Adventures
Three Peaks 24 hour Challenge
Ben Nevis is 1344 metres, Scafell Pike is 978 metres and Mount Snowdon is 1085 metres; Would you accept the challenge of scaling the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales in 24 hours? You do the walking, we guide you, transport you, feed you, advise and encourage you!
Why choose Mountain and Glen? Because unlike some Three Peaks providers, we don't just transport you between mountains. We offer a professionally led, quality, personal service. Why? Because, quite simply, you have a greater chance of success in a group led by one of our Mountain leaders.

Itinerary
Duration: 2 days
Day One/Two - (All timings are flexible) After collection from Glasgow or Prestwick airports we aim to arrive in Fort William by lunchtime. After refreshments we head to Glen Nevis for the start of your Challenge, normally around early afternoon. As you set off the stopwatch starts!. From here on in the timings will depend on your efforts on the mountains. Ben Nevis takes most teams around five hours. On completion we take a moment to make ourselves comfortable in the vehicle and replenish our energy stores before heading to the Lake District for the second peak, Scafell Pike. This proves the most difficult phase for many teams as it will be attempted in the dark! Headtorches are a must as you follow your Mountain Leader up the rocky slopes to the summit. On return to the team transport, a cooked breakfast awaits. After a quick change we depart for Wales.
On arrival in Snowdonia we head through the Llanberis Pass to the foot of Mount Snowdon. This final leg will be completed in daylight. On completion the clock stops and you will be given your total time for the entire challenge. Successful teams will each receive a certificate of achievement and everyone gets one of our limited edition Three Peaks T shirts before we head back to civilisation. For those wishing to stay the night locally accommodation can be arranged.
