Path, Newcastleton Forest

Between a couple of roads, the path suffers here from being very slippery. I walked and enjoyed seeing the impressions of others' mishaps. Take care here.

The boundary of the Forestry Commission owned bit of Newcastleton according to the purple rubbish that ruins Ordnance Survey maps. A path along a ride joins two road ends with another road that runs up to the police mast on Larriston Fells. That road is by the older trees in the background.
