Every year when we come back in the summer, me and my lad ride from our house to Devils Bridge, strip off to our underpants and dive into the river. We have a swim until we've had enough, then dry out on the grass and ride home via the pub for a dinner.
We've been doing that for about ten years but last year we couldn't for obvious reasons. I'd be really happy if we could do it again this year, and now he's 17 he'll be on his own bike.
Do you jump off the bridge?
I have, but it was a fairly unpleasant experience, with a backdrop of potential death.
It's one of those things that you do once, then unless there is something wrong with you, you don't do it again.
I saw a few do it over the years. But the rocks look scary.
