    Does anyone know of some nice trail routes in Waterford? I'd like to get a bit of variety into my longer weekend runs, as I'm getting a bit bored with my usual loops.

    Thanks :)

    This is a lazy response...but have you checked out Coillte's loop walks (if any) in Waterford ?I've found them to be good running in Dublin and Wicklow.

    There's loads of great trails around the Portlaw woods. The trails range between 3 and 8 miles in lenght so you can loop back to the car a few times during a long run to grab a drink, gel etc.....

    Thanks vegas elvis, that sounds ideal. Fancy a change of scenery, so might have a look at that option over the weekend.
