Perhaps he just stopped because he liked the view?

I often hope for a hold up on the bridge, so I can stop at the top and just enjoy the view. Otherwise there’s not enough time and a bit dangerous driving over and glancing both ways!

Aren’t we all guilty of that?  Even now we have our own boat and visit regularly, I can’t resist having a quick sidelong glance over the Postwick Viaduct as we pass over it, always hopeful of seeing a boat moving on the river!

How sad!

Guilty. Thelwall viaduct, every time - talk about a lost cause!

Guilty of this on pretty much every bridge I cross - over a river, railway or anything for that matter !

We too always look down at the river from Postwick looking for any boat movement  , often commenting it’s only 15mins to Stalham by car but 5+ hours by water

As soon as we reach Postwick we shout ‘boat!’

Doesn't need to be a low loader, years ago a Lysander 17ft going to a broads meeting leapt off it's trailer and impaled itself on the hand rails, (up river side of Hoveton bridge, the old flat topped metal overbridge not the current curved one), I was in the traffic for that one too.. Luckily on both occasions I was coming from the Coltishall direction.

Stop shouting at my boat please, it's getting paranoid. 

I look over postwick viaduct to make sure it's still where I left it and the right way up.
