The Munro Mission team is in high spirits after another fabulous day on the Isle of Skye! In the morning the camp was packed up after their guide Graham suggested a nicer camp site on the beach. Afterwards Ceri, Tom, Alex andLewis,Bonnie and Lucy from the support team climbed Sgurr nan Eag, Sgurr Dubh Mor and Sgurr Alasdair on the south end of Skye. Once again, the team were under the wing of Graham Paterson from SKYE HI, who took the team exploring and showed them more 360 panoramic views of Skye's beautiful scenery. Well worth the very hot climb in the blazing sun this morning!
The team only experienced a bit of rain on the top of the 3rd Munro which made the rocks very slippy, and they came off the mountains down a scree filled and near vertical gully known as The Stone Shoot. But the highlight of the day was watching low flying RAF jets from above!
The team returned to the beach site at 3:15pm and decided to move up near Ben Wyvis tonight (a 3hr journey) instead of getting up at 3am tomorrow. They also managed to pack up the vans in a record 20mins!
The team are really enjoying themselves, spending a lot of time laughing (and taking the micky out of Lewis and his Yorkshire accent), which can be a bit dangerous whilst scrambling up Munros! Lewis is glad to have climbed his first 3 Munros, and Tom says that "everyone is quicker, fitter and working better as a team". All in all the team have had a fantastic time on Skye, and Ceri is glad that the RAF jets are keeping a close eye on them!
