LAST Sunday morning, April 25 saw Andrea Scally climbing Croghan Hill for the 25th time during the month of April.
This saw her exceeding the height of Mount Blanc in the process.
Andrea took on the most challenging biffo challenge to date supporting the two worthy charities, Offaly Hospice and Offaly Search and Recovery team.
A total of 21.5 climbs would have equalled the height of Mount Blanc but Andrea decided to climb it 25 times.

Offaly Search and Recovery volunteers continue their civic commitment to the Banagher Birr area.
Following on from their clean up of Cromwell s Tower on the grounds of the Shannon Bank Park Banagher which was well received last year. The major job was hailed a huge success by the people of Banagher as the first steps were taken to restore the tower to its former glory. A job that no doubt will help to make this one of only two Martello towers to be built away from the coast to become a gem in the tourist trail in Offaly in the future.
