Remote section of Kurdistan trail (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

distant

'remote' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'section of kurdistan trail' is the wordplay.
'section of' indicates a hidden word.
'DISTANT' is hidden within 'kurdistan trail'.

(Other definitions for distant that I've seen before include "Remote in time or place" , "Unfriendly; far off" , "cool" , "Far away" , "Aloof" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
