I climbed to the summit of Knockanaffrin for the second time, albeit via a different route in early May 2009 after talking to a friend who lived in the area.

This is a walk on forestry tracks for the most part with the last leg across soft mountain terrain to the lake. We have been doing the walk at night but this is a fantastic destination as the view from the summitt is superb day or night. At night you can see the lights of Waterford and the new cable stay bridge to the south and you can see the lights of...
