The National 3 Peaks challenge can be organised and run for you anytime between April and October ideally avoiding the last 2 weeks in June as there are usually thousands of people undertaking this event at that time for charities. Mountains are more enjoyable with some level of solitude!
This event should be thought as an endurance event rather than a simple non-technical mountain walk as this it certainly is not. Many organisations will advertise this event as just that but please be aware to successfully complete this challenge you do need to be in great physical condition and free from any injuries. Previous walking experience in mountain environments is highly recommended before undertaking this challenge. For details of our VIP packages or winter challenges please contact us with your specification.
