There is a great day in the hills to be achieved by finding the |
|
GCs along the route from the parking in Glen Trool over |
|
Benyellary over Merrick back to Glen Trool. Since finding these |
|
old GCs, new ones have appeared. |
|
Start by parking near Bruce's Stone GC |
|
http://coord.inf |
|
o/GC1HMMD, head up the path towards Culsharg |
|
Bothy |
|
http://coord.inf |
|
o/GC29JTB, before ascending on to the summit of |
|
Benyellary and GC. Cross the ridge to trig pillar on top of |
|
Merrick |
|
http://coord.inf |
|
o/GC1M6TZ, your high point. Now drop down to |
|
Grey Man of Merrick Earthcache |
|
http://coord.inf |
|
o/GCPRGM by going west to avoid crags. |
|
Once EC found and recorded, pick up Buchan Burn to forest track |
|
back to parking. |
|
Or for a really big day out, after Merrick EC, find Loch |
|
Neldricken GC and Loch View GC before returning towards parking |
|
via View of Glen Trool GC. |
|
Big day on the hill. Wear midge repellent sunscreen. |
