Monday 5th September 2011
After sleeping until 14:45 the team awoke to a beautiful day! The support team packed up their daysacks and cooked them some more pasta! Tom, Alex and Jack headed off on the road bikes to the foot of Bla Bheinn for the final munro on Skye. The climb of this munro was dedicated to Private Tony Rawson, of the Royal Anglians and was sponsored by Chris Laing. Graham headed up the munro with the team, joined by Lucy and Jack. It was fairly easy going with a good path most of the way up although lots of scrambling towards the end. It took them 4 hrs in total which was very good going.
They then hopped back on the bikes for a very long cycle off Skye, beyond Morvich and on to Ratagan where they will stay tonight at the youth hostel. They will be able to afford a later start tomorrow as they have completed the long cycle tonight. Tom and Alex are doing incredibly well.
The team have now successfully climbed 208 munros!
