	As other's have said, it doesn't say how deep or how wide. I'm laughing because I some how missed where Jen said about the horse rolls eyes at self And I was so excited when I came up with that. LOL I think the clue is in the mechanical bit. That's a very specific way of putting it.

	The question says he couldn't swim so it has to be there was water in the river but he could wait till winter and cross when the river is frozen like lancs lass has mentioned.
Member Since: February 2006 Posts: 791 Send Message	LancsLass	Report	23 Sep 2008 18:50
	....or the river was frozen so he walked

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 673 Send Message	What if he just walked across as it does not say that the water was deep. Spud
