'I’m just proud that all 24 of us made it to the top.' 🗻

A group of Orangemen has gone on their longest march ever - travelling 70km and climbing almost 5,900 meters in a bid to raise funds children’s cancer charities.

The lads, from Banbridge, Co Down, finally got to climb the Tanzanian peak after an earlier trip to Africa’s tallest peak was put back due to Covid. The months waiting were not wasted, however, with training treks in the Mournes and charity money gathered up for a cause close to the group’s heart.

Stuart said that what the crew “lacked in fitness they more than made up for in positive mental attitude”. The mammoth trek was around three years in the planning, but culminated with a six day hike to get to the top fo the 5,895 meter mountain and back down again.
