The team have been pushing themselves really hard in this final week - 4am starts are starting to seem normal - but Alex and Tom remain determined as ever.
On Thursday, the team climbed 7 Munros.
If that wasn’t tiring enough, there was a 25km cycle at the end of the day.
Earlier in the day, the support team had met Andrew Mathefon and his son Alex. They welcomed everyone to their farmhouse where they could dry their boots on the AGA, have a warm shower, and do some washing. This was such a luxury after spending the last 5 nights in wild camps!
The Mathefon’s kindness didn’t stop there! Alex Mathefon runs an food export business, and asked the Munro Mission team to be the face of a new cereal snack. Lots of pictures were taken, while Alex M stocked the team up with food.
In the evening, members of the support team hosted a reception at the Ben Wyvis Hotel, located just outside of Inverness. Guests included Nite Watches, local landowners and bereaved families.
A wild camp was set up at the foot of Ben Wyvis. Lewis didn’t want Alex and Tom to feel left out as the support team enjoyed the reception, so he set up a dining table for the boys to welcome them after their long cycle!
End of Day 4
