Forests Now! is proud to present EXCLUSIVE shots of bridge protestors in action at the very top of the notorious Batman bridge over the Tamar river.
Over the last few days, radical protestors have occupied the top of the infamous Batman Bridge to make a point that we refuse to give any oxygen to (refreshing that SOME media outlets have some real ethics isn't it?). The protestors can clearly be seen at the top of the bridge pylon, impeding people going about their lawful business.
Police moved swiftly and had the protestors down in just a few days, opening the bridge to 'lawful use' by others who needed to occupy the top of the tower.
Just a thought, but shouldn't protestors try to make their point without creating such massive inconvenience to other lawful users of the bridge structure. Their signs (see photo) might distract motorists, who could swerve violently into the path of oncoming traffic thereby threatening a disaster in the making. Their encampment, clearly visible at the top of the pylon, was also preventing other lawful users from accessing the top of the pylon.
The protestors have now been charged by police and Forests Now! stands ready to provide its EXCLUSIVE photos as evidence for a modest fee.
Post another win for Forests Now! A landmark in photojournalism.

So that's the Batman bridge. I personally haven't seen it as I reside in Northern Queensland but it looks like a helluva climb.
What do they use those glass gripping suction thingies or what?
Well done Forests Now!
On the scene and armed with film, ready to show the world what's happening, when it's happening.
Whew, that's some climb alright.
Where do they get these people with these skills?
And how do you get your reporters onto the scene so quickly.
Well done, Forests Now! Always an inspiration to us.
Thanks again.
We received this note today..."After a very brief look at the image on this page, it is apparent that you have never personally seen the Batman bridge. Because if you had, you know that what your displaying as your 'exclusive shot' isn't even the Batman bridge. There is no house or grounded boats under the bridge, and it doesn't eminate from the side of a cliff like that. Keep up the good work! signed Dave"
Well "Dave" or whoever you are. You can't expect us to take the word of one man stacked up against a responsible, quality media outlet like Forests Now! surely?
No, we'll wait until there's more 'evidence' before we risk putting misinformation out into the public domain.
Anyway, if that's not the Batman bridge, how do you explain the climbers?
I am from overseas looking and most impressed I am with your fantastic story on protest on bridge of Batman. I really like the photo of the bridge in question, it reminds me of my native Norway also. I wishing our Norwegian sites were of this quality.
When I visit, I shall look for this bridge and wishing to also photograph.
I am one of the protesters on the Batman Bridge & as you well know the photo displayed is not the Batman Bridge.Norway perhaps?Goodonya.Andrew
