Perhaps thats because someone only wanted their fender hanger to have minor damage and lowered the tunnel pound accordingly? 😄😉

How were the bottom paddles on Farmers Bridge, I struggled with some of them on Sunday and Mrs-M couldn't do them.

I should have lowered the pound but forgot although I freely admit I left the fender hanger there on purpose so it could take the damage rather than the front corner 😀

We didn't have an issue with the paddles although a couple of the gates needed two of us to get them moving.

 

Camp hill on the other hand had me both feet off the ground jumping on a couple of them and they still weren't shifting.
