1,500 climb Slemish Mountain in Co Antrim for St Patrick's Day

rte.ie —

Over 1,500 people climbed Slemish Mountain in Co Antrim on St. Patrick's Day. This mountain is linked to St. Patrick, who is said to have herded sheep there after being captured. The Mid and East Antrim Council organized the event, which has been a long-standing tradition. This year, good weather attracted a larger crowd. Participants included families and individuals marking personal milestones. The climb takes about an hour, and while a mountain rescue team was present, they were largely unneeded.
