She said the pair give up a lot of their time and go “above and beyond” to make the hikes enjoyable, as well as raising thousands for – £8,700 in just six months for the Southern Hospice, Action Cancer and Co Armagh woman Aine Maney.

“This walking initiative is for women to get together, meet new people, have a chat, a laugh and a cuppa at the summit,” she said.

“The outdoors and adventure really are good for our mental health and keeping us all fit.

The photos we see on social media each week with smiles on theirs faces , enjoying the great outdoors and making new lasting friendships is proof that this has been and continues to be one of the best inspiration set ups of a group in years and given lots of women a goal and enjoy the hikes with friends and family .
