Owain Wyn Evans is set to complete his Children in Need challenge as he embarks on the final day of his Four Nations Cycle. The Radio 2 presenter made his way home to Wales on Thursday, welcomed by steep hill climbs and some of his famous Welsh friends.
Final Stage Through South Wales
The challenge has taken him across Scotland, Northern Ireland and Scotland since it began on Monday. On Friday, Owain will complete the final stage of his 400-mile cycle, which will take him through south Wales before finishing in the heart of Cardiff.
At the end of the penultimate day, which saw the presenter cover 85 miles from Welshpool to Blaenavon in 12 hours, Owain found out he had already raised an incredible £2.4 million. During the day he was surprised by friend Carol Vorderman for a boost, and was met by H from Steps at the finish line.
Overcoming The Tumble
The day finished with a climb on The Tumble, one of Owain's biggest fears ahead of the challenge. He said: "A lot of people said before the challenge, 'You probably won't be able to do The Tumble, you might have to get off and push it,' and it always came from a place of love. There was not at any point pressure for me to do The Tumble, except from myself. But I did it!"
Owain suffered a knee injury shortly after the challenge began before later falling off his bike and hitting his shoulder against the kerb. He also received a message from his favourite primary school teacher, which left the former weatherman feeling overwhelmed.
How to Follow and Donate
Owain has already raised over £2 million for Children in Need. His route to the finish line in Cardiff has been mapped out, and supporters can follow the challenge live and find out how to donate.
