Croagh Patrick Challenge

This April 25th we are bringing Purefit to the mountains! Starting at the Information Centre at Murrisk, Co. Mayo we will be climbing Crough Patrick where you will be challenged by the long initial ascent into the brief but windy respite of the saddle. From there you will ascend the rocky final stretch before the views open up at the peak to show you magnificent vistas of the atlantic, Clew Bay and Westport. At 764 metres (2,507 ft) Croagh Patrick is the third highest mountain in Co. Mayo and has been a place of pilgrimage for over 5,000 years. 

We have organised a bus to travel from Purefit, leaving at 8:30am sharp on April 25th and returning at 6:30. A ticket for the bus journey is €15 return. Bring sturdy footwear or choose to climb barefoot!
