From Carrauntoohil to the Slieve Blooms Shane Gough and Luke Callinan climbed Ireland's highest peaks.

Two midlands men have hiked to the highest point of every county in Ireland.

Athlone's Shane Gough and Luke Callinan documented their journey to the peak of all 32 counties, including Carrauntoohil in Kerry - Ireland’s highest point, including  Mullaghmeen in Westmeath, and the Slieve Bloom Mountains in Laois and Offaly.

They say the idea came from the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions in Ireland, when people were encouraged to discover more in the country, instead of travelling abroad.

They also have a YouTube Channel, "Irish County Peaks," which simply to give a practical guide for anyone looking to do the same thing.
