Just a note for those extending the WH route over the Kips (Stage 5) - quite straightforward but when you descend onto the main track, if you want to follow the path indicated on the OS map that lies below Hare Hill above Logan Burn, be aware that it is just an unmarked vehicle track and quite faint at that. It's just before the Red Gate so if you go through the gate and start to descend to Bavelaw you've gone too far. Also it's been very dry this June but 'normally' I would expect this to be rather boggy. It's quite a shortcut compared to descending all the way to Bavelaw/Threipmuir however.
