Road traffic was carried by a ferry which landed on the slipway to be seen close by the foot of the bridge on the Cornwall side, the landing on the Devon side was somewhat to the left way off this picture. Postcard from the Paddy Bradley Collection. Walking the Royal Albert bridge Saltash Peter Butt Pictures of an amazing walk by Peter Butt. Do you have a head for heights - if not you'd better skip Peters article. N.B. You will need to scroll through two other very interesting articles to get to Peter's hair raising account. P.S. I've just phoned Peter Butt to let him know that his walk over the RAB is being recalled today. It was a fantastic trip, he said, luckily he didn't trip. One memory in his mind is when one member of the party had his safety helmet blown off in the wind - they watched it spiralling down until it hit the water far below!!!!! KJ P.P.S.
