Big Tick12 National Three Peakz |

|
|
The National Three Peaks walk involves
climbing the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales. These are Scafell
Pike, Ben Nevis and Snowdon respectively. Different people will take different
periods of time to do the 3 peaks. Those who are brave, noble, or just plain
stupid, try to do all 3 within the space of 24 hours - The Three Peaks
Challenge. Try it with Walkz.com. We also offer an
event which takes it a little easier and aims to complete the challenge in 48
hours.
There is no official body, or definition of the Three Peaks Challenge. It is generally accepted that to complete the challenge you must ascend and descend all three peaks, and drive (or be driven) between them, within 24 hours. Mountain routes used vary, but generally involve:- Ben Nevis: Tourist path, starting from the Youth Hostel in Glen Nevis. Scafell Pike: Either the corridor route from Seathwaite or the steeper, shorter route from Wasdale Head. Snowdon: Starting from the Youth Hostel in Llanberis Pass, the Pyg Track and Miners Track are the most popular routes. |
