Wow, the scenery from Raiders Road Forest Drive to the Otter Pool and keeping on driving in the Forest Park was especially stunning. I like the idea of having a drive that allows you to see things without needing to hike as sometimes I just want a day of sightseeing as a rest day from hikes and these types of things are perfect. Also really good for people who are less mobile as they don't miss out. I was surprised to hear the road is open in the peak school holidays - wondering if snow may close it to cars then instead of it being too crowded perhaps? The Merrick hike looks cool, if it's the next video, I'm looking forward to it! 🤞
It was a wonderful drive for sure. Great to be able to see so much - like you say a great idea in that you drive about 10 miles but have plenty of opportunity to stop off for some mini adventures along the way. Merrick hike coming next week, it's a good one 😀
Such a shame.... I gave up on the series as I couldn't stand the shouting / F1 commentary. Google tried me again but same problem. A real pity as they look great guides.
Sorry about that. It didn't help that my mic was also on the wrong mode making everything sound a bit baseless. You could try my other big road trip in Scotland when I drove the North Coast 500 --> bit.ly/mwt_NC500
Thanks for the video, Matt. My wife, the dogs and me are hoping to get a lodge in Balminnoch, so we're looking for ideas of how to spend our time in the surrounding area - bearing in mind we have 2 dogs in tow. I'm ashamed to say that in over 60 years in Scotland I don't know this area at all, so your video will help. It was all going so well until you tried to say "loch"...but we won't hold that against you. 😂. Thanks matey👍
I’ll get some pronunciation practice in before my next trip! 😂 glad you enjoyed the video & hopefully it helps you with your planning. It s a wonderful part of the country so I’m sure you’ll love it! Have a great time 👍
I liked the part about Murray's cottage, being in a location that has not changed. Just the way it used to be back then as well. I wish it would be possible to walk around in the past, virtually, on location.
Yes I have often thought of that - it's incredible how much the world has changed in a decade let alone a century. I bet it would be like a different world if we could somehow be teleported back.
Hi Del, thanks for the comment, glad I could show you around. I really enjoyed the whole SWC300 trip but it was nice on this day to get out of the towns and villages and find some untouched areas. Very relaxing and just what I needed after so much driving! Hopefully you'll make it there at some point, I'm sure you'll love it! Thanks for watching.
That was really good! I used to live in Galloway (near Stranraer) but had to move away for work fairly recently. I thought I knew the place. But lots there I haven't seen. The damn at Clateringshaws loch is a hydro-electric power station by the way.
Thanks Alex, glad you enjoyed the video. It's a wonderful area isn't it! I'm sure there's lots still to discover. Thanks for the info regarding the dam, very interesting. 👍
