About the National three Peaks three Day Challenge

Why not challenge yourself and scale the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales in three days? Ben Nevis is 1,343 metres (4,406 feet), Scafell Pike is 978 metres (3,208 feet) and Mount Snowdon is 1,085 metres (3,560 feet)

This is a fantastic opportunity to test your limits and set yourself a real challenge. It will be an adventure to remember!
