National Three Peaks Challenge

Over the course of two days, you will trek around 26 miles and ascend to a total height of almost 3000m. You will also be one of the first hikers on the day to take on Ben Nevis, and Scafell Pike will be conquered at night! Finish your epic challenge on Wales' infamous peak and celebrate with your team mates. This is a tough challenge which requires a good level of fitness as well as grit and determination. 

However your hard work will be rewarded with spectacular views and a huge sense of achievement as you conquer the three highest peaks in England, Scotland, and Wales.
