Ireland bound

Date Posted: Fri 29th Jun 2007

Four members of the Paver Smith team today travel to Ireland in a bid to conquer its eight highest mountains - in one day.

Jade Mallia, Martyn Best, Charlotte Banner and Dougal Paver have joined a team of clients and agency friends to help raise funds for Claire House Children's Hospice. Their target is £10,000.

"Ten grand for a weekend on the gargle isn't bad," said agency MD Dougal Paver.

In between a Friday and Saturday night session in O'Connor's Bar, Killarney, lies the formidable Magillicuddy's Reeks range of mountains. All but one of its nine peaks have to be conquered in just seven hours.

"A breakfast of white pudding, black pudding, soda bread, rashers, sausages, fried bread, scrambled eggs, beans, tomatoes and a pot of tea should see us right," added a confident Dougal.
