- A fabulous hike up the highest peak in Southern Scotland on a beautiful sunny day ! 😎
Good evening guys, what an absolutely breathtaking walk, from the the low level forest walk up into the wondeful mountain tops, This veiws at 6.55 wow! The cracking little trig too. Loves some of the names and lochs you could see too, really fab stuff guys, right up our yea guzzling alley! The Howe of the Cauldron looked amazing, another walk for another day hey guys! What a day indeed 🤗♥️ loved the stream pitstop too, and the beautiful Fox Moth, always a treat. The Bruces stone was a great share too, dont think we had seen that before either. Thanks for the video you two, have a great weekend, Ceri and Kat ☕👍🤗♥️
Hey Ceri and Kat, thank you so much for the fab comments guys, means a lot coming from you two🙏. This was actually one of our favourite hikes ever, such a perfect day, we have done higher mountains but this one was just special, looking across at the ridge route over to the merrick was just gorgeous, our first time visiting the Galloway Hills but we will be back without a doubt. We actually had the majority of the walk to ourselves which was really special. Can thoroughly recommend this area if you guys get the opportunity, so much history Kat can explain i am sure much better than we did😆👍. Yes the Howe of the cauldron were can see that as a future video title!😆👏. Take care and have a wonderful weekend guys

Hey Debs! Thank you as always for leaving us such amazing comments, it really does make our day😊👏. So glad you enjoyed our little video, and we could bring some sunshine to rainy Devon today. This was probably one of our favourite hikes so far, it was stunning and so exciting to find a completely new area to explore. Aw we would love a pond, we were up in the lakes last weekend and we walked past a pond and then realised the ground was moving! Loads of tiny little frogs hopping about, so cute!😍🐸. It took us ages to get passed we had to tread so carefully so we didn't step on any of them! We get the maps using an app called relive, it's really easy to use you just start and stop with one button and then save it to your phone, you should give it a go👍. We are really sorry to hear toto isn't well. Hope you can get out again soon. We have a couple of your videos saved to watch so will look forward to those🤗. Take care and have a nice weekend. Big hugs, Shell and Pete x

Thank you for taking the time to come to our wee corner Scotland. Very happy that you enjoyed walking our wee hill. Haste ye back. Rob.
What a beautiful part of the world you live in! We fell in love with dumfries and Galloway, it is so quiet and peaceful, and the scenery and hiking is fantastic, a real hidden gem! 💎
Thank you so much for watching
All the best
Shell and Pete😊🙏
What a beautiful day for hiking. Awesome viewpoint from the top of the summit, the reward is well worth the effort!!
This was a day we will always remember🥰. Our first time hiking in this area, it really was a stunning day with amazing views. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch some of our older videos guys, we really appreciate it 😊👍
Great again When young cycled hundreds of mile around Dumfries @ Galloway but never climbed a hill Crazy names "The rig of Jarkness " is a good one.. Galloway a wild place , many many thanks
Once again thank you so much for watching, we are so glad you are enjoying our videos of Dumfries and Galloway. It is a place we always feel a pull together return too, we would even love to move there one day🫶. The Merrick was a fantastic hill with some amazing views from the top. We loved all of the 'Harry Potter' names, made the place even more special😊.

