Now it's August and we have returned safely from our Ultimate Adventure to celebrate the centenary of Girlguiding. There are so many people to thank and so many memories that we will have for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful to Girlguiding's pioneers for their actions 100 years ago which made our trip possible

The Chespeake Bay Bridge
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge (commonly known as the Bay Bridge) is a major dual-span bridge in the U.S. state of Maryland. Spanning the Chesapeake Bay, it connects the state's rural Eastern Shore region with the more urban Western Shore. The original span opened in 1952 and at the time, with a length of 4.3 miles (7 km), was the world's longest continuous over-water steel structure. The parallel span was added in 1973. The bridge is officially named the William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial Bridge after William Preston Lane, Jr. who, as governor of Maryland, initiated its construction.
We will be crossing the Bay via this bridge at least once during our visit to Maryland.
