A wet day’s circuit of 5 Donald Deweys from the Megget reservoir car park. NT210232. | BaggerGutt | 25/03/2024 |
Parked at Megget Dam - Syart - Syart Law - Gool Knowe - Craigdilly - Muckle Knees- fence to track - as outward. 12 miles | Moorponder | 12/10/2023 |

1 of 5 | thekirkie pirate | 05/10/2023 |
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 Down1 | 07/05/2023 |
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. | Isbjorn | 18/04/2023 |
From the Megget car park, across the dam and then followed the fence to the summit. | JAdair97 | 15/04/2023 |
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. | jonglew | 29/03/2022 |
Reservoir parking; over the dam and straight up. | PGCE | 20/03/2021 |
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. | SS | 07/11/2020 |
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) | gerrybowes | 07/07/2020 |
Doing the trig from Megget Dam. Bitterly cold wind with snowy slopes. | BigJ | 02/01/2017 |
From Gool Knowe, track to fences on left, track around fences and then to summit. | Anton | 13/09/2016 |
parked at dam along headwall, up through small wood to the top. | robertphillips | 03/01/2016 |
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. | RHW | 14/03/2014 |
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. | chrisbien | 31/03/2013 |
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. | agentmancuso | 21/07/2012 |
