The Three Peaks Challenge 2015 is fast approaching so now is the time to book the challenge for yourself with Adventurous Ewe.
Adventurous Ewe organise memorable and thrilling adventures for small groups of people. They are an excellent choice of adventure group thanks to their experience, their bespoke service and low impact on the environment. The Three Peaks Challenge is one of their most popular adventures and bookings are now being taken to join them on this test of endurance.
The Three Peaks Challenge takes people up the three highest summits in England, Scotland and Wales; Ben Nevis in the Scottish Highlands, which stands at 1344m, Scafell Pike in the Lake District at 978m and Snowdon in North Wales at 1085m. The Three Peaks Challenge is traditionally often undertaken over 24 hours and Adventurous Ewe keep to this tradition.
You have several choices of dates to undertake the Three Peaks Challenge with Adventurous Ewe this spring and summer.
This year’s dates to take on the Three Peaks Challenge for 2015 with Adventurous Ewe are: 16th – 17th May, 23th – 24th May, 6th – 7th June, 13th – 14th June, 20th – 21st June, 4th – 5th July, 11th – 12th July, 18th – 19th July, 25th – 26th July, 1st – 2nd August, 8th – 9th August, 15th – 16th August, 22nd – 23rd August, 29th – 30th August and 5th – 6th September.
The Adventurous Ewe team will travel up from Snowdonia to Fort William to begin the Three Peaks 2015 Challenge. If you embark upon this challenge with Adventurous Ewe all travel and collection arrangements are flexible within reason. They can even offer a collection service en route from North Wales to Fort William if you live along the way.
You can choose to join the group in Fort William at the minibus or fly to Glasgow on Saturday morning where you can be met by your team leader and taken to the start of the challenge.
The challenge officially begins on a Saturday where you will be climbing Ben Nevis (1344m) with your group.
Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the UK. Interestingly many mistakenly believe the Three Peaks challenge traverses the three highest mountains in the UK but there are actually many mountains in Scotland that are far higher than all the mountains in England and Wales.
When you reach the summit of Ben Nevis you will be rewarded with breath-taking views of the Scottish Highlands before making the descent back to the minibus and then the overnight journey to the Lake District begins.
Torches will be needed for the climb of Scafell Pike in the Lake District as the trek will take place in the early hours of the morning with the hope of reaching the summit by dawn.
The final peak is Snowdon. There will be time for a photo on the summit to commemorate your accomplishment before making the descent down to Llanberis.
You can enjoy a night of rest and celebration at local accommodation upon challenge completion.
The Three Peaks Challenge is one of the most popular adventures but not to be underestimated. It is certainly not for the faint hearted and a firm test of endurance tackling this massive mountains in such a short space of time.
Bookings are now being taken for the 2015 Three Peaks Challenge and spaces are filling up fast so you will want to book with organisations like Adventurous Ewe very soon.
