Well, we need someone to get across... and I guess it boils down to Fionn or Osmod. They would carry some rope with them so that the others can get across. After the rope is on the other side, the three remaining men should be able to cross by holding on to it.... and so there'd be four people to man the raft back to the other shore.
There is only one problem with this plan as far as I can see. Did anyone remember to bring rope? it'd have to be a long rope as well... furthermore, whoever is crossing the river could tie the rope to the horse's saddle so that they can be kept mostly in course from the shore... as well as pulled back should their strenght waver.
Given that it'd be one horse and one man on the river and five horses to pull the rope at the other end, I think it's possible.... even more, if we can somehow use the pulleys to our advantage it could be even better!
