Three Peaks Challenge |
Looking for a Three Peaks Challenge in 2008? Click image above. The National Three Peaks Challenge. The highest mountains in England (Scafell Pike: 978m) Scotland (Ben Nevis: 1344m) & Wales (Snowdon: 1085m) offer a great challenge for anyone hoping to climb them back to back - more so if trying to complete them all in 24 hours. Apart from the scaling of each mountain, you will need to transport yourself and your equipment from one hill to the next. The most popular choice today is usually by car, MPV or minibus, with some 450 miles of driving thrown in. Teams who are struggling for transport should read this page for some transport and support options. For anyone who may want a more unique 3 Peaks attempt, the challenge has also been completed by cycling the course, uni-cycling each peak, running the entire distance, and each year there is a 3 Peak Yacht Race For Three Peaks Challenge history and archives - please click here..!. |
Environment and Community. As the National 3 Peaks 24 Hour Challenge has grown more and more popular in recent years, a great amount of pressure has been put on public footpaths, car parks and local services, communities and even some mountain rescue teams. This is especially true at Wasdale Head, so please read the information included on the "24 hour challenge" webpage to ensure that your event will be low impact with minimum disruption. The Three Peaks Challenge has attracted a some unhelpful media interest more recently - so please make sure that you are aware of the issues, and sensitive to the communities and areas which you will visit. " Only leave footprints, only take photographs" |
Leadership and Experience. Before you embark upon your 3 Peaks Challenge attempt, you will need to make sure that you and your group have the fitness, endurance, basic hiking or trekking knowledge and experience, and that you have the right equipment and clothing available so that your attempt will be a safe one. A challenge team member should have an average to good basic standard of both stamina and fitness. Your group leader should have relevant experience to spot mountain exposure amongst your team, and have a good understanding of navigation on the hills. It is possible to hire the services of a qualified mountain guide to lead you around the Three Peaks paths. Merseyventure offer a Mountain Challenge Safety & Support service for corporate, charity and private groups, and also training events. A number of team training events will help you assess your fitness, ability and any new equipment before your challenge. How about the Yorkshire 3 Peaks in 12 hours? Start and finish at Horton-in-Ribbledale, this 25 mile challenge visits Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside & Ingleborough. |
