The 3 Peaks Challenge is a popular and demanding trekking challenge in the UK. To complete the challenge, participants must scale England, Scotland and Wales’ highest mountains (Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis and Mount Snowdon respectively) within 24 hours.

Naturally taking on a challenge like this opens up a lot of questions. It also requires dedicated training and careful planning. Thankfully the team at BookitList have us covered with their 3 peaks challenge infographic.

The graphic includes a wealth of information on the challenge including explaining what it is, what equipment you need and how you can train in preparation for it.

All these things and much more must be properly planned and accounted for when taking on the 3 peaks challenge. Studying the graphic carefully and doing any additional research and communication required will help to ensure that you approach the challenge correctly and safely.
