This classic trek by Global Adventure Challenges will see you summit the three highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales.

You head to Fort William before trekking to the summit of the first and highest peak – Ben Nevis. You then set off for the Lake District to conquer Scafell Pike by night. The final ascent takes place in Snowdonia National Park, to climb the mighty Snowdon!

The target trek time is 15 hours or less, the equivalent available time for the traditional 24 hour Three Peaks Challenge. There is a maximum available trek time of 18 hours. Some of the climb will be in the dark and the terrain varies significantly between the peaks, with rocky and uneven paths. You'll climb around 9,500 feet and walk approximately 22 miles - it's no wonder it is the most highly regarded trekking challenge in the UK!

It's a tough challenge and your boundaries will be pushed, but with the support and care provided you can conquer it. The team will drive through the night, guide you up each mountain, and give the occasional hug and high five when required.

Please note - to complete all 3 mountains within the scope and limitations of the itinerary, there are strict cut off times. Whilst support and encouragement is offered to all trekkers, anyone failing to meet cut offs will exceed the maximum trek time available and be required to return with a guide to the support team.
