5th July 18:15 - Job Done

We made it to the top of Corran Tuathail, the 6th and final peak, with Martin in tow and although we didn’t win the award for the biggest cheer, we did have the best and only team song written by John (lyrics to follow).

This final peak was a fantastic finish with the daunting ‘Devils Ladder’ to negotiate, which is basically a very steep 200 metre waterfall to climb.  The only way is up!

We had a relaxed walk back to the finish line and crossed the challenge finish line with 10 minutes to spare.  Job done.  Followed swiftly by popping a bottle of bubbly and Ross, Louise and myself all learning that you can’t down it from the bottle while it’s still fizzing.  The results were explosive and most entertaining!

Back to the hotel for a shower, party and some of Irelands best alcohol!

    Well done Steve for such a sterling effort, unwavering dedication until the very end. Proof that cow-power is still “where it’s at”.

    Those tag-along humans didn’t do too bad either, hope they didn’t complain too much and distract the elite bovine athlete.
