Entries opening for North to South 400

Featuring a ferry, spectacular views across the North Atlantic, Malin Head and, of course, a 24 hour McDonalds!

I’ll be carrying out a final route check on Sunday and updating gps and route sheet.

With about 4000 m of climbing this should not be the toughest of 400’s, but close observers of the profile may notice a couple of sharp climbs, including the “Gap of Mamore” from the old Audax Ireland banner.  The Sperrins start at about 280Km offering some challenge to tired legs.
