Very nice.

Galloway is on my list of to-do's this year.

Did you get any midges? I came back from 6 days in the cairngorms last week, and didn't see a single one. I fear this will never be repeated.

They were out in force mate as long as there is a wee breeze though they dissapear, just try to camp high up and away from water and it shouldn't be too bad.

Are there deciduous trees there aswell as conifers?

I recognise Loch Bradan, we headed down there last July and realised I had to upgrade my transportation when on the final wee track to the camp. Spent 2 nights there with one of them being a totally clear night that gave us an opportunity to see the Milky Way. Not much fish for us on that trip though but so quiet and peacefull all by ourselves.

Would like to head down again, can you recommend anywhere that is a little more accessible than Loch Bradan?

Most of the lochs are fishing by permit only.

loch Doon is free fishing with easy access though.

Btw, we're having a meet at Loch Trool /Glentrool next month,free fishing there too.
Check the Scotland South meet up thread.
