The 3 peaks is a challenge involving climbing all 3 of the highest mountains in England (Scaffel Pike), Scotland (Ben Nevis) and Wales (Snowdon). The main difference between this and the 3 day 3 peaks challenge is that the accommodation is hotel instead of camping as we roll right through on the second night its important to get a good rest on the first. Also in terms of physical fitness you will need to be of at least a moderate level, capable of running 10km comfortably as a minimum. If you are unsure about your fitness please get in contact to see if you are suitable.

It’s important to note that although this is an empowering and energising trip it is far from a typical holiday. There will be times when you’re tired, achy, sweaty and maybe even ask yourself why you did this? The feeling of accomplishment, stunning views, memories that last a lifetime and the fact we are all here to support a great cause are a few reasons that make the moments of discomfort worth it.

I can show you the way, I can help instil the fundamentals in you to get you to the top and I can even hold your hand up the mountain but I can’t do it for you. By signing up to this I need a level of commitment from yourself that you will prepare adequately and turn up with a half decent level of fitness. I reserve the right to pullyou out at any stage of the trip if I feel your safety is severely compromised or you are majorly affecting the groups chances of completing the challenge. I will be on hand for training advice and guidance in the lead up.

What is the total mileage and total elevation?
Approximately 37km of hiking with a 10,000ft elevation gain.

What level of fitness should I have?
Ideally the ability to run 10km in 55 minutes or under. This is not essential if you show a strong desire to commit to training to achieve this.
