Would You Like to Pass Through this Hanging Bridge?

Twin Hanging Bridge in Bohol, Philippines

Do you have the courage? I don't. It was this Hanging Bridge in Bohol, Philippines, where we had our short vacation. I didn't accompany my relatives crossing this bridge as I was scared that in the middle of this bamboo bridge I wouldn't be able to move my legs. Instead, I just took photos and videos of them. Well, it was not much of a challenge for me. Is it a challenge for you to cross this Hanging Bridge? We have a new month again and I hope everyone of us has a wonderful month to discuss. Have a great weekend! Good night!

I would cross it, but I'd be screaming all the way. Happy March to you. You must be back in Germany now.

I am not a fan of bridges but that bridge looks pretty sturdy and would therefore not mind crossing it.

It is a sturdy bridge made of bamboos and steel @allknowing. So you would crossed this Hanging Bridge.

It wouldn't really have worried me but I can understand that it is very scary to some.

@thelme55 I guess we are more aware of the risks now and not so sure of our strength.

So, you would go in that bridge @JudyEv? When I was a child I didn't fear heights. In fact, I climbed coconut trees and other trees in our yard. I just don't know why I have this fear now since I got old.

I don't think I would have a problem doing that. I've done a lot more challenging things. This would be easy for me I think. I don't think I'll ever find my way over to that side of the world though.

I've seen videos of other crazy bridges around the world . . . this one actually doesn't seem too bad (but of course I can't see how high up it is or how sturdy it really is). I would cross this one, but you bet I'd be hanging on to the side rails. If this were swinging (as it is bamboo), I might change my mind .

I have been on one in British Columbia and it was scary. It would be a long way to fall. I think that I looked down once and that was it lol. But there was a lot of family on the bridge so if the bridge broke... at least we would all be together lol!!!

I had to cross some similar bridge about two decades ago, only because someone who organized that camping trip had a weird sense of humor. I didn't like the experience, still don't.

There are similar bridges in the Scottish highlands were I live. In fact, some bridges are even scarier!

Not sure, I feel easily dizzy, you need to give me a good reason to make me cross this bridge. Something interesting to see on the other side ?

I feel easily dizzy too that is why I didn't do it and besides that, there was nothing else on the other sides of the bridge except souvenirs for sell for the tourists. Not challenging at all for me @topffer. Maybe, if there were beautiful plants and butterflies on the other side, I would go.

I agree with you, I would rather take pictures of it instead of trying to cross on it, I do not like heights at all.

You are brave. Hopefully you can find a way to take a cruise to the Philippines, at least that way you're not high up in the air.

The same with me @rebelann. I don’t like heights but I still fly to the Philippines because I have no other way to be back home. Scary but I have to endure it. Thank you.

@rebelann Thank you. Flying to the Philippines is the fastest way to travel, at least 14hours in one flight.
