Great vid and indicative of why Murray is the finest youtuber of this genre, you had more information in that 15 minutes than the others do combined and secondly he's never sold out, flogging this that and the other. Unmissable content.

Thanks Kevin - very nice of you to leave such a nice comment, I do my best , so many good YTers out there though - I enjoy lots of varying channels :) If only I had more time to spend on my vids as alway try to improve when I can :) Thanks again - very much appreciated Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

I tried it a few weeks ago. From the moment I came out of the woods I was in the clouds. The wind was blowing, the visibility was about 30 meters and after the first summit the raincover of my backpack came of 3 times and needed my sticks to stay up on my feet. So I decided it would be saver to turn around. So it is nice to see your walk up to the summit.

@colinbrown8740 Год назад

Thanks for this Murray. Apologies for the late arrival of this comment as we were in Blackpool for a few days!. Personally want to thank you for your videos and photography as it has changed my outlook in life. It's really beneficial that your channel is constantly evolving into the next generation and it's really nice your son is enjoying his father's experiences as well. Your channel has been inspirational for lots of folk and that includes myself. Keep up the great videos mate, your channel is the best

I love the Galloway names. I've had lunch on the Rig of the Jarkness and crossed the Buckdas of Cairnbaber. When I climbed Kirrereoch and Tarfessock (recommended) I realised why the Awful Hand is so named - the hills look like giant fingers or knuckles.

Great video and a good hill. We did it pre-covid and had a wet day from Benyellary onwards. The Bothy was in a a poor state and the path through the woods was quite slippery, I seem to remember. I did an MTB bikepack trip round the Galloway Forest last year and had much better views. Thanks for sharing.

@hikingbikingscotland1267 Год назад

Nice one Murray . I didn't know The Merrick was the highest peak south of Ben Lomond . Every day's a skool day 😁

@lyndseywilson9462 Год назад

Great day out Murray. Really enjoyed the classic video takes. The Merrick been on the list for me a long time yet still havent got there, despite living in the Scottish Borders for years. I recommend the Moffat and Tweedsmuir hills, White Coomb, Carrifran and Hart Fell, from Gameshope. You pass through Rotten Bottom, so some cracking names there too. The other direction takes you to Broad law from Talla almost as high as the Merrick. Or there is Culter Fell and Hangingstone Hill near Biggar !. My local fells and great days out. You can go all day without seeing a soul...and the views are vast there too on a clear day.

@ScotlandsMountains Год назад

Thanks Lyndsey - the only time I have explored these was when bagging the corbetts - sounds a excellent place and I’ll need to go and explore more and find rotten bottom 😂👍 Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

It was Alans last Corbett, I met Alan in Rattagan YHA whilst munroing. I try to follow your advice start cold be bold, especially on the bike. thanks again

Havnt watched it yet but I guesses the Merrick . That was officially my first ever hike on NEW YEARS DAY 2021.

@o.bsoutdoors3871 Год назад

We really enjoyed this video Murray, the Merrick is certainly a fascinating mountain, think we were very lucky to get views the day we climbed it. Great to hear you touch on the unusual names of the awful hand range, something we found really fascinating too😊👍. Lovely to see you out with your son again, he certainly seems to be pickling up the love of the hills from his dad😊👍. Fantastic video as ever!

Morning Murray, ah the glorious Scottish mist, how I miss it....! Just for your info, I used to work on the ‘Rig of Doom’ in the North Sea for many years, not the same as your Rig of Doom, but at least yours has a better view...! Another great vid, really enjoying the content.

@rascott1970 Год назад

@ibrstellar1080 Год назад

Thanks for another great video and these hills would be glorious in the summer and the bogs would dry up making it better for longer days and the views would be rather vast on a clear day.

@ScotlandsMountains Год назад

Thanks Ibr, I think after a dry spell would be ideal, but TBH the path up the Merrick was not too bad (in comparison to the SOM walk the day before :)) Thanks for watching ATB Murray

@MegaCraigr Год назад

@@ScotlandsMountains Shalloch on Minnoch is boggy even mid-summer. Great video, i've probably done Merrick about a dozen times over the years and think only have about 3-4 ascents where i have had a view from the top. The route via Loch Valley past the lochs is better, but is pretty boggy too with a steep ascent of the Merrick from Loch Enoch.

@outlawedlandscapes Год назад

Hi Murray, great to see my local hills on your channel! I recently camped up on the Merrick and as always, the clag rolled in. I've been up there 6 or 7 times now and there's only been a couple of occasions where visibility has been decent - I think it's something to do with it being the only range close to the sea around here, so the weather seems to do its own thing up there 😂 Looks like you visited Culsharg on a relatively tidy day - it's usually a bit of a tip!

@ScotlandsMountains Год назад

There wasn’t any litter (or anything !) in the bothy TBH - a bit bare but a refuge if the weather turned 👍

@outlawedlandscapes Год назад

@@ScotlandsMountains the highest point in Orkney would be Ward Hill in Hoy. If you add in the hike up to see the Old man of Hoy it makes a whole day hike. Definitely worth doing if you’re ever up this way. There’s information on the route on the walk Highlands website.👍

@IanTupmanOutdoors Год назад

Good to see you've managed to get down our way eventually Murray. The Galloway Corbetts are not the hardest but they take you into some of the wildest, wettest and most boggy terrain in Scotland. Many of the names reflect a mixture of the Old Norse and Scottish Gaelic languages and give the area an eerie atmosphere, especially when you're wild camping in the middle of nowhere. This is from a trip a couple of years ago for anyone who's interested in the area ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lX8iFRFIhag.html Cairnsmore of Carsphairn next? ATB

It's certainly a nice walk and pity u's didn't get the views from the summit. I think u underestimated the climb from the stats when u reached the summit. I was thinking it was over 800m and a quick check says 843m. As always I enjoyed watching and look forward to next week's adventure
