38 Munro's, 250Km - the team have completed their 10 day recce in Scotland

Alex, Tom and Ceri finished their final day of training with 6 challenging Munro's. These included the 3 Munro's which make up the Five Sisters of Kintail. Most were over 1000m, and one particularly tough one had a 1 in 3m climb which the team were pleased to complete in just 90 minutes! These particular Munro's were very rocky and involved a lot of scrambling towards the summits.

A total of over 38 Munro's and a distance of 250km have been achieved in the 10 day recce. On this occasion the trip was more about exploring the various routes and areas than about fitness training. The guys also met seasoned walkers and friendly 'Munro Baggers' along the way who not only passed on valuable advice but showed enormous interest and support for the Mission and the focus behind it. The team are especially grateful to those who very kindly donated en route! The next training session in Scotland will be in June when it is hoped that all the Munro's will have been sponsored. Check out our brand new Sponsor a Munro website.
