Track, Muirfield Waymarked as the Hawick Circular Ride, but little sign of recent use. There were some old baked hoofprints probably dating back to the run up to the Common Rides, but the vegetation is firmly in control now.

This is not a geograph - too close to the gridline and too dark. Unfortunately it does not fit anymore. I intend to get it correctly classified when the site is repaired.
