The Three Peaks Challenge
The Challenge
To ascend and descend the three highest peaks in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon) in under 24 hours, finishing the challenge upon returning to the car park of the third.
We highly recommend that anyone considering The Three Peaks Challenge should aim to complete around three months of fitness, stamina and endurance, and lastly - mountain fitness training - to increase their chances of success, and make the whole challenge more enjoyable.
What does the challenge involve?
We will depart from Hereford around 4am and drive up to Fort William where we will begin with an evening ascent of Ben Nevis (1344m) before transferring to the Lake District and climbing Scafell Pike (978m) around 4am with only our head torch for light. We will then have an afternoon ascent of your final mountain, Snowdon (1085m) to complete the challenge.
Included in the trip is a mountain guide, transport (starting and finishing at Hereford Leisure Centre), all fuel costs, a few yummy treats and 3000m of climbing and an amazing experience!
