The three peaks challenge involves walking 25 miles while climbing 2940m and driving 466 miles in 24 hours. The 3 peaks are the tallest in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scarfell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon). We did it as a group of 10 including a very kind driver who didn’t walk. My legs have never been so stiff and tired, I can hardly get up the stairs 2 days later!
Walking in the dark is hard, especially on the top of a mountain in the fog. We lost the path for a while and lost time. Consequently we came in a bit late. Total time: 27 hours.
