Image of the Month

Each month we will add an image taken from one of the EuroVelo routes.

February
The picture was provided by Martyn Brunt of Sustrans – the National EuroVelo Coordinator in the UK – and shows the last span of a brand new 300 metre long walking / cycling viaduct being winched into place.  The 24-metre high structure will be known as “Gem Bridge” and crosses the River Walkham near Tavistock, Devon on EuroVelo 1 (National Cycle Network Route 27).  Once opened it will open up another traffic-free section of the EV/NCN route which is currently on road.

January
To kick things off we have this fab photo of one of the most northerly points in the entire network – the end of EuroVelo 13 where it meets the Barents Sea on the Norwegian / Russian border.  It was taken last summer by Henrik Duus, who works for the National EuroVelo Coordination Centre in Norway, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.
