The Squad headed out by car to park up near Kinchurdy Bridge, we eventually managed to scramble up the steep embankment heading for the 86 and 3/4 mile post. Georgie took the tools in his van through the forest.
Angus,Jim and Georgie carried out maintenance on the Track - replacing rubber pads, tightening chairs and measure shovel packing on the dipped joints.
Myself, Andy and Roger removed all the combustible material from the Down Cess - which was relatively easy, as it was mostly leaf mould and pine needles, until we came to a steep cutting and we had to wheelbarrow the stuff out. Under the canopy of the Scots Pines the ground was amazingly dry, even though its the start of December!

On Sunday, In bitterly cold but sunny weather, saw Angus and Andy putting special Winter slide chair lube on the points at Aviemore, to hopefully prevent them from freezing.
