Provided you are suitably equipped with proper footwear,
clothing and food, the route to the Merrick summit is a clearly
defined and rewarding walk from the car parking area at NX 41553
80415. The so called tourist route follows the Buchan Burn to
Culsharg before ascending Benyellary and traversing the Neive of
the Spit onto the shoulder of the mighty Merrick. The views from
the summit, on a clear day, are quite magnificent. Ben Lomond to
the north and the Paps of Jura to the north west might be two
identifiable locations you should be able to identify.
If you feel energetic and are suitably equipped for a true
hillwalking experience, you might like to make a day of it and
visit the following nearby caches:
You are looking for a small container with a blue lid.
Happy hunting!
Thanks to Forestry Commission Scotland for allowing this
cache to be placed.
FTF - Headie D - a great achievement in the weather
conditions!
