Drag along path (5)
I believe the answer is:
trail
This clue is a double definition.
'drag along' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'path' is the second definition.
(trail is a kind of path)
(Other definitions for trail that I've seen before include "Beaten path; track" , "Track - be behind" , "Drop behind" , "Forest path" , "Rough track blazed through wild or hilly country" .)
