Story

The Three Peaks (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) are the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales and I’ll be taking on the incredible challenge of climbing these 3 peaks in just 24 hours!

Please show your support by making a donation - I'd also love to hear if you, or anyone you know, have completed this challenge and learn a little about their experiences.

The schedule:

I will be completing the challenge Thursday 5th October - Friday 6th October. At that time of year daylight hours are approximately 7am- 7pm, so half of the challenge will be completed at night – only adding to the level of difficulty.

  1. 6am – 11 am Ben Nevis
  2. 5pm – 9pm Scafell Pike
  3. 2am – 6am Snowdon

The Mountains:

Scafell Pike - Lake District, England - 977 metres
(basecamp at 70 metres) - Total climb of 907 metres (2977 feet)

Snowdon - Snowdonia National Park, Wales - 1085 metres (basecamp at 60 metres) - Total climb of 1025 metres (3364
feet)

Ben Nevis - Fort William, Scotland - 1343 metres (basecamp at 50 metres) - Total climb of 1293 metres (4244 feet)

This makes a grand total of 3225 metres (10585 feet) of climbing, in addition to a total walking length of 40km (practically a marathon).

Donations:

All money goes to a great cause. I have been involved with this charity through my work for the last 3 years and I can tell you the money is being put to great use helping disadvantaged young people gain the skills to get into employment.

Please show your support by making a donation. A donation of £10 represents £1 for every 1000 feet of climbing.

Thank you!
