Story
Thanks for visiting my Just Giving page for our Coopman Four Peaks Challenge in aid of the Irish Youth Foundation.
The Coopman team recently completed a 3 Day, Four Peaks Challenge. We climbed the four highest peaks in each of the four provinces of Ireland:
- Carrauntoohil in Co. Kerry, (Munster)
- Mweelrea, in Co. Mayo (Connacht)
- Slieve Donard in Co. Down (Ulster)
- Lugnaquilla in Co. Wicklow (Leinster)
We experienced the full, harsh elements of nature - torrential rain, howling wind, agonising incline ascents and descents, with associated discomfort, aches and pain that tested our endurance and mental fortitude.
Over the 3 days we covered:
> 3 600 m in vertical ascent,
> 55 km of hiking on slippery, stony terrain/trails,
> 24 hours of tramping in mixed weather conditions,
> 1 300 km Driving across 18 Counties of Ireland
Our goal was to raise vital funds for the Irish Youth Foundation.
Any donation, big or small, will make a difference, and is greatly appreciated.
