Ærsceaft Brycg, Nædercynne - a photo on Flickriver

            CCCXI
A Child's life

Every year in Nædercynne the children take part in the bridge jumping competition off of Ærsceaft Brycg into the Nædercynne River. 

During the warmer session in Nædercynne (the city is a in a tropical climate and stays warm all year round) the competition takes place from the highest bridge over the river.  It has been long tradition after an ancestor of the city Aldin and Ælle had a jump off shortly after the foundation of the important trading city.  Over the Ældus (centuries to you and me) the jump off became tradition and today is enjoyed by those taking place as well as their parents who joke about past competitions.  Some mothers don't enjoy quiet as much these days.

Once the children have done their jump into the deep river they have a short swim down to the harbour. 

Ærsceaft Brycg is one of the oldest bridges in the city connecting the two main parts of the city.  Today the bridge connects the fortreding, where the poor live, to the Anwealda's castle.  The bridge remains closed through out the year other than for this competition.

(Anyone familiar with Stari Most, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, may notice where I got my inspiration from!)
