24 hour National 3 Peak Challenge 1:8 - (min 6 / max 40) The challenge of walking up the highest mountain in Scotland, England and Wales is no easy task, particularly when the aim is to achieve this in 24 hours. The first day is set aside for travel and preparation for the task ahead. After a good night’s sleep in one of Fort William’s fine hotels we depart for Ben Nevis which we aim to complete in 5 hours. Transport will then take us to Cumbria where we will walk up Scafell Pike; in late season this will be done in the dark with the aid of head torches, 4 hours is an average time for the ascent. The final journey will take us to Snowdonia where we do our best to be up and down Snowdon within our 24 hour deadline. The 3 peaks has typically been a charity event for many years and is a great way to raise money for a charity of your choice, please get in touch if you require any advice of previous group choices. Course dates 2011 dates coming soon Base location Fort William is typically our start location. Full details will be sent out with confirmation of your booking. Previous experience The mountains of the UK can be a harsh environment so please come prepared to be walking in all weathers. To be able to complete this challenge an above average amount of hill fitness will be needed.
