NB: There is no step-free access to the Forth Rail Bridge and you will need a good level of fitness to complete the tour, as the Bridge has a considerable amount of narrow metal walkways and steps. You will still win travel to and accommodation in Edinburgh (as described above), if you are unable to take up this option.
The Forth Rail Bridge tour may need to be cancelled at short notice for safety reasons, given heavy rain or strong winds. In this instance, if the winner wishes, we will attempt to arrange an alternative date for the tour but would not be able to pay towards travel or accommodation if a second trip is required. |
