Renovating and fitting a new kitchen in Halla Ronain

Our Local doctor here on Inis Mór, Dr Evangelos Drosos is currently in Swedish Lapland getting ready to start an amazing race of 185km on foot in freezing temperatures. The race is in the small town of Överkalix, in the Swedish province of Norbotten.

The 185 km race will go in a loop from Överkalix to the north and then back again to Överkalix, crossing the Arctic Circle twice. Dr Evangelos will travel on frozen rivers, lakes, swamps and through forests in temperatures as low as -30. The trail will be marked. However, if there is fresh snow or a lot of wind it will be difficult to find the trail. Dr Evangelos will be sleeping out in a tent in these freezing conditions.

The Bright Equipment Lapland Arctic Ultra 2025 race will start on March 2nd. The time for the start is 09:30 AM. And finish on the 6th March.

There is a live link so we will be able to follow Dr Evangelos on his amazing adventure crossing the Arctic Circle in Lapland

Dr Evangelos is donating all money raised on his amazing race to Halla Rónáin Inis Mór.

Our goal for this year is to renovate and fit a new kitchen in Halla Ronain.

As you can see from the pictures there's a lot of work to be done turn it into a functional working kitchen.

We are extremely grateful to Dr Evangelos and to you all your donations as a new kitchen will be a major advantage for the future of Halla Ronain.

A chairde,

Tá ár ndochtúir áitiúil anseo in Inis Mór, an Dr. Evangelos ag tabhairt faoi rása dúshlánach (185km ar cos)thall sa Laplainn i gcuinsí faoin reophointe, tá sé ag fáil faoi réir don rása faoi láthair! Beidh an rása ar siúl i mbaile beag sa tSualainn darbh ainm Överkalix i limistéir Norbotten.

I gcúrsa an rása, beidh ‘loop’ ann ó Överkalix suas Ó Thuaidh agus ansin ar ais go Överkalix arís, ag trasnú an chiorcail Artaigh faoi dhó. Tabharfaidh Dr. Evangelos aghaidh ar aibhneacha reoite, lochanna, seascainn and coillte a bheas faoi bhun an reophointe ag -30 in áiteanna. Leagfar an cosán/ bealach siúl amach dó roimhré. Á rá sin, má thiteann sneachta úr ar bharr an chosáin, beidh sé deacair air an cosán a aithint. Beidh Dr. Evangelos ag coladh taobh amuigh i gcampa sna cuinsí seo. Tosóidh an ‘The Bright Equipment Lapland Arctic Ultra 2025 race’ ar an 2ú Márta. Tosaóidh sé ag a 9:30am agus críochnóidh sé ar an 6ú Márta.

Beidh nasc beo ann ionas go mbeidh muid in ann súil a choinneáil ar dul chun cinn Dr. Evangelos agus é ag tabhairt faoin éacht seo sa Laplainn.

Beidh aon síntiús a bhailíonn Dr. Evangelos ag dul i dtreo Halla Rónáin ar Inis Mór.

Is é sprioc na bliana seo ná chun athchóiriú agus cistin nua a chur isteach i Halla Rónáin.
