THREE COUNTRIES. THREE PEAKS. THREE DAYS.
The three peaks challenge is widely considered on of Britain's toughest outdoor challenge as well as one of its most stunning treks. Climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon over three days means you will be climbing over 1,500m and trekking for over 25 miles.
As we're not tackling the mountains over 24hrs it gives us the opportunity to take the path less trodden and really experience the stunning views presented on this trip. Think lush rolling hills, breathtaking lakes and fab summit moments.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
The three peaks challenge is well suited to fit hillwalkers, capable of trekking for 5+ hours a day, carrying a light (5-8kg) rucksack. On the whole we follow footpaths each day and tackle some hilly, uneven terrain!
There will be vehicle support during the trip, so a change of clothes is never far away and this helps to keep the packs light. Not sure whether you're ready? No sweat! Drop us a note and we'll be happy to talk it through with you.
