Thank you. I was wondering if I'd put it wrong but I've never seen it on paper only in speech.

It can be used to describe an action however so you're not too far off. By fording the river you may forge ahead. Funnily enough now that i look the NYT website has:

You can “ford” a raging river. Or you can “forge on” or “forge ahead.” But you can't “forge” a river.

It took me a while to figure out which word was wrong and what word it's supposed to be but The Sound of Music helped:

Climb ev'ry mountain

Ford ev'ry stream

As is so often the case, Sir Terry Pratchett did it first and best. In this case, Troll Bridge

wtf, capitalist troll??

[WP] "First of all calling me a "filthy troll" is very hurtful, and second of all I put all the labor and expense to build and maintain this bridge on my own, so I think it's quite reasonable to charge a toll unless you want to forge the river yourself!"
