18/11/2024 Track Clearing. Leader: Phil Keene
The 2024/25 track clearing got off to a great start on 18 November with 8 highly skilled workers turning up for a work out
The weather was fine and tempered by that easterly wind coming over Swampy. We walked up Lower Swinespur over Neil Morrisons beautifully maintained highway and started our effort above the bushline. Graham T, Ross and Thomas Thurlow who joined us for his initiation headed away to work on Possumbusters to Porkies, such inviting names!
The balance of the team progressed directly on and up Upper Swinespur for about 300m above the intersection of the 3 tracks, before completing about 50% of the exit to Rollisons Rd and back downhill to the cars.
Batteries were re-charged at Blend with tired but satisfied track workers turning the lights out.
