The most well known of the Three Peaks is the National Three Peaks Challenge. This challenge involves climbing the highest peaks of Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike), and Wales (Snowdon), usually within a 24 hour period.

Starting from Fort William in Scotland, or from Llanberis in Wales, teams also have the challenge of transporting themselves some 450 miles to the remaining two peaks.

Perhaps lesser known, but just as popular, is the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, a circular route starting and finishing at Horton-In-Ribblesdale, north Yorkshire.

This 25 mile route visits the summits of Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough, and is often attempted within a 12 hour period. This challenge makes great training for the larger national Three Peaks Challenge.

A brand new event for 2012. This is the next step from the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. Taking in some spectacular Scottish Munros, the challenge is to climb Merrick (Dumfries & Galloway), Ben Lomond (Trossachs), and Ben Nevis (Highland) - a total of some 3,500 metres climb, 26 miles walk, and 200 miles drive between the mountains.

For most people, this will take around 18 hours. The first organised event will be held in summer 2012, and is open to teams consisting of 3 climbers and 1 driver. Click for details.
