A wet day’s circuit of 5 Donald Deweys from the Megget reservoir car park. NT210232.BaggerGutt25/03/2024
Parked at Megget Dam - Syart - Syart Law - Gool Knowe - Craigdilly - Muckle Knees- fence to track - as outward. 12 milesMoorponder12/10/2023
Circuit of south Megget hills from car park. 1 of 5thekirkie pirate05/10/2023
From the Megget car park, across the dam, left at the waymark, along a green track between fences, over the stile by the gate and steeply up by the fence to the trig point and summit.Nick Down107/05/2023
Parking at Megget dam (NT210232). Along dam, into trees. Don’t go too high within the trees or it will be difficult to negotiate a BWF with chicken wire – try to leave the trees about 10m below where a fence coming down the hillside adjoins the trees, where the fence is not BWF. Up to trig point and a bit beyond for the true summit.Isbjorn18/04/2023
From the Megget car park, across the dam and then followed the fence to the summit.JAdair9715/04/2023
Parked N side dam, only planned to do the 4 dam trig pillars, but seemed rude not to nip up here for another dam pillar... and the hill.jonglew29/03/2022
Reservoir parking; over the dam and straight up.PGCE20/03/2021
From reservoir car park over dam and up ridge on generally easy going. Went on to col under Gool Knowe just to see ground for future go at Craigdilly. Returned by track then round to dam. Cracking ninety minutes on a glorious day.SS07/11/2020
Parked on hardstanding opposite start of track to Synart at NT 2183 2313 - Up track to a height of about 450m & then headed up towards ridge & picked up an ATV track which was followed to the unmarked summit. Descended S. to rejoin track & back to car. (S)gerrybowes07/07/2020
Doing the trig from Megget Dam. Bitterly cold wind with snowy slopes.BigJ02/01/2017
From Gool Knowe, track to fences on left, track around fences and then to summit.Anton13/09/2016
parked at dam along headwall, up through small wood to the top.robertphillips03/01/2016
From N, path across Megget dam then straight up. Beside mapped cairn is a trig, with standard OS spider but presumably installed for Dam and resr. Also a non-standard trig above dam in top edge of trees, presumably just for monitoring dam. Very windy, could barely stand at summit.RHW14/03/2014
P at start of track to Syart. Along track then steeply up from ~ 410m. Back along ridge then onto track. Track disappeared but found it higher up. Straight over top of Gool Knowe - Shielhope Hill - down Rodie Cleuch to track. Difficult snow.chrisbien31/03/2013
Fifth hill in clockwise round of seven tops from Tibbie Shiels. Decent view down to the Megget on one side & St Mary's on the other. My 900th hill.agentmancuso21/07/2012
