Climb Croagh Patrick. Hiking books, food and water essential. It's a tough clumb 2.5 hours up and 1.5 hours down. Fantastic views.

There's a lot written about Ireland's holy mountain, and even if you are not a pilgrim it is worth the 2 hr climb for the view from the top on a clear day - it is said that there are 365 islands and inlets in Clew Bay and the view out over them is breathtaking. Do not underestimate how difficult the final ascent (and descent is) as the last 200m or so are slippery shale. Wear sensible boots and take a stout stick!

Croagh Patrick, a soaring cone-shaped peak that rises above Clew Bay in Co Mayo, is where the Irish have always turned for guidance and reassurance before the harvest. People have been coming for well over 3,000 years, since our Neolithic ancestors first recognised its potency as a sacred site. Later, people come to worship the Celtic sun god, Lugh, and then in 441AD the site was cannily co-opted by St Patrick, who reputedly fasted here for 40 days and nights before banishing the snakes from Ireland. Croagh Patrick is the perfect spot to experience a sense of the inclusive, exultant form of early Irish Christianity when it was still infused with the innate love of nature – the Pagan biophilia - of the Irish people. Around 20,000 to 25,000 pilgrims still climb the mountain each year on the last Sunday in July (the nearest Sunday to the original pagan festival of Lughnasa). This walk is rewarded by the glorious views from the summit: the Nephin Beg Mountain’s and the grey waters of Clew Bay glinting over the 365 emerald islands. On top of the mountain you feel connected to the sanctity our ancestors perceived in all things, in every raindrop and honey-suckle petal - the illuminating life-force that animates all things.

Croagh Patrick, known as the Holly Mountain is a place of ancient history. It is five miles from the town of Westport. It take roughly 2 hours to climb to the summit and about 1.5 hours to descend. Magnificent views of Clew Bay and the surrounding south Mayo countryside are to be had from all stages of the ascent of the mountain. You can even say a prayer in the church built by my grandfather. The mountain rises to a height of 2510 feet/765m above sea level. It is advisable to be prepared for all weather conditions.

Nicknamed the Reek, is a 750 metres (2,500 feet) mountain and an important site of pilgrimage in Mayo. It is 8 km from Westport, overlooks Clew Bay. It is the fourth highest mountain in Mayo after Mweelrea, Nephin and Barrclashcame. Last Sunday of July thousands climb as part of the pilgrimage. Croagh Patrick is fairly difficult in places, as it's steep, there are uneven rocks to get over and the upper slopes are slippery with loose scree. The tricky upper slopes require good fitness and flexibility (and a head for heights!).
