    ...for those of you who may not have heard of this feat, Simon Byrne is attempting to bag all the Vandeleur-Lynam and Arderin summits in 1 year, a total of 454 peaks. He has 50 or so left and for anyone who wants to join him in this venture, his last is Mullaghcarn in the Sperrins on the 27th December. So far 9 of his outings this year have incorporated treks of 40km plus, and 13 have exceeded 2,000m ascent.

    You can track his progress here...

    Wisely, his stance on Christian symbolism on mountain tops is not known!

    For those that are interested I put up a recent blog post (link above in the first post - can't share links as I am a new user) with the final total stats for Project Mountain Goat. As some people were wondering how much distance was covered and ascent meters climbed, you can see it all there. Cheers!
