** SORRY - THIS WALK IS FULLY BOOKED ** This high level walk explores two of the knuckles of the Awful Hand range and offers great views of the Galloway Hills.
Starting at Kirriereoch road end we follow the forest road to Cross Burn before climbing to the top of Kirriereoch. A short descent and then a short steep climb up the Little Spear leads to the summit of Merrick (843 metres), the highest point in the Galloway Hills. The descent is by way of the clearly marked path via the Neive of the Spit and Benyellary to finish at Bruce’s Stone.
