Yes I can confirm how wet it can be, as last month my Wife and I walked the Southern Upland Way from Portpatrick to Traquair
when we visited Caldons and Loch Trool it was raining all day and we were bothered by Midges
as were all the Campers at Caldons. But having said the above it is a beautiful area to walk in. CARL

A long day out, but worth the views from the top peaks. The Anson wreck at Bennanbrack is still there. I assume most of it has been scavenged over the years, but the scar and remaining wreckage are clearly visible about 50m down from the peak.
Returned via the North side of Loch Trool, so 6.5 hours in total including many photo/snack stops. Would probably just go to Curlywee and back if I go again.

Did part of this walk on Sat. I found the long haul up the Caldons Burn and on up the open hill a bit of a slog and was pretty tired before reaching the top of Lamachan, however the views were magnificent on the clearest day for some time. I felt Curlywee was too far for me so headed down to the road which was far from easy and back to the car. In 5hrs.40 mins only 30 mins or so spent on top. I met some walkers who did it the other way round which seemed a lot better. I'm still on a learning curve.
Cheers ... Alan
