It's a 2-1/2-hour walk east along the south bank of the Chavali River before the group gets to the south side of Hallen's Ferry. Here the Chavali River grows shallow for a short stretch, twin rows of mismatched wooden pilings protrude from the water. This was originally intended to be the site of a bridge that would cross the river and continue the road south along the edge of the Churlwood, but plans for its construction fell apart after the pilings were driven into the river. Yet the Covers are tenacious, and rather than abandon this handy link to the south side of the river, a resident of the cove took it upon herself to set up a ferry service that uses a barge attached to a set of ropes hung between the pilings.

There is a footpath that heads south away from the river, and farther into the Churlwood.

What now?
