Setting a new Irish Mountain Record 👣 The Vandeleur-Lynams Project

[@jimguitarfan]

Those statistics are simultaneously amazing, wonderful....and terrifying, Ellie. Yes, that weather wall must have added so much more overhead to the challenge, I can see from your videos. It says so much for your mental resilience. Phenomenal, all told. I have a couple of trivial questions that I will put on your blog page, if that's okay !

Tremendous! You are 'what it says on the tin' Tough Soles 💪

[@jenuinepanic]

I'm still blown away by this project, so much distance! So much elevation! So much rain! July was horrendous, and you still took the time to document it all. Amazing!

[@ToughSoles]

Thanks so much Jen 🥰

Seldom enjoyed anything on YT as much as following this Summer's project day to day. Incredible stamina, not to mention the logistics. And dear me, the miserable months you did it in!

[@ToughSoles]

Ah thank you so much! 🥰 it really was an incredible experience, not one I’m going to forget

[@brianogrady9883]

Bravo! What an achievement 💪

[@lifesahobby]

68000 m is so impressive . Well done to you both .

[@ToughSoles]

Thank you!

[@pipandbenji]

Well done Ellie on the walking bit and Carl on the planning, it took me 15 years to do the VL's and I am in awe of your achievements. Wonderful!

[@ToughSoles]

Thank you! Having done them in the way I have, I think I now want to go and take 15 years seeing them all again! I want to see some places through the seasons, and deviate out to random points to get different views ☺️ who knows, maybe I’ll start working on the Arderins 😆

[@pipandbenji]

I'm doing the Arderins atm, about 60-70 left, really enjoying it. Most tend to be off the beaten track and almost never meet anyone on them. Its one of my favourite things about Irish hills, once you are not on the big attractions, you have genuine solitude. Good luck to you both in the future with your projects

Love ur work

[@ToughSoles]

Thank you!

[@jenuinepanic]

Best mountain to try in Kerry specifically the Dingle Peninsula, I'm going there soon for some walking, thinking of Mt Brandon?

[@ToughSoles]

Mount Brandon was super fun! The peaks around it look incredible, and there are several routes up so you can pick one depending on the weather / possibly make a loop out of it 😃

When are you two getting married? ❤
