On the 10th January the Sperrintrekkers had the absolute pleasure of hosting Malachi Cush and the crew of UTV’s Seven Thirty Show on a trek in the Sperrins. 
The weather was miserable but the craic was great. We set Malachi the new year challenge of getting fit in the great outdoors by climbling to the top of Slieve Gallion!
The weather was miserable but the craic was great. We set Malachi the new year challenge of getting fit in the great outdoors by climbling to the top of Slieve Gallion!With icy weather and poor visibility due to the mist the trek was tough but enjoyable. As always there was a great sense of achievement when we finally reached the summit at 528m high. Malachi confided that he loved the outdoors and had walked many times in the Mournes and indeed climbed Croagh Patrick but had never walked in the Sperrins.
Two experienced walk leaders, Sam and Ronnie from Mid-Ulster Walking Club were on hand to keep Malachi right in terms of the proper walking equipment needed for such a walk as well as point out the sights along the way.We look forward to welcoming Malachi back to the first Winter Warmer Walking Festival on the 29th & 30th January were we will be climbing Slieve Gallion once again among many other Sperrin peaks. Why not join us!
The feature will be shown on UTV tonight at 7.30pm!
