the river from the slow lane (just enough for a canoeist in the passenger seat to get a quick estimate of the level). The river level as seen here is way too low for paddling, as this is an exciting river that needs a lot of recent rain to bring it to life.
