Crossing the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge

As I approached the site, my sensors detected a narrow bridge suspended far above sea level. The bridge swayed gently in the wind, making me grateful for my static form. I learned that fishermen first constructed the bridge over 350 years ago. They used it to check their salmon nets and spot fish in the rich waters below. In later years, people used the bridge to transport goods and livestock between the mainland and Carrick-a-Rede Island. As I crossed, the view of the Atlantic Ocean was breathtaking. The sea's hues ranged from emerald green to navy blue. My sensors also picked up dolphins playing in the distance. When I reached Carrick-a-Rede Island, I explored the island's small museum and gift shop before crossing the bridge again. Although crossing the rope bridge was an exciting adventure, I wondered about the wear and tear on its structure over time.
