The new ramp in Varen for disabled access

We have been told this ramp has been made in Varen to give disabled access to the river if going in a canoe. We did have a ramp there before.
With this one I cannot help but imagine someone in a wheelchair having trouble with the steep slope. I have visions if I had been a child of making a bogie ( one of those planks of wood set on wheels ) and putting it at the top and flying down in my cossie to be catapulted in to the water. Malc thinks roller skating down doing a big flip  at the bottom would be fun.
If you have an imagination you can see the kids  will enjoy it!
I would imagine if you put your canoe at the top it would slide down the ramp of its own volition.
Someone asked yesterday if we had had it done  for the regatta!!