This vlog brings back some good memories of my own hike to the summit of the Merrick. I remember reaching the first peak (Benyellary) and thinking I was there - then realising I had to head down a little before walking back up towards the actual summit. Great hike! You had far clearer views from the top than I had.
Hi Matt,
Yes it is a fantastic hike up the merrick isn't it, we were so lucky with the weather that day😊🌄. We are hoping to return to the Galloway forest this spring for another hike, possibly a wild Camp 🏕🤞. Glad we could bring back memories of your own hike in this beautiful place. Thanks so much for watching, all the best, Shell and Pete😊👊👍
I did this route in September - atrocious weather, gale forece winds, stinging heavy rain and dense cloud cover. So - it was nice to see what the walk actually looks like - stunning, will try and plan in a return trip for a nicer day.
Hi Ed, sorry to hear the weather gods were not smiling on you on your first hike up the Merrick. Hopefully you will enjoy the views on your return hike. It really is a stunning mountain and surrounding area, we would love to do it again ourselves. Thanks very much for watching😊👍
Absolutely brilliant footage 👏 thanks so much for posting. Heading here tomorrow and so looking forward to it. 😀
Hi Kim, thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comment 😊 🙏. What a fantastic mountain the Merrick is, and the surrounding Galloway forest is just stunning too🤩. You have certainly picked a good day for it tomorrow 🌞 . Enjoy and thanks again, Shell and Pete
@@o.bsoutdoors3871 hi Shell and Pete I m so looking forward to after seeing you wonderful footage. Been in the area a few times but not as far down as Glentrool. Enjoy your weekend 😎
Thank you. My wife and I plan to do it this year 2024 !
We are so glad you found our video useful. Good luck with your own Merrick climb, fingers crossed you have good weather and are able to experience those stunning views 🤩👍
You got a terrific day. Hope the forest stretch wasn't too difficult. fairly safe to ascend in the snow too - with the right gear. 😁
Wow it would look amazing in the snow up there! 🤩🏔☃️ ❄️. We must have a trip back in winter sometime 😊👍
Excellent video folks 👍, I climbed the Merrick in April what a hill amazing. Cairnsmore of Carsphairn is a great hill which is not far from the Merrick too another corbett!.
We agree the Merrick is an amazing hill, the views from the top were so beautiful, had a very remote feel. It was late May when we climbed it so you made it before us😊👍. Thanks for the recommendation on Cairnsmore of Carsphairn, we will certainly check that out sometime, we would love to return to explore more of this stunning area. Thank you so much for watching😊👍
Hi guys very nice walk and fantastic views. Nice sharing 👍
Thank you for watching glad you enjoyed😊👍 just subscribed to your channel will check out your videos they look great 👍
@@o.bsoutdoors3871 Thank you 👍🔔
oh my! Love this video; great job capturing the essence of this trail ❤️ This would be on our ‘must-do’ list when visiting Scotland 🏴 I’ve been a fan of the history of this area for many years and what a thrill it would be to stand near Loch Trool near the remembrance stone for Robert the Bruce ❤️ An incredible place to behold. Thank you for taking me there virtually!
Thank you so much for your lovely comments Amy😊. It certainly was a special place, we hope you get to visit it one day. Pete and i both have Scottish roots in our family so we are also fans of Scottish history, it is so dramatic and we did feel an atmosphere to the area around the Loch. It was indeed an honour to stand at the scene of such an important part of history and imagine what it must have been like back then🥰. Thanks again for watching, so glad you enjoyed the video, take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend😊
Hi guys, amazing walk and the views are stunning. Thanks for sharing 😊
Hey! Aw thank you and thank you so much for watching. It really was an amazing day so glad you enjoyed the video😊👍
A great walk through Merrick. Breathtaking views from the top. Thanks for sharing it folks. Keep up the good work
Aw thank you so much for watching my friend! Means a lot for us and our chanel🥰👍
Those opening views at the beginning while you're chatting are incredible. Not somewhere I've been but it looks amazing to have an explore. It's gone on my list and for a camp in area too. Beautiful cascades of water and those rolling hills. 😍. You certainly had a fab day for it. Thoroughly enjoyed this video 💗🥾
Hi Emz🤗, aw you would absolutely love this area, its so scenic and was really quiet. And the galloway forest has dark sky status so would be amazing for a wild Camp 🏕🌟🌠🌌. We hope you get to explore there one day. This hike was our favourite in dumfries, loved it and we were so lucky with the weather and the views🤗🥰. We are away at the moment but looking forward to catching up on everyone's videos when we get back. Thanks again for watching. Have a great week, Shell and Pete👍
Such a pretty hike! Lovely scenery and the views from the top are awesome. Like you're on some other planet. Love it! Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Switzerland!
Aw so glad you enjoyed the video, the views certainly were beautiful 😍. Thank you so much for watching and hello from the UK👋. Have a great day😊
@@o.bsoutdoors3871 It was a pleasure. :) Thanks, you too! :)
Wow what an amazing adventure! Views were absolutely stunning for sure 😍😍😍
Cool bothy, they always look a bit mad but ive seen a lot worse 🤣
It seriously looks amazing there ive definitely got to get myself up that way!
Nice trig point too 😊😊😊
Would love to camp round there weather permitting, ive got something id be confident in... hopefully you'll see soon 😉😏
The how of the cauldron sounds cool but definitely best not to chance the terrain if it sounded a bit of a mad one.
Great bit of history towards the end too love it!
Thanks for sharing really enjoyed it 😃😊👍🏻👍🏻
ATB both.... Chris
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch Chris😊👍. We really appreciate it and made up you enjoyed our little video. We actually said to each other you would like the trig when we saw it!🤣 . Yes neither of us fancied the bothy much although i am sure we would quickly change our minds in the middle of winter! it was such a memorable day for us in the middle of what was an amazing holiday. Such a gorgeous place, and the galloway forest has dark sky status so the stars camping would be immense on a clear night, its on our list for sure😊. Ooh new tent? We will look forward to seeing that in your next video, Pete is a complete kit nerd so he will love that haha🤣. Take care and hope you have a great week. Thanks again, Shell and Pete
@@o.bsoutdoors3871 You're very welcome indeed! Haha yeah as soon as I saw it I was like "that trig is awesome, I need to get to it" lol. I have nearly 2 weeks off in September so unless any plans change im hoping to do a bit of Scotland then, maybe go there on the way there or back.
Camping in the Galloway Forest sounds incredible with the potential stars, im definitely going to look into that for sure! Thanks!
Im hoping to be able to test the tent out this weekend 🤞🏻
Hope you both have a great week too 😊😊🥰
Chris
Certainly a day to remember
It was indeed! A perfect day in stunning surroundings😊. Thanks for watching👍
no forest zone anymore most of trees been felled was there april 24
What a shame, was a lovely section of the trail that. Hopefully it will return one day though with the planting of new trees🤞🌳
I really enjoy watching your videos u.u that was a great hike !
Thank you also for mentioning the animals name, it was very very helpful
just one question ! Do you know the name of the purple flowers that appear at the 12:49 ?
Gracias! thank you! take care :)
Hi there! Thank you so much for watching and for the great comments😊👍 we really do appreciate it. The purple flowers are called bluebells, and they are very common over here in the UK. They carpet our woodlands at this time of year and really are a beautiful flower🌸🥰. All the best and thanks again👍
