The Ultimate Bridge

Queensferry 2000
The Ultimate Bridge Cross 2002
Teenagers Changing the World
Some 40 teenagers and their leaders from Oldmachar (Bridge of Don),
Newhills
and Newmachar Churches took part in the 2002 "Ultimate Bridge
Cross",
raising over £1,000 for the charity Christian Aid. On Saturday 27 April
2002 they endured a hail storm walking across the Tay Road Bridge,
withstood strong winds on the Forth Road Bridge but enjoyed sunshine at
the Erskine Bridge, where they were filmed and
interviewed by a television crew for Christian Aid News. Videos of
Christian Aid's work in developing countries were shown on the coach as
was a video of the campaign "Trade for Life" that looks to
change the rules of trade that contribute to countries being poor in the
first place.
The total raised over all three bridges, Christian Aid's largest single
fund raising event in Scotland, looks set to break £100,000 for the first
time on Saturday.
