Hopefully it will be removed as they are working there all week - which also means the access paths from below the viaduct may not be useable at times (it is possible to go further up the road & walk down the path directly to the picnic site - not that it's any easier)

2 trees on Erme just above viaduct

Sunday 29.4.12

Two large trees about 30 metres apart are blocking the whole river just above the viaduct.
Definite portage. Easy eddy river right before should be no problems. Might be an issue for swimmer especially in high water.

Yea, we saw these yesterday morning too.

Probably worth a quick scout on the way up to the get in. But as you say, easily avoidable.
