Track across Legerwood Hill Heading 4km southeast from Birkenside to the Gordon-Earlston road [A6109]. A lot of timber cutting has been carried out, with piles of cut timber, waiting to be taken away, and huge piles of the rest of the woodland heaped up along the side of the track, the like of which I have not encountered before.
