Slieveboy: Did it fall or was it pushed?

Summit Comment Pepe a week ago
This poor old trig has keeled over at the Slievboy mast compound. Did it fall or was it pushed? Who knows, perhaps the upside-down beer label (visible in the foreground of the picture) provides a ...

Summit Comment Colin Murphy a week ago
Followed the short summary directions, but the area after the track has now been replanted with saplings, although these were relatively easy to negotiate. The real problems started at the edge of...

Slieveroe: Take the long view

Slieveroe may not be the most exciting of tops, (unless you call being torn to shreds by gorse exciting) but it does have one saving grace - it presents a wonderful view of the Blessington Lakes. ...

David-Guenot: Track 2768 in area near Cnoc na Searrach, Donegal NW (Ireland)
SLIEVE SNAGHT LOOP

Descent: 973m

Places: Start at B92954 12390, Cnoc na Searrach, Crockfadda, Crockfadda North-East Top, Slieve Snaght, Drumnalifferny Mountain, Bingorms, end at Start

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 !!
