Anyone planning to go up on to the Humber Bridge for an afternoon convoy would be advised not to bother for the time being. The east footpath has been closed for some time and the response to my enquiry told me this would be the case for some considerable time. It will probably stay closed until the end of the "painting season" which could be mid to late October. As with most things in the UK the user can like it or lump it.
Cheers
Simon
