Park in the small slipway carpark at B92918 12363 (Point A) room for 5-6 cars. Walk northeast along the road for 1km, cross the fence to your left and follow the Sruhancrolee stream northwest over marshy ground before ascending steeply next to a small waterfall. The slope is less steep as you cross a boggy kilometre west the small summit cairn of Crockfadda. Move on to Crockfadda NE then look for a steep gully rising the side of Slieve Snaght to the east.Climb the gully to the more gently sloping summit If you climb here during warmer months bring midge repellant. Point A: B92918 12363 (turn area map On) Comment Rating (5.00) Picture: Slieve Snaght from Bingorms summit Expand pics. by eflanaga  20 Apr 2006 (Climbed April 17th – see Bingorms for previous stage in walk). From the summit of Bingorms there is a short albeit fairly steep drop over boulder-strewn slopes into Scardangal Burn (93017 14526 (Point B)). The descent is not so difficult so long as care is taken. This would be especially pertinent in wet conditions when the boulders may become treacherous for the unwary. I crossed a small stream and climbed for about thirty metres until I reached a large boulder. Here, I decided to stop for lunch. I re-commenced my climb up the boggy eastern slope of Slieve Snaght. Having rested I thought I was up to the steeper climb. My left knee thought better of it and was beginning to object strongly to the pressure it was being put under. In hindsight it might have been better to drop a little further south into the Burn from Bingorms so as to climb Snaght’s south-eastern slope - the gradient at this end appears less steep. However, I persevered until I topped Snaght arriving at its summit through a heavy veil of mist. I carried out some running repairs on the knee (bandage) sheltering behind the summit cairn. The mist cleared after a short time allowing me to see my final two targets; Crockfadda North-East Top & Crockfadda.

Park at the head of the Poison Glen and basically make a bee line for the Snaght/Drumnaliffern col. One hour to cross the initial bog plain (at a good pace - the midges forbade stopping!) then the ground dries up considerably. Very easy pull up to the summit, two hours in total to the top. Fantastic views (I could just make out Ben Bulb in Sligo) mean I will be back - as the b****dy batteries died after a few shots! (spares left in the caravan earlier, most useful). A really wild and special place. One of the best lunch venues I have encountered for all round views. Warning, after wet weather/poor visibility the bog crossing on this route will be very unpleasant and difficult, my walk was after a week of almost no rain. As an update, I headed up again last week (with fresh and spare batteries!). Following the Devlin river to just below the first lough, then heading straight for the col described above will save some "bog trotting" Crossing just above the lough not recommended - long grass and heather, with bog underneath - very "interesting" For the nature lovers, lots of huge dragonflies along the route. We met two Norweigans on the summit, equipped with huge packs, kettle and stove etc. (Comment Rating 4.56) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average Expand pics. by skyehigh  6 Apr 2005 For those who find it more convenient to climb Slieve Snacht from Dunlewy, this view from Errigal clearly shows the course of the Devlin River beyond the old church. One option is to walk upriver for two miles, then after a boggy patch follow a tributary to the left, eventually attaining the col to the right of the summit. In this picture, unfortunately, the target resembles a topped boiled egg.

(Comment Rating 3.90) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average by Bleck Cra  21 Oct 2004 An american tourist described the sound of the Ulster-Scots town “Ahoghill” being pronounced, “like someone clearing catarrh”. Sliabh Snaght, other than “a” and “cheque” is the most fun you can have with 2 words. Sleeeeeeve Snaaaaachchcht ! The only reason I draw attention to it, is because no one here has thought it worthy of comment, view or even derision. You can never get out of Derry without it costing you something - in this case it was £2 for 2 strawberries at the Foyle Bridge, from a muscular child feigning a limp. I headed for Letterkenny, out of which en route to Derryveagh, you step into the land time forgotted. Around Glendowan, I alit against the warm flanks of farm beasts idling on the clearway. It was hard to go any way other than straight on, but I thought I better ask anyway. “Ah now” he said in that sad sing-song Donegal voice, like they’re being accompanied by a melodian. “Go straight on to the crossroads and don’t go left.” Fine…. “Go to the next crossroads and don’t go left again.” Well you can see where this is going. So I just went straight on and a white terrier accompanied me off the premises. At Lough Barra, beneath Snaght, you think you’ll just go home. This is the absolute back of beyond AND some. Can’t remember which way ‘round it went, but route up or down took in a pretty stream over polished rocks and embedded rowan trees: perhaps a little stone bridge. Route down or up took in endless marching-come-wading through waist-high rushes. The walk itself seemed to throw up no great terrors, fascinations or bright spots, other than the summit where the views across Errigal and siblings was quite spendid. I’ll try to dig out a pic.
