Achill Mountain challenge COMPLETED 👏👏👏💪
Yesterday we set about climbing two of the highest mountains in Achill Island
Starting at the reservoir lake Acorrymore we arrived at the summit of Croaghauns a climb completed in 1.5 hours and 500m of elevation gain
We then set our sights on Slievemore
Unfortunately we could see nothing with visibility down to zero and strong winds combined with heavy rain making for difficult progress
Arriving at the signal tower an option to cut short via the Deserted village was considered. This was soon put to bed and we set into a big climb of 700m to the summit of Slievemore
After that it was all down hill to our awaiting cars at Dugort
It was a savage day indeed but one that in a positive way will be remembered and all participants can feel immensely proud of their accomplishments💪👏👏👏
The stats shows distance of almost 18kms with elevation gain close on 1200m and a duration of 7.5 hours
Combined this with those who’d travelled from as far as Dublin and Offaly and back 💪💪💪
What a team 🤩🤩🤩
