So we were out of the house at 9:15 to meet up for a 9:30 start. It was a bit of a gray drizzly morning but it wasn&#8217;t too wet or cold so every was reasonably happy.<\/p>\n<p>We did the first half of the walk without incident although there were a few wet feet due to somewhat inadequate footwear. However, nothing too bad happened. We all stopped at the usual resting spot, had a bit of a snack and myself and one of the other leaders made up a simple rope-crossing between two trees so that the lads could try out a very basic bridge. That was a bit of fun and we continued on after that.<\/p>\n<p>We decided we had enough time to build a slightly more permanent bridge so we set to and found a few logs to build a bridge across a ditch. The lads were able to help at this and we had a great time at it. We finished this off with a rope tied between trees as a hand-rail and made a nice little crossing<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/cartrongarrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSCN0124.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"162\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/cartrongarrow.com\/?attachment_id=162\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/cartrongarrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSCN0124.jpg?fit=1600%2C1200\" data-orig-size=\"1600,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;COOLPIX L820&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1394363916&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.1&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;450&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSCN0124\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/cartrongarrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSCN0124.jpg?fit=300%2C225\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/cartrongarrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSCN0124.jpg?fit=474%2C356\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-162\" alt=\"DSCN0124\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/cartrongarrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSCN0124.jpg?resize=474%2C355\" width=\"474\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/cartrongarrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSCN0124.jpg?resize=1024%2C768 1024w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/cartrongarrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSCN0124.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/cartrongarrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSCN0124.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/cartrongarrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSCN0124.jpg?w=948 948w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/cartrongarrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSCN0124.jpg?w=1422 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After that, we finished off the walk without too much incident although we did spot a few frogs in one of the streams on the way back which was quite nice for the lads. We finished off crossing the stile I built back in the summer. I must add a couple more of these throughout the forest.
