MORE than 1,000 motorcyclists “took over” the Severn Bridge on Sunday (October 11) in the annual Hoggin the Bridge ride.

The ride is organised by the Caldicot Motorcycle Club and it took more than half an hour for all the riders to cross the bridge.

Two, three and four-wheel bikes – along with one with a single wheel and caterpillar track – gathered outside the Gympansees disability support centre at Aust which is one of the good causes that has been supported by the event.

Many of the riders added fancy dress with characters such as Batman, Spiderman and Big Bird from Sesame Street.

The final destination was Caldicot with many bikes parked up at Caldicot School and entertainment at The Measure Inn.
