Knockaunanattin West Top: Impressive defile start leads to airy ridgeline.

Given the number of visits the main top has had I find it hard to believe that the English invasion (all two of us) of Knockaunanattin W Top constituted its first MV ascent, but never mind. H...

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Inishsirrer (<i>Inis Oirthir</i>) in area Donegal Islands, Ireland
Picture: View of Inishsirrer from the mainland at low tide		  
Uninhabited except a few sheep.
by magicstep  24 May 2017
I did kayak to the island in 2014. There is a slipway facing the mainland. Lot's of ruined houses. Walking is decent as the island is flat but in places ground is uneven and overgrown, there are only some sheep paths. On the far end there is a wee lighthouse (or a signal station) and some interesting rock formations. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/2015/comment/19522/

Surprisingly Donegal islands have a very good mobile internet reception, sometimes better than in an office in Dublin. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/2015/comment/19524/
