COUNTY HIGH POINT CHALLENGE
In a bid to see more of beautiful Ireland AND climb more mountains, Siobhan Linehan from Dan Linehan’s of Killarney, has set herself the challenge of climbing the highest point in every county this year.
The action plan for this challenge is to have some fun, see the country, enjoy the fresh air and raise some money for two local charities, yet to be announced.
The challenge will finish with the final ascent up Carrauntoohil in Kerry on home turf.
Follow Siobhan’s progress below and on Dan Linehan’s B&B Facebook Page.
