About the National 3 Peaks in 3 days :

We are specialists in bespoke private tours. Just contact us if you would like to discuss.

Get ready for an adventure to remember with the National 3 Peaks Challenge! Rather than the 24 hour challenge we take a more sedate pace and over 3 exhilarating days, you’ll conquer the highest peaks in the England, Scotland and Wales, one each day, all while soaking in the breathtaking scenery that surrounds these amazing peaks.

After an overnight in Glasgow, we will travel through the beautiful Scottish Highlands before tackling the mighty Ben Nevis.

On day 3, we ascend England’s highest peak, Scafell Pike, and on the final day, we triumphantly finish our challenge at Snowdon in Wales.

Each evening we will arrive at our hotel, with a well-earned shower and food while we share heroic stories and awesome photos taken throughout the day.

Though this challenge offers a more relaxed pace than the traditional 3 Peaks Challenge, it still demands a good level of fitness. Each climb is expected to take between 5-8 hours, but the exact time will depend on the group’s pace. Throughout the course, you’ll be guided by experienced mountain leaders and supported by a dedicated transport vehicle and driver, ensuring a smooth and safe adventure.

Kind words from fellow adventurers

“The experience was something i’ll never forget!”

Me and some friends took part in the National 3 Peaks Challenge and from start to finish Martyn and the team were professional, laid out exactly what was going to happen and were always on hand to help with any questions. The experience was something i’ll never forget. I would recommend Advocate Events to anyone partaking in such activities.

Darren.B + 3 Peaks Challenge

“I cannot praise them highly enough!”

I’ve participated in three challenges with Advocate Events: a Snowdon climb, the National 3 Peaks, and the Irish Peaks. Each event was impeccably organized, thanks to Martyn, Jo, and their team. Their communication, professionalism, and meticulous planning ensured I felt safe and supported throughout. I highly recommend Advocate Events for anyone seeking similar adventures!

Sarah.C + 3 Peaks – Snowden – Irish Twin Peaks

“… an absolute professional as well as a fantastic motivator ..”

I’ve worked with Martyn on two corporate challenge events for charity. On both occasions he was an absolute professional as well as a fantastic motivator and a calming presence during the tumultuous exercise of garnering the team, raising the money and doing the actual challenge!

I would highly recommend Martyn and Advocate Events for anyone looking to do a successful challenge event.

Celeste.G + Charity and corporate events

“Everything about the whole thing was brilliant and such an enjoyable experience”

Thank you so much for organising a superb event. Everything about the whole thing was brilliant and such an enjoyable experience. Enjoyed every conversation we had before we met and it was great that we all got on so well with the great banter on the bus. Really want to do something else now so I’m sure we will meet again.

Ben.J + 5 Peaks Challenge

“I thank you and Advocate events for a trip of a life time!”

Truly a remarkable experience for this challenging event. Cannot begin to describe the way you feel when you are actually starting the climb through the rainforest. Seeing so much wonderful natural vegetation and the way of life of the people living and farming. The moorlands then become more barren and the ever changing weather conditions rising above the clouds. The alpine desert onwards and upwards is harsh. The climb to the summit will be ingrained in my memory forever. The Rama and teamraha were unreal – such a happy group of people who worked continuously day and night. Very professional – knew our group inside out and got us to the summit – INCREDIBLE! Martyn – I felt safe, looked after like a queen and I thank you and Advocate events for a trip of a life time !

Lavinia.L + Kilimanjaro

Frequently asked questions…

How big will the group be?

We operate small-group adventures and will normally have between 5 and 8 participants on this event.

What is the pace of the hike?

Ultimately the pace is set by the group to some degree. The advantage of the 3 peaks in 3 days is that we can take a more steady pace to enable everyone the best chance of achieving all 3 summits. Traditionally each mountain is between 5 and 8 hours.

How many guide are on each mountain?

We have 1 mountain leader for every 10 people. You may ask, what if someone needed to come down the mountain early? In our experience, the main reason for someone not to reach the peak is down to fitness level, and in most cases, they are happy to walk back at their own pace.

Where this is not possible our driver will normally come up to meet the individual and escort them down.

Where injuries are involved your mountain leader will decide for the group based on the information at the time.

To date we have never had a group unable to summit a mountain due to someone having to come down the mountain early.

Do I need to train for this event?

A reasonable level of fitness is required to complete the 3 peaks in 3 days. We will give individual advice to hikers based on their current level of fitness.

You will have a much more enjoyable time if you have a good level of fitness. Walking, running, swimming and of course hiking are all good ways of building up your cardiovascular fitness and will get you ready for this adventure.

Taking 3 days rather than the traditional 24 hours gives the best opportunity for everybody to complete this awesome event.
