Yeah we did that with the crossing. We're in a predicament now because if we go back there I'd love to cross to get in, but then it's two days to dry the boots out, or a night with them by a fire which will probably damage them. (Just bought new boots).

I guess we could wear old pairs across and carry new ones, then dump the old ones and pick them up on the way back. Might do that actually, as we can nearly drive to the river.
