Path Maintenance

photo: washout of the embankment section near Dunphail

This washout of the path occurred
Autumn 2009. It was
repaired by our vounteers

The Dava Way Association has just taken delivery of a new set of finger posts for the route. This is part of an upgrade to support the launch of The Moray Way (A circular comprising the Dava Way and parts of the Moray Coast Trail and The Speyside Way). Additional finger posts are being installed at Huntly's Cave, Dava, Dunphail and the Half Davoch Road. Other posts are to be adjusted to indicate distances to the town centres rather than the outskirts of Forres and Grantown.

Work will be starting in September starting with Huntly's Cave. Beyond signage there is always work to be done improving drainage and the path surface. Peathillock area is the priority. Why not join us for exercise and fun? Volunteers always welcome, email our volunteer co-ordinator.

Dava Way Summer Stroll June 19th 2010

Strollers enjoy refreshments
at the Dunphail Breathing Place

The Dava Way Summer Stroll took place on Saturday June 19th 2010. This was a daytime version of 2009's successful overnight Ghost Train walk which attracted over 100 walkers. This was a smaller event with 21 walkers. Although a choice of direction and a choice of lengths was available, all but one chose to walk the full 24 miles from Grantown to Forres. As in 2009, refreshments in the form of tea/coffee/soft drinks and sausages/burger rolls were provided at the Dunphail Breathing Place. Once again the weather was kind, warm and dry.
