Man scales Croagh Patrick for 365th time in a year

AN adventurer from Co Mayo will climb Croagh Patrick today and complete a remarkable record — hiking up the holy mountain every day for the past year.

Matt Loughrey, a 32-year-old father of two, vowed to climb the mountain every day for charity when he started last June.

He will complete the 764-metre climb for the last time today, accompanied by dozens of supporters including rugby legend Mick Galwey.
