[comp.sys.amiga.games] Lemmings - Taxing level 8 help!

HELP!

I'm stuck on level 8 - Taxing -

Its the level where you have 

   6 bridges,  1 climber, 1 blocker, 5 bombers, 1 pusher 

The "home" is on the far right and you have to build 5 bridges to get there.

My problem is how do I get through the wall of Arrows pointing to the left.
Since the pusher can't get through, and the climber won't turn back to the
left, how do I get rid of the arrow wall that prevents the rest of the
lemmings through?

P.s. You have to save 98% of the lemmings! 

Thanks!  Pam ... (Still losing sleep....!)

I don't remember exactly what this level looks like, but if you have an
extra bridge you can make a lemming change direction with it.  The land
past the arrow wall must be rough and bumpy for this to work.  When the
lemming is in a crevice or small valley between bumps, make it a builder.
If two or three of the bridge segments laid end up intersecting the ground,
the lemming will stop building and turn around.  This may or may not help
you on this level.

Good luck... now does anyone have any hints for Taxing 26?  :-)
