Abstract: We review the existence of the infinite length self-avoiding walk in the half plane and its relationship to bridges. We prove that this probability measure is also given by the limit as $$ of the probability measure on all finite length walks $omega$ with the probability of $omega$ proportional to $$ where $|omega|$ is the number of steps in $omega$. The self-avoiding walk in a strip $z:0<Im(z)<y$ is defined by considering all self-avoiding walks $omega$ in the strip which start at the origin and end somewhere on the top boundary with probability proportional to $$ We prove that this probability measure may be obtained by conditioning the SAW in the half plane to have a bridge at height $y$. This observation is the basis for simulations to test conjectures on the distribution of the endpoint of the SAW in a strip and the relationship between the distribution of this strip SAW and SLE${}_{8/3}$.
