National Three Peaks

The National Three Peaks is an iconic walking challenge where participants will attempt to climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales. Typically the challenge is attempted in 24 hours, with climbers going up Ben Nevis (1345m), Sca Fell Pike (978m) and Yr Wyddfa (1085m) also commonly known as Snowdon. A support vehicle transports participants between the mountains who can expect to spend 13 hours climbing and 11 hours driving.

Logistics

Careful planning for the National Three Peaks is key, a lot of time is spent in a vehicle and having cut-off times will help keep you on track for a successful challenge. Depending on the time of year, you would want to vary your start time. The challenge can typically begin at 6am, Noon and 5pm, it really does depend on maximising daylight hours. If you can avoid climbing between Midnight & 4am, it will help you feel more rested for the final climb.
