In the aftermath of Storm Arwen we faced the might of Donegal's highest mountain Mount Errigal 751m.
At the car park in preparation for some sub zero temperatures on the summit we layered up in advance. The best on offer was a four trouser layer and 5 upper body layer. 😂, Some of us felt more like the Michelin man. But one must be prepared 😍.
After making the ascent of Mackoght 555m we set our sights on the imposing ridge of Errigal.
The winds had eased somewhat and it was deemed safe to progress to the summit. It was then the layering system really shone with temperatures at sub zero and a wind chill measured at -10c. We all were well insulated and apart from the frozen hands used to take photos we felt really toasty.
It was truly a memorable day and well done to the "Magnificent Seven" who undertook the climb👏.
