Description
The 3 Peaks In 3 Days:
The National Three Peaks (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon) are the highest mountains in Scotland, England, and Wales. Our challenge is to summit these three peaks, one each day.
The 3 Day 3 Peaks Challenge involves climbing the three highest peaks in the UK over three consecutive days, allowing participants to enjoy the stunning scenery these mountains offer. This event is perfect for those who want to challenge themselves without the pressure of completing it within 24 hours. The peaks are tackled in the following order: Ben Nevis (Scotland), Scafell Pike (England), and Snowdon (Wales).
We travel to Fort William on Thursday where we enjoy an overnight stay and team meal. We start with Ben Nevis on Friday morning, then climb Scafell Pike on Saturday, and finish with Snowdon on Sunday. Although this schedule is more relaxed than the 24-hour challenge, it is still demanding, and we recommend participants engage in regular exercise to prepare.
Our goal is to complete each mountain within 6-8 hours, depending on the group’s pace.
