Summiting all 275 of Ireland's Mountains in record time - Ellie Berry - The HiiKER Podcast

Ireland is a small country. You can pretty much drive from one end of the country to the other in less than a day.

But this small Island off the west coast of Europe, is packed with some of the most beautiful and rugged landscapes in the world.


Our little Island has 275 mountains according to the Vandeleur-Lynams scale, which classifies a mountain as being over 600m in elevation and 15m prominence.


While bagging all of these peaks is not as widely spoken about as say the Munroes in Scotland, or the Wainwrights in the Lake District or the 14ers in the US, there are a number of people who have managed to scale all 275.


My guest this week, Ellie Berry, not only ticked off all 275, but managed to do it in a new record time of 50 days and 5 hours! Beating the previous record by almost 5 days.


You might remember Ellie as one part of Tough soles - I did a podcast way back with her and her partner Carl who hiked all of the Irish Waymarked trails.


This time she has conquered a new challenge.


If it wasn’t already a huge challenge, Ireland had the worst summer for rainfall on record this year. Add into the mix a couple of spills and a missed peak, this was truly an achievement of mind over matter.


While Ellie is soft spoken, her achievements are almost deafening!
