With holidays etc only a few of us met at Boat of Garten, Georgie had already loaded up her "truck" with the requisite tools and off we headed for Fisherman's crossing.
A couple of dipped joints near the 90 mile post were just a warm up, the main event was some half a mile away near Lynchurn 2 level crossing, where above Andrew and Jeremy no doubt discussing their former mountaineering conquests of the visible snow capped peaks of the Cairngorms.
After much huffing & puffing and the dark art of Measured Shovel Packing, the concave joints are now convex, albeit briefly, as rail traffic will soon smooth it out to be perfectly level.
Luncheon was had in the relatively warm environs of Broomhill Porters Room, Georgie gave us the light task of spreading the ash on the Up cess just South of Broomhill bridge, which had recently been disturbed by trenching for cables.
Thanks to all the aforementioned and Fergus (the fishplate fiend) who joined us after his track inspection and yes he replaced one and left a further two for Georgie to attend to!
