Here's some pictures (for the newer guys that may not have seen them).. It's from our first attempt at a crossing in Westerport bay.

It feels slightly lighter but I think that might be the new type hand-hole..

It also seems to have a slightly deeper concave but I'm not 100% sure..

Also the tail rocker doesn't seem so sudden but it still has that slight hip in the rail where it starts.

I'll get both together one day and check for sure.

Hey DJ,
Just a thought, why not make it an overnighter ?
Day 1: 40k
Camp over night.
Day 2: remainder 25k
Make it a true adventure.
Ya can't beat a camp fire and a few ales.
P.s. Don't forget your baked beans (Blazing Saddles).



Blazing Paddles I meant. Here's the PPB boys on the overnighter. (Just click on you tube link)
