That's defo the most important bit. Enjoy the training and getting out there consistently.

Everything spot on there. Done 3 peaks 4 times. 3 for charity in mini buses, so that was over a weekend. Our walking crew did it ourselves a few years ago with a dedicated driver. Started at Snowdon at 08-00. Up and down in 2 hours, 45 minutes. Then up to the Lakes, started at Wasdale, then sent our driver all the way around to Seathwaite. Did Scafell Pike, then down Grains gill to where our driver had just pulled up at Seathwaite farm as we were coming through the farm gate! Up to Fort William for the start of the Ben at 02-00. Up to the summit and back down in Glen Nevis at 07-30. Absolutely knackered. We did it mid-June and it was one of the coldest times I have ever spent on the summit of the Ben, and that includes winter, and we all had the correct kit.

Excellent advice. Thank you. Especially having a driver. Being there as opposed to getting it over and done. And of course the banana skins!!

Right. As someone who’s climbed Snowdon and Scafell on separate occasions. NOBODY is reaching the summit of either in a fucking wheelchair!!

Me and two mates completed the challenge last September. We opted for the self driving and we used my company car. I was lucky enough to have my employers put my two mates on our vehicle insurance for the weekend we did the challenge so we structured the driving and resting periods between ourselves. One thing I will say is that after descending snowdon I was only able to drive from pen y pass to colwyn bay before having to pull over because I kept feeling myself drifting off to sleep. Self drive can be done for the challenge but I would recommend a long break / sleep in the car before heading off home. Also I can’t stress enough about having a very good quality head torch and back up torch with plenty of batteries.

Good point on the headtorch. I had someone turn up with a 80 lumen headtorch once. It wasn't bright enough to illuminate their feet, let alone the path ahead. Get a rechargeable one and charge it in the car, so it's fresh.

Great video thanks for sharing the tips ! 😎 In the last few weeks I've done all 3 but hope to do the 3 peaks challenge in 24 hours just need to get my times up first ! I notice you mentioned about training I've been doing a tough section on the sw coast path between boscastle and crackington haven if you do an out and back the elevation gain is 3400 ft over 14 miles so it's a great way to get in shape and get used to going up and down steep climbs. Done the 4 peaks in Brecon 2 weeks ago that's a good one, but next I'm going to try the Yorkshire 3 peaks seems like a great challenge. Can't beat getting out into the mountains away from the crowds something unique about it and it's good for the soul 😎

Have you ever done the "Horseshoe" and "Fan dance" routes of pen y fan? These routes are the hardest I've achieved and I did both without training(not trying to brag, its just likely that I wouldn't have much chance to train for 3 peaks properly), do you think the 3 peak challenge is a similar difficulty or would I need to train? I understand it's physically more difficult but there is rest time during the travelling. If you haven't done those routes, I'd certainly recommend them, especially the "HorseShoe" route.

Three Peaks Challenge is the company I do a lot of work for, there are others about, some good, some bad. Three peaks Challenge have their own vehicles so they are not reliant on coaches and coach drivers which can be a bit of a bind.

How about savouring the qualities of each of these peaks rather than messing about with this pathetic ego trip?
