Middlesbrough Cricket Club - Cricket in Middlesbrough can be traced back to a surprisingly early date. An epic poem describing a game between Middlesbrough and Stokesley dated 1843 has survived, but it could not be argued that either side belonged to an organised club. By the early 1850's there were two sides being run in the town, playing their cricket on fields in the vicinity of Grange Road and Commercial Street. These two teams amalgamated and formed Middlesbrough Cricket Club, under the presidency of Dr Richardson in 1855.

High on adrenalin, a waiting boat will pluck you from the air and whisk you to dry land. When you arrive at the location you will register at the bridge visitor centre where you will be required to complete a membership form. You will then be weighed, allocated the appropriate jump chord and harnessed before completing the 210 steps to the top of the bridge. Once at the top you will be greeted by our professional jump crew, here a number of double checks are made of your weight, jump chord selection and waist harness before your ankle harnesses are fitted. You will then be passed to the jumpmaster who will double check everything again before talking you through your jump. Now all you have to do is jump!
