A track well travelled.

This was a part of The Dava Way on a cold January day. It used to be a railway track running between Forres and Grantown-on Spey, but thanks to Dr Beeching's axe, the trains stopped running on it.
Now, thanks to the super human efforts of a group of dedicated volunteers, it's been made good once again, but this time, for walkers and cyclists.
Who'd have thought it! In my Telling Tales book I remember a time when the railway line provided a link between those two towns. Today, there's no  such public transport so unless you've a car and want to make that journey, you'll just have to get on your bike or warn your walking shoes they're in for a twenty two mile hike.
