A forty year old Irishman will enjoy his Christmas dinner at the top of one of the worlds highest mountains this year.
While his wife Debra and the rest of his family tuck into the turkey and ham back home in Ballnabranna, close to Carlow town, Oliver Towey will be dining some 19,000 feet above sea level at the top of Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa and the sixth highest peak in the world.
He's scaling the heights to raise money for a homeless charity and admits the distance between him and his loved ones on a special day will be tough to cope with.
