Derg to Nevis 2026

06/06/2026

Unfortunately the Mourne Way Marathon was called off today due to weather conditions and flooding.
This is very disappointing for Canon Peter, especially as Peter and family were in Rostrevor since Friday evening but safety comes first, and I'm sure Peter will be ready to go when the new date comes around.

Thank you so much who have donated so far!

The team took on the Sawel and Dart mountains in the Sperrins this past Saturday, on what was a wet and windy day.
The team battled the elements and challenging terrain to summit both mountains, getting a little wet along the way 😅😂

We are just over two months away from the hike of Ben Nevis.
As we approach the big one, all your support is greatly appreciated, to help with this great cause.

On Friday 8th of May, Julie McCann and the Royal British Legion in Castlederg held a table quiz with all funds going to the Derg to Nevis fundraising effort, and it was a great success. The room was absolutely packed, and a great night's craic was had.
Thank you to everyone who attended, and who donated prizes and money.
We hope to have more fundraising events in the near future so keep an eye 👀

The Ben Nevis hike is fast approaching, and so all support is appreciated.
