Underneath the Orwell Bridge. There appears to be a gap the whole length of the bridge. Before this monstrosity was built we used to ride motorcycles down this way to the shore and even back into Bridgewood and Hallowtree. It is quite surprising that these days you cannot leave anything around without locking it as we would leave our motorbikes on the shore and go swimming. Nobody ever touched our bikes or guns as they knew they were ours. These days anything goes as soon as you turn your back. We had two scout huts on Hallowtree and one we had to share but the other one and our boat The Typhoon were ours and only our gang used them. Sometimes we would hitch up to a barge and get a ride to Harwich then we had to find another barge to hitch a lift back on. I was shocked to return to Hallowtree after travelling abroad to work and discover the place had been burnt down. When I was a kid that would have been a cause of a massive war but these days the kids do not have any sense of ownership as they always have their parents with them when they camp and once parents take control then ownership is lost.
