The Three Peaks Challenge
- Fancy a challenging mountain climb?
- Scale three of the highest peaks in the UK
- Ascend and Descend approximately 3,000 meters
The 3 Peaks Challenge is one of the most well known and sought after walking challenges in the UK. The aim is to climb the 3 highest peaks in Scotland - Ben Nevis (1,343m), England – Scafell Pike (978m) and Wales – Mount Snowdon (1,085m) in 24 hours. This is a challenge not to be underestimated. Throughout the 24 hours you will be ascending and descending approximately 3,000 meters, and a large part of this will be in darkness and over rough terrain. A good level of fitness and determination is essential as at times you will feel physically and mentally tired, and grateful for the team spirit you will have built. However the sense of achievement and satisfaction from completing the challenge makes it all worthwhile! You will be provided with: An experienced mountain leader, two minibus drivers, one night's accommodation, first nights meal, mountain meals, hot drinks and snacks and FREE T-shirt.

On Friday we will travel up from Brighton to Fort William collecting challengers as we go. This will take most of the day but it's a great chance to get to know the people you'll be completing the challenge with. In the evening we'll enjoy a hot meal before the mountain safety briefing, and then off to bed early for a good night's rest!

The day starts early and after breakfast we will travel by minibus to the base of Ben Nevis, the largest of the three mountains. The 3 Peaks begin! By the early evening you can expect to be ascending Scafell Pike, and then on to Mount Snowdon!
Day 3
You will start Mount Snowdon in the early hours of the morning and should get a fantastic view as the sun comes up, and then be down in time for breakfast! The challenge is completed when the whole team is safely back down from the mountain!
