About the challenge
The Three Peaks Challenge is described as one of the UK's ultimate challenges which involves trekking to the top of the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales - with the aim to complete it in 24 hours*!
The group begins with a morning ascent of Ben Nevis (1,344m) before transferring to the Lake District and climbing Scafell Pike (978m) through the night with only your head torch for light. You'll then have an early morning ascent of your final mountain, Snowdon (1,085m) to complete the challenge and finish with a celebratory breakfast.
Included in the trip is a mountain guide, transport (starting and finishing at Chester Train station), accommodation (bunk house Friday night), breakfast on Saturday morning, 3,000m of non-technical climbing and an amazing experience!
The Three Peaks was a wonderful experience which went way beyond my expectations. I met a fantastic group of people and had so much fun!
