(Details)     COMMENTS for Bingorms Page 1 of 1 Glacial erosion at its best Short Summary created by jackill  24 May 2011 Approach from Glenveagh along the R254. Park in the small slipway carpark at B92918 12363 (Point A) (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. Drop down the west face and skirt Lough Slieve Sneachtas north shore then an easy clib on a rocky ridge south west to Bingorms. Note descending south west towards the R254 might seem the quickest option. it is very steep and very rough, so consider descending instead along the side of Scardangal burn. If you climb here during warmer months bring midge repellant. Point A: B92918 12363 (turn area map On) Comment Rating (3.00) Picture: Loch Sliabh Sneachta Expand pics.   by jackill  27 Sep 2005 After descending the boggy , rutted side of Slieve Snaght we paused for a few minutes near Loch Sliabh Sneachta .This lake must have been scooped out from the rock by passing glaciers. There is evidence of the glaciers' force in the almost flat surfaces of the exposed rock in this area. We walked up the short climb to gain the col between Drumnaliffern and Bingorms and turned first for the flat summit of Drumnaliffern and then on to the equally flat ridge(after point 575mtrs) to reach the summit of Bingorms.From the summit of Bingorms we descended down a very tricky, steep slope to approx. B 936 173 (Point B) before another steep descent to arrive back at the main road . We made a run for the cars parked on the slipway at Lough Barra as the midges appeared to be a bit hungry.It was a very foggy afternoon so the opportunities for photography were few. The photo was taken from the col with Bingorms on the right of the photo , Lough Sliabh Sneachta and the slopes of Slieve Snaght rising up into the clouds on the left.

I left Drumnaliffernn’s summit skirting another small locheen before dropping down onto the col below Bingorms (93389 15287 (Point C)). From the col it’s a relatively simple climb up onto Bingorms northern summit (575m) followed by a pleasant walk across the rocky plateau to its southern summit marked by a small cairn. While Slieve Snaght’s large dome dominates the view to the west and Drumnaliffernn’s summit obliterates all but the apex of Errigal to the north, there are fine views to the north-east over Dooish and its neighbouring hills. To the southeast across the R254 lies Moylenav. South you are greeted with a grandstand view of Lough Barra and its nature reserve. Beyond to the south/southwest the Croaghgorms were now just about visible in the gathering gloom. Nearer to hand to the southwest the southern end of Crockfadda’s ridge (my final summit on the day) beckoned, but not before the highest point of the day was reached, my next target Slieve Snaght.
