Heading to the second dam
This dam is constructed from cement and rocks
It's smaller and easier to cross
On on!
The runners pause for a photo taken by Tender Vittles
On on again
The third check dam is also of rock and cement constuction (there's a plentiful supply of rocks round here)
A pause for a photo
Interestingly, this dam has a concrete face on it's upstream side to protect the rock construction from erosion.
A steep path leads up to the main (and walker's) path from the monastery
Come along Natalie, it's a beer stop
