I would never recommend any one to buy anything with the Merrill brand.
Some years ago now, there was a campaign over here to gain the right for members of the public to roam freely across mountains, moorland, and other types of open country.
In spite of strong opposition from rich landowners and other vesred interests, this campaign was successful, and parliament eventually passed a law, The Right to Roam Act.
John Merrill was an active campaigner against the law
