3 Peaks Challenge

We've just run our first 3 peaks of the season had the best weather you could wish for.

Once we had loaded up our supplies we headed off from Snowdonia for the long drive to Fort William stopping off in Glen Coe to enjoy the stunning Scottish Highlands and dinner. With an early 05.00am start on Ben Nevis we made the long climb up the highest mountain in the U.K. The last 200mts of the climb was snow covered and with clear blue skies the views over the highlands was breath taking.

Once on the Summit we had an extra reward as Glenfiddich Whiskey were giving out free samples along with a bagpipe player which was awesome.

After a short break on the summit it was time to return to Glen Nevis jump on our bus and head for Scafell in the Lake District.
We would be climbing Scafell in the dark, were navigation can be tough at times.

We made good time up Scafell, No Whiskey this time just a cold northerly wind to greet us, So a quick photo shoot and down once again to our bus.
Once on the bus everyone was flat out asleep in no time, I must admit our little mobile home was beginning for smell a little fresh.

We arrived at Snowdon at first light feeling pretty tired with very little sleep and aching bones we sorted our kit and started are final summit.

Some of the team wer e in poor shape due to bad knees and had to miss out the final summit.

It was a little strange to be without our full team on our final climb.

We made Snowdon summit in good time and our total time for the 3 peaks was 28.5hrs.

After a celebration hot chocolate on the summit we slowly made our way down the Miners track enjoying the heat of the sun and stunning views of the Snowdon Masiff.

We meet up with the rest of team back at the Vagabond Hostel, then after a hot shower went out for a little celebration drink.

It was incredible weekend and everyone pushed themselves to the limit.

We had the most amazing conditions and it was a great pleasure to do such a tough challenge with such a determined group of people.
