Belgian arch bridge

You'll have spotted that I've syndicated some great little blogs and news sites and popped them in the left sidebar there. Well this just turned up in the Ropes and Poles blog. Hells teeth - we have got to build ourselves one of these!

Belgian arch bridge -
This bridge was built at last year's Belgian Jamboree, by members of Ploeg Technieken, who have featured previously with the cloverleaf lashing. Kim notes that this was built 'only with manpower, no cranes, winching ... just people with hands ;-) '

This is a large and complex project, built from a series of smaller assemblies- see, for example, the 'ladders' that interlock to form the arches in the middle photograph below.
