The Merrick 

What an interesting ridge 🐕

Another lovely video they are all so watchable the music is nice Always enjoyable The last time we were up there a farmer landed hi very basic helicopter on top of the Merrick looking for his sheep then a cavalry of buggies arrived from the valleys below Great entertainment 👍

Thank you for posting Linda. Looks like you had a good day with the conditions. That was the first hill I ever climbed - with my parents when aged 5. Inspired a lifelong interest in the hills. Nostalgic memories. 🙏

myself & my 6 year old son walked up the Merrick 5 months ago. Its a a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing you video

Enjoy your holiday. Galloway was my teen stomping ground. Used to get the bus from Ayr and walk all over , camping etc. 42 years ago I spent a freezing night in Culsharg. No door or window frames then but a lot cleaner. A lightning storm had forced us in there. Bailed the next day for the house o'hill and the buses home. It is a very underrated area.

Great walk and video :) Thanks Linda, love the skylarks as well! What a lovely day you had.

Fabulous video. Very well edited and your dog is beautiful. 👏👏👏

Lovely walk and very descriptive . :-) Enjoy your summer.

Great to see this. One of my daughters recently moved to dumfries, and in may we climbed crifell, so the merrick would be a good follow up next time I visit her . Thank you

Been up the Merrick quite a few times but been a few years since my last visit. The last time the forest/montane slab was at the edge of the woods and the route up benyellary didn't look so eroded 😮

Great video. Merrick for historical Kirkcudbrightshire. Nice and snowy when I did it 🏔️

Nice one as always Linda

Just so good to see people out enjoying the precious Scottish wild. Thx for posting..

I camped up on the Merrick last year, it’s a lovely hill. Great views over to the coast. Hope you had a great holiday in D and G 😊

Hi, loved your last vlog well done on finishing the walk. Great that you didn’t have to encounter any more cows 🐄 🤭. I am totally with you in regards to being scared about getting tics. I ended up going on a walk at weekend and was waist high in thistles and grass and was sure I’d have some but thankfully not 😮‍💨. Shane about the poles do you think they make a big difference? I have some but don’t use them, maybe I should. Does your husband enjoy the walks with you and Brora too? Loved the clip of you with a wee glass of wine it’s ace you enjoy yourself too. I always add the walks you do to my list in all trails 🥰. At you were hoping Brora would jump in the water to clean himself off 😂. Looking forward to the next adventure. xx

I been up the Merrick.

Hi Linda we were up three Merrick on the 8th June , very very windy and cold needed gloves and hat on . Path is not very good at the beginning quite hard walking we thought. Not my favourite hill, but enjoying watching you and Brora tackle it , well done ,thank you for sharing 😊

Perfect timing. I'm planning a wildcamp on the Merrick this weekend. Bit of a virtual recce.
