5 Day 3 Peaks Challenge

The 5 Day 3 Peaks Challenge is an attempt to climb the three highest peaks in the UK over 5 days - having a day of rest and leisure in between! These peaks are Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, we complete them in that order. This is a real holiday! The way to do it and really take in and enjoy the sights.

This trip allows us to really appreciate the mountains and magnificent scenery, and have a shower after the walks before enjoying a nice evening meal with a drink. It doesn't mean the walking is easy, as we still have to climb the same mountains, but the transport can be done on the 'rest days' and we also have a chance to have a look at Ambleside/Keswick and Betws Y Coed.

We meet on the Sunday afternoon and finish on the following Friday afternoon.

Even though this is a more relaxed timescale than the other 3 Peaks Challenge, this is a tough event and people participating should have the necessary fitness. We aim to complete each of the mountains within 6-8 hours; however this will depend upon the speed of the group.

The course is guided by qualified mountain leaders.

A typical itinerary may look like this:

Please note: This itinerary is a guide only. It can be subject to change dependent upon viability, course members' fitness, weather conditions or for any other reason the guide may deem necessary.

To do this trip you need to have a reasonable level of fitness. Even though no previous mountaineering experience is required, these are tiring days and you will have to climb the three largest peaks in the UK.

We recommend that you follow a fitness plan in preparation for your challenge, an example of one will be sent to you when you have confirmed your booking.

Although the fitness plan we will send to you has been devised by a fitness professional, this is only provided as a guide and you should seek professional advice before starting your own fitness regime.
