Ben Nevis (1345m) – Scafell Pike (978m) – Snowdon (1085)

The National Three Peaks takes in the three highest mountains in the UK, Ben Nevis in Scotland at 1345m, Scafell Pike in England at 978m and Snowdon in North Wales at 1085m . The aim of the challenge is to complete all three mountains in 24hours including the traveling time between them. It is not every day that you just pop out and walk up three mountains in 24hours so in order to complete the route preparation is key.

The challenge starts in Fort William with an early assault on Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in our challenge which effectively starts at sea level up to its summit at 1345m. On returning to the vehicle we proceed to the Lake District to take on England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike at 978. Then we make our way down to our final objective, Snowdon in North Wales at 1085m. The timing starts from the moment we leave the transport in Fort William to when we meet the transport in Llanberis.
