Ever climbed a mountain in the dark before?:
Ben Nevis Night Hike
Duration: 9 hours
Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain, rises from near sea-level to stand at 4,408ft (1,344m) above the town of Fort William. A major challenge, many will attempt to climb The Ben but very few will climb it in the dark!
This is a fantastic new challenge for 2012 which will allow you to experience the magic of Ben Nevis in the dark! One of our outstanding Mountain Leaders will take care of you, navigating you all the way to the summit and back down again at sunrise.

3 Peaks, 3 Countries, 3,407 metres!:
National Three Peaks
Duration: 2 days
The Mountain and Glen Three Peaks Challenge is a superb test of body and spirit! Taking in the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales respectively, the challenge is to complete all three within 24 hours. It sounds a tall order but it can be done (with a little help from us of course!) Starting in Fort William, the first challenge is the brooding mass of Ben Nevis. On completion we head directly to the Lake District for phase two, Scafell Pike. Again, on completion we head off for our final leg, up the steep slopes of Snowdon in Wales. Sleeping and eating are attempted in the vehicle between mountains making for a tough Challenge in every sense!
This is our premium service and can take place on a date to suit you and your team.
