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 2013. 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 2013, and is open to teams consisting of 3 climbers and 1 driver. Click for details.

If you would like to take part in a friendly, well organised challenge with a group of like-minded individuals, then the Open Bus Three Peaks Challenge may be just for you!

The 2013 event will also be open to teams wishing to provide their own transport, and the date is the weekend of 29th & 30th June 2013. The cost is £250 per person using our transport, £250 per team if supplying your own transport and support drivers. Very limited places available.

Whilst many groups organise their own challenge, you should not underestimate the difficulty of any of the challenges featured on this website.
