Enjoyed a day out today at the
Newcastle-Gateshead Bridge Festival. In particular the
Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) bridge making challenge. Some pictures below, also a big well done to the ICE staff for being so good...
Stop press (15/8) - Team-Little-Hamil won the runners-up prize:

 |
| Sixteen bits of paper, masking tape, a hole punch and some bolts - let the bridge building begin |
 |
| Start with your paper straws and one day you'll be doing the next Tyne Bridge |
 |
| The "Little-Hamils", is this the winning entry? |
 |
| Test it carefully to destruction |
 |
| Snap - I knew I should have added the steel bracing inside the top horizontal strut |
