Errigal
Cllr Ciaran Brogan was also deeply inspired by Charlie Bird, and has been working hard to organise a climb of Donegal’s most famous mountain, Errigal.
"Charlie Bird's story struck a chord with us all and many people are keen to take up the challenge,” he said.
“I’m happy to confirm that ‘Climb Errgial Together’ will go ahead on Saturday, April 2 - the same day as Charlie's climb in Mayo.
"I'm extremely grateful to the members of Donegal Motor Club to lead out with the stewarding and managing of the event along with members of Errigal Cycling Club and Donegal Civil Defence.
“I’m delighted to confirm that Donegal International Rally Clerk of the Course, Eamon McGee, will be the main coordinator. Eamon has vast experience in organising large events and he also has a wealth of local knowledge.”
