Last weekend's Connaught MPC was a true baptism by fire for our gang. A tough route (that steep and long ascent of Croaghan ...) and challenging weather conditions (low temperatures, fog, rain, strong winds) thrown in for good measure.

A lot of preparation is needed before going to a Mountain Pursuit Challenge: studying maps, preparing route cards, food, and gear, ... Our patrol is now ready for Achill Island ready after all that hard work. Pray for good weather. 🤞

The Mournes did not disappoint this weekend and a challenging route in glorious sunshine on the
Ulster Mountain Pursuit Challenge was enjoyed. A massive well done to all the patrols that took part in the event and thanks to the Chief Scout for joining us at high camp.

Well done to our 6 intrepid ventures who faced horrible conditions on Saturday (exceptionally low visibility, strong gusty wind, rain and hail) on the eastern ridges of the Reeks.
After an 8 year absence from the Mountain Havoc's we are back!
