O: Summit an extensive flat area of heather and peat, only about 150m from highest point of shooters' track. May be access problems at times.

1st of 6 hills on a 33km circuit from Middlesmoor using track past numerous shooting huts and then a short diversion to the top and back onto the track heading for Meugher...Dazingdale28/05/2023
Parked in Stean, followed Prow to the access track used for shooting, followed this past two huts then over a bridge, then headed up to the summit on a path made of green plastic the type used to drive vehicles over grass. On return took on Moss Drivematty1971b14/05/2023
From mapped parking just N of Studfold Farm (SE 0978 7335). Up via High Blayshaw to meet shooting track at SE 0856 7159, track nearly all the way from there. On to Meugher, returning via a diversion to the trig pillar Mark Hill for a 21km round.jonglew02/03/2023
Parked by the bridge in Conistone. Walked up the Dib, then followed Bycliffe Road to Mossdale Shooting Lodge, where I turned up the ATV track created by the grouse parties. At the end of the butts headed off to meet the boundary fence, turning right and followed it to until adjacent to estate track coming up from the east. Dipped down east and followed that to Moss Drive, which I missed when last on Meugher. Then back to the rubble road, and just after the bridge across the beck, turned up decent netted track for a revisit to the trig on the summit of Meugher. Then west across country to pick up the outbound route, following it back to Conistone. 20km with 570m ascent taking 5h 30m.silveracorn_alan27/11/2022

From NE, good track with a few BMs along the way, patches of snow, cold wind, down before dusk. 25k map has Henstone Band just 1m lower at 546m - no time to go there this eveRHW01/03/2020
Parked in Pateley Bridge and followed Nidderdale Way to Nabs. Bivvied overnight on Wig Stones then this was second of eight hills.Wheelsy25/05/2019

En passant - 150m from track.destaylor01/10/2015
From car park at How Stean Gorge - they let me park if I would visit the cafe at the end. High level rights of way don't exist on the ground. Took track NW of How Stean Beck, then cross grass moorland to Cross Gill and Meugher.Locally pronounced 'Moofer'.Moss Drive then long track down. Based on other logs and OS map seems like easiest route.ijpowell04/09/2015
With Jo, from Conistone: tracks and moorland via Priest’s Tarn to Meugher then Moss Drive. Weather; sunny, warm, good visibility.amblerbob09/04/2015
Meugher, Moss Drivekeithouk26/10/2014
Parked near the bridge at Conistone then up bridleway to Mossdale Scar and the shooting hut. Then up a quad track to pass 5 double shooting butts then aim for fence and first proper view of summit. Cross peat hags to summit then onto Moss Drive before heading back on a similar route. Towards the end I took the footpath down the Dib which demonstrates some fantastic limestone country.Dugswell217/07/2014
Having been to Meugher previously from west, did this from east. Wish I had done them both togetherpeebs23/04/2014
Carpark near Studfold at Lofthouse. Showery and windy day. Lane then into Blayshaw Gill until past aqueduct to avoid GOML, track past two shooting huts to highest point of track. This is only about 150m from summit of heather and peat hags. Long way for an unexciting hill, but worthwhile if combined with Meugher.Aye Jimmy11/05/2013
Walked starting at grimwith reservoir the did a circuit including meugher and moss drive. Wet and windy day. Snow patches still in places. Walked with Graham and Ruben.karencooke05/05/2013
From Nidderdale. Studfold Farm - Blayshaw Gill - shooting path - Moss Drive - Meugher - rain guage - Far Pasture - How Stean Beck side footpath. bright and dry. Wet but not excessively boggy.PaulH26/01/2012
Some date in my youthful days. Actually went up Meugher but, seeing this top as we returned along the shooting track I made a quick detour. Glad that U did otherwise it would have been necessary to revisit it!moorsman09/09/1999
