BARF Double Conquers Mourne 500

Colm Kelly and Kathleen Monteverde, BARF members and now Mourne 500 veterans

Two separate attempts were mounted on the Mourne 500 on 27 July 2013, with Colm Kelly and Dave Evans having had it in the diary for some time, and separately Kathleen Monteverde seeing her chance and going for it.  An early injury to Dave Evans saw him pull out on Pigeon, with Colm and Kathleen then joining forces for the round.

Kathleen finished up in 17 hours and 14 minutes, with Colm rolling in just 5 minutes behind in 17 hours and 19 minutes.  Another blisteringly hot day at times, occasionally shrouded in fog, so congratulations go to both Kathleen and Colm for taking the sensible decision to run the attempt together after Dave's misfortune.

Dave, it's still out there for you!
