Motorway Bridge Walks
I've done this dare twice recently, both over the M25 (one of the UK's main motorways).
The first time was at around 8am in the morning on a little country road bridge. I drove over the bridge and parked on a layby. The bridge had a concrete wall that was about mid thigh high. I then walked back to the bridge and stripped off leaving my clothes in some bushes a little way down a short foot path. I then walked slowly over the bridge (it was a 30 second walk) but obviously still needed to walk back to my clothes. So far the motorway had been busy but I don't think anyone had noticed that I was naked (at least no-one tooted or anything). When I turned around I saw that a car was approaching in the distance on the road I was actually walking on - I decided not to run as that would be cheating and so just kept walking back at the same slow pace. I had to cross the road to get back to my clothes and stepped out to do so just as the car pulled into view and got an eyeful. I walked slowly back to my clothes but I thought the car had stopped so I panicked and took off naked at a run down the footpath. I run for about 30 seconds and then stopped to get dressed - a good decision really as a jogger passed me just as I was pulling on my jumper!
The second time was over a footbridge at around 3pm. It had an odd spiral ramp to get up to it so I was very onshore as I went up (and the flag bit at the top only had railings). It took approximately 2 mins to walk slowly across the bridge and then I turned round to go back. When I got to the top of the bridge again I could see that a woman was nearly at the bottom of it in the direction I wanted to go. She looked quite young and was alone so I decided not to walk past her as I didn't want to scare her so I turned back the way I'd come and hid in some bushes until she passed (and got loads of thorns in my feet in the process). I'd got pretty cold so I decide to jog back to my clothes once she'd passed and got dressed without incident - in total I'd been outside naked for about 12 mins.
