It was magic under the stars tonight! The magic of Mayo!! #mayoismagic #mayodarkskypark #darkskies #afterdark #greenwaytothemilkyway #terrafirma
Delighted to work on the new Croagh Patrick Ambassador Training course for Leave No Trace Ireland - a great new group of representatives ready to greet visitors to the reek.
None of this would be possible without the great work of the path building team over the last few years - hail, rain and shine - they have carefully placed every stone by hand from sea to summit. Amazing to see what this great work has achieved already.
Big thanks to The Tavern Bar & Restaurant Murrisk for the hospitality!
Featured in the The Irish Times yesterday!
“The path restoration has allowed the mountain to breathe again. There has been a significant regeneration of the habitats already in the three years since the project started”

More amazing people pushing the limits. Mark McHale using Croagh Patrick to train for an upcoming 100km Welsh mountain race.
Best of luck Mark.
Have you ever heard of EDS? Me neither, well not until I met Ian on the Reek on Saturday. Check out Ruby's Journey and if there’s anything you can do to help, I’m sure the family would appreciate it. GRMA
Best wishes to Elaine xx

Newport Past and Present
“The first maps didn’t look like much, small simple and sparse, but when people started to explore beyond the known to the wonders of the unknown……………”
Today is World Heritage Day, which takes place on April 18 every year with an aim to increase awareness about the importance of protecting culture and diversity.
Here in Mayo, we are lucky to be surrounded with an abundance of built and natural heritage. There is no better time to get to know what treasures are to be found within 2km of your own home.
