Saturday, 17th September 2011.
Starting at 10am felt like a massive lie in for the team, who have been getting up at 4am most mornings this week. The support team had cycled in the bikes to the camp so Alex and Tom could begin their penultimate day promptly.
After bacon rolls, courtesy of the EUOTC Training Major, Gerry Lakey, the boys commenced a very long road bike north towards Inchnadamph.
They climbed 2 Munros - Ben More Assynt and Convial - both dedicated to the SAS and sponsored by Lieutenant Colonel Simon Brewis. This included a very craggy and long ridge walk, but Tom and Alex were joined by Henry Snell, Lucy, James Fish and Nick which helped to keep them motivated.
In the afternoon, Tom and Alex embarked on a 74km cycle to the foot of Ben Kilbreck – tomorrow’s penultimate Munro – where a camp was ready to provide some shelter in the pouring rain.
End of Day 4 - 281 Munros climbed
