Hi,

Thank you for your kind words about my piece on Croagh Patrick ("I climb Croagh Patrick in Ireland on Wednesday the 23rd of June 1993"), I enjoyed the experience at the time.

Make sure you wear a stout pair of boots with some ankle support, and rubber soles would be much better to grip the loose shale than leather.

Go forth and conquer!!

Best wishes,
Mac.
