How tough is the challenge?
The National Three Peaks Challenge is graded as tough.
This is the perfect challenge for people who are of an adventurous spirit and an open mind and who have taken part in a similar event previously and are prepared to put in the necessary training to push themselves on a more challenging trek.
You will be:
- Trekking for around 18 hours during the challenge.
- Covering over 28 miles of undulating terrain. Over a full marathon distance, but with 3 hills!
- Ascending a total of 3000m in a single day. Almost the same amount of ascent as summiting Kilimanjaro!
- Summiting the 3 highest hills in the UK, Ben Nevis (1344m) Scafell Pike (977m) and Snowdon (1085m)
What level of fitness is required?
The National 3 Peaks challenge involves early mornings, long days and sustained periods of ascents and descents. It should ideally be undertaken by someone who has trained on similar terrain within the UK.
It is recommended you start training as early as possible, ideally at least 4-6 months before your challenge.
What about accommodation?
You will spend the first night in hostel style same sex dormitories in the Glen Nevis youth hostel in Fort William, Scotland. This hostel is at the very foot of Ben Nevis making your start on Saturday morning very easy.
On the Saturday night you will need to sleep on the bus between Scafell Pike and Snowdon.
Are meals provided?
Whilst on the challenge the event organisers (Charity Challenge) will provide the following meals:
- Breakfast on the first morning before Ben Nevis
- Packed lunch to take on Ben Nevis
- Packed lunch to take on Snowdon
The event organisers advise you to bring enough bottles to ensure you have 2 litres of water on you at all times. They will have water available for you to refill your bottles at the mini-bus after each mountain. You are encouraged to bring some of your own preferred snacks to keep you going during the challenge.
Please note that dinner on both evenings is not included
