Owain Wyn Evans Children in Need Four Nations Cycle, Digi Mart USA News (Wales): Radio 2 presenter Owain Wyn Evans is set to complete his Children in Need challenge, a 400-mile Four Nations Cycle, on its final day. According to WalesOnline, he will finish the last stage through south Wales in the heart of Cardiff.
The challenge has already taken him across Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales since he started on Monday. He made his way home to Wales on Thursday, welcomed by what he described as “killer climbs” up steep hills and some of his well-known Welsh friends.
At the end of the penultimate day, Owain covered 85 miles from Welshpool to Blaenavon in 12 hours. He was told he had already raised an incredible £2.4 million.
During the day he was surprised by Carol Vorderman for a much-needed boost, and was met at the finish line by H from Steps.
The day ended with a climb up The Tumble, one of Owain’s biggest fears before the challenge. He said that many people had told him before the ride that he might have to get off and push, and that the comments had come from a place of love.
He added that the pressure to tackle the climb had come only from himself: “But I did it!”
