Sorry yeah, used a chainsaw, faaar too lazy to try to split it by hand! Fair play to you for making all your own rungs etc!

 Don't have much of a choice as I don't have access to milled timber. I do like the natural look it gives my builds though, even if it is time consuming. Looks like some cracking stuff you're building there, how long do you propose the trail to be once finished?

 Yeah, your natural stuff does look very nicely made! Not sure on length, we're about halfway along the planned route til we enter the woods, and then maybe the same length again in them.

 Yeah, one log split for the "up" stringers, one for the "down" stringers.

 Wheeeey
