Dromderalough NE Top: Odd-looking formations

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 5 hours ago
On my approach to the summit I came across a large field of hundreds of these rather striking formations, which I think are are moss-covered boulders, but which looked like giant green ant-hills o...

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 5 hours ago
My final Vandeleur-Lynam! Unfortunately No. 273 wasn't the most distinctive summit (when I came off Mangerton I couldn't even pick it out on the landscape) , but the views from the top are tremend...

Slievenaglogh: Pleasant 90 Minute Stroll

Summit Comment Pepe 3 days ago
A blanket of cloud covered the higher Cooleys from Foxe's Rock to Foye but Slievenagloch was in the clear - happy days! Lots of logging activity at 9.30 of a Monday morning, so no space to park at...

Mangerton: The Lake District

Scapania's directions to the start are perfect. It's possible to make a looped walked taking in Stoompa and Mangerton which will allow for great views of so many lakes I won't list them. It's a fa...

Summit Comment magnumpig 4 days ago
I followed Sandmans instructions - thanks for those - it's a bit of a time consuming and boring climb, and the views from the top arent great. I wouldnt prioritise it if you have time constraints ...

A classic route in the Derryveagh along the Slieve Snaght ridge, taking in 6 summits. Start by R254/Lough Barra. Walk along the road westbound for a while then uphill towards Croaghnasharragh. The ground becomes firmer as it rises. A W to E route along the ridge allows you to enjoy the fantastic vista over the Seven Sisters. Did this walk in June 2014 with my friend Wilderness, under perfect weather conditions. Slieve Snaght is a beautiful, massive mountain, but our preference went to Drumnalifferny and its steep W cliffs. The descent along Scardangal Burn is very steep at some point and the end is a bit of a slog on wet, uneven ground, not too long though. We had the chance to meet some deer and quite a few frogs. A great day out !!
