Last big hike before the BIG ONE!
๐ Meall Nan Tarmachan 1,044m

This time two weeks myself and Lisa Gribbin will be getting ready to board our flight for Tanzania. Eekk!!! ๐ฑ

Such a great time on the Mourne Mountains meeting some of the Kilimanjaro hikers for the first time. Crazy to think the next mountain weโll hike together will be the highest single free-standing mountain in the world - 6 weeks today Eek!!! ๐ป
Lots of emotions going on but ultimately feeling very excited doing this huge challenge with these lovely people โค๏ธ๐ฅพ
๐First time doing Slieve Donard and what a treat. Clear sky on the highest peak in Ulster, a rare occurrence apparently ๐๐ผ
