Croagh Patrick world record set

Keeping up with County Mayo, the featured county in the Heritage Area, there's a story from the front page of this week's Connaught Telegraph that you need to know. COUNTRY FM DJ Ian McKeever has created a world record by scaling the slopes of Croagh Patrick seven times in a 19-hour period. I scaled it twice in a 12-month period myself, though I didn't bother with that ice business.

Looking around the Telegraph you'll find a photo gallery of St. Patrick's Day parades in the Mayo towns of Kiltimagh, Castlebar, and Balla.

There's more details about the Croagh Patrick record over on Mayo News
