Work has just restarted on An Teallach as part of our joint campaign to #savemountainpaths in Scotland.

The team from Cairngorm Wilderness Contracts Ltd were joined by Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland (OATS) volunteers earlier this week, as the next phase of path repair – which will continue over the winter months – kicked off.

OATS Volunteer Coordinator, Eva Kupska, said: “Our volunteers spent three days on An Teallach, working alongside experienced path builders. While the peaks got covered by snow, we were enjoying the sun at the lower section of the path.

“The main part of each day was filled with finding the correct rocks and then moving them, winching, digging, excavating burrow pits to obtain aggregate and then restoring those pits, landscaping, construction of cross drains, waterbars, stone pitching and many more different kinds of jobs involving mattocks, spades, pinch bars, buckets, lump hammers

“The volunteer group and the path builders put in an excellent amount of work – I hope they are all resting with their feet up now!
