Path, Pamphry The western end of the path over Rossie Muir is now fenced in and rough. There is a realistic chance that it will become blocked by whins.  The original track is visible on the left, behind the barbed wire.

Track, Rossie Moor The eastern end is a bit more defined than the western end of the path. The route is unobstructed at the moment, and you can get through on horseback. However the whins and broom mean business, and the path needs more traffic to keep it open.
