Mark Davidson walked up Meugher on June 24th, 2020 [from/via/route] Walk ny161 Meugher from Yarnbury, Grassington [with] Alone [weather] Dry with sunny periods. More importantly, dry underfoot!!
Tony Rogerson climbed Meugher on January 23rd, 2016 [from/via/route] Yarnbury Henstone Band Meugher Sandy Gate Mossdale Kelber [with] Floss [weather] Wind & mist on top, clear & calm lower down - Not TOO wet at all, considering the recent weather. Possibly the best way to approach this hill.
Trevor Lipscombe has bagged Meugher [from/via/route] Yarnbury, NNE of Grassington, by car only, plenty of parking.. Can also be accessed from Conistone, NNW of Grassington off B6160, shorter distance, but greater gain of height, on a bus route (bus stops at Kilnsey). Use map OL2. - Follow good tracks & paths to Sandy Gate, MR030712. Then follow National Park boundary fence S & E to approx MR040694, roughish grass, can be boggy. To NE you should see grouse butts, head to these & join a track which services the butts & follow this N to the foot of Meugher. Climb what is claimed to be the least visited peak in Yorkshire. Return by same route.
