Route: Ireland's County High Points (Ireland)

Location
Ireland
Description

The high points of the 32 counties of Ireland are covered by 26 peaks, ranging in height from 276 meters (Slieve Na Calliagh) in Meath to Carrauntoohill’s 1039. Several counties share a peak, Mount Leinster, for example, forms the high point of both Carlow and Wexford. Among these hills are some of Ireland’s most popular and appealing mountains, such as Errigal and Slieve Donard, and some that aren’t visited so often, such as Cupidstown Hill in Co. Kildare. A list of the high points is here.

Hi! I will be taking on this challenge tomorrow, setting off from the High Point of Mweelrea @ 19:00. There will be a live tracker at https://live.primaltracking.com/highpoints2024/ and updates will be posted on Facebook and Instagram at "Dillons Adventures".
