by gerrym  11 Oct 2008 Started at approx. 444373 (Point A) at a small quarry which provides a couple of parking spaces. Climb up back of quarry, clattering over loose rock and parallel a rough track, cross a delightful little burn with waterfall with foxgloves and bumble bees and head over grass towards Damph . The bulk of S Snaght draws attention to the right with its very different top of heather and stone. A farmer was herding sheep near the top with the aid of sheepdog and more modern quad. Cross a fence and some wetter ground, as rise firmer ground and another fence brings the non descript top.

Views open up along Lough Swilly, Buncrana and of course Slieve Main and Slieve Snaght to the NW (with Raghtin More visible in thier col). To the E a low line of hills stretched down towards Derry, with Lough Foyle and the start of the Sperrins just visible.

An easy 40 minutes of walking but of course it would be a crime to stop here when such other delights beckon. S Snaght and S Main are both within easy reach and on a good day the views are built up layer by layer as height is gained.
Point A: C444 373 (turn area map On)

Rising Damp
by madfrankie  2 May 2011 Driving on the minor road to the east of these hills, we were perplexed to see a lake to our east (the right) that did not feature on the map - you can see this body of water in gerrym's photo. Fear not, it does exist - I assume this is the Pollan Dam?
From the roadside quarry it's a pleasant stroll up grassy hillside to the featureless top of Damph. The view west is dominated by the Slieve Snacht and Slieve Main, seperated from Damph by a secluded valley. Damph is an ideal starting point for a round of these central-Inishowen hills.
