Can some kind person tell me the clearance under the Ffestiniog Railway bridge when heading up to Cwmorthin from Tanygrisiau?

The trusty Pinz is 8ft-0ins. (Metric muck not spoken here.) I don't want to have to grease the roof and I can't be ar**d taking Dowty props to jack the bridge up !;D

Thanks.

Streetview has the bridge as 7'-6" (if I've got the right bridge).

Oh dear... one out of ten for observation ! I should have spotted that. Thanks Blobber! It's many moons since I've been up there. (Pathetic excuse No.354b) :- Thanks all.

Or you could take the same pproach as here:

Note the 'high' kerbs. In fact the road was lowered so trucks taking art works up to Manod during WWII could get under (so long as tyres were deflated).

Been injured while at work and are not to blame?

Get over it.
