A TV star known for climbing historic buildings has been sizing up Middlesbroughs iconic Transporter Bridge before taking part in an abseil.
Dr Jonathan Foyle, who starred in the BBCs Climbing Great Buildings programme, will be descending the bridge in June as part of a Heritage Skills Initiative (HSI) fund raising event.
And on the day he will be joined by Kevin McCloud, of Channel Fours Grand Designs fame, to countdown volunteers bungee jumping off the bridge before the abseil down themselves.
The event takes place on Saturday, June 11 between 10am and 6pm at the Transporter Bridge.
