       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

       o/GC1HMMD, head up the path towards  Culsharg
       Bothy
  HTML 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
  HTML http://coord.inf
       o/GC1M6TZ, your high point. Now drop down to
       Grey Man of Merrick Earthcache
  HTML 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.
