National Three Peaks Walk | |
| Have you completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks Walk and now want another challenge? Why not consider the National Three Peaks Walk. The National Three Peaks Walk takes in the highest mountains in Great Britain and there is a traditional challenge to complete all three mountains within 24 hours! Of course you don't have to accept the 24 hour challenge, you can take as long as you like. Many people choose to do one mountain a day over a long weekend. Not for the faint-hearted, this walk is usually started in Scotland with Ben Nevis, the highest of the three mountains at 1,344m. Once completed, walkers are transported to Scafell Pike in the Lake District for the second climb. At 978m, Scafell Pike may be the lowest summit of the three, however it's steep ascent makes it arguably the most challenging. With Scafell Pike under your belt it's off to Wales for the final mountain - Snowdon at 1,085m. Click here for more information on this amazing challenge. |
