Derek Moorhead and Poolview Business Director, Robin McGloughlin at Malin Head
On 1st July, Derek Moorhead and Poolview Business Director, Robin McGloughlin, set off on a 500 miles scenic journey from the southern tip of Ireland to the most northern point ie. Mizen Head to Malin Head.
The pair were aiming to raise funds for the Southern Area Hospice which needs £2.7million in donations per annum to remain open.
The challenge was to “wild bike-pack” the length of Ireland, without any support and wild camping in open fields along the way.
Unfortunately the weather proved to be very typically Irish and it rained hard for 4 of the 5 days. Strong gusting winds in excess of 25knots were not welcome on the heavily laden road bikes.
However the two friends made it to Malin Head on Sunday, mid-afternoon with a total raised in excess of £5,500. The total now has exceeded £6,600
