The Three Peaks Challenge

September 5 - 7, 2008 - This event is now SOLD OUT.

If you wish to be put on a Standby list should any of the entered participants pull out for one reason or another, please click here to your send your contact details to Lou.

The challenge is to climb the 3 highest peaks in Scotland - Ben Nevis (1,343m), England - Scafell Pike (978m) and Wales - Snowdon (1,085m) in 24 hours.

To make the job a bit more pleasant for you we provide you with a BMF instructor who is Mountain Leader qualified to walk the peaks with you, he will act as a guide and safety back-up along the way. Your instructor will be in radio communication with our support team who are at the bottom of each mountain waiting for you with hot food and drinks.

For safety's sake we also provide two designated drivers for each minibus and limit the numbers in the minibus to 10 for your comfort. You will also be provided with snacks for the mountains, bottled water and food for the minibus journeys.

If you are interested in taking part in the 3 Peaks Challenge in 2008 we ask you to please think carefully about what you are taking on, we don't want to put you off but feel it is really important for you to know what you are taking on! This is a tough challenge, not only will you be climbing and descending over 3,000m in 24 hours you will also be in a minibus for 10 hours, eating at strange times, walking over rough ground in the dark etc etc Of course all this is forgotten when you are at the bottom of the last mountain but it is worth thinking about now.

You should also note that if you don't come with a group of 10 then we will put you in a minibus with a group of 10. We try as hard as we can to match the fitness levels of the people in each minibus but we are depending on the participants to rate their own fitness.

Training Days

To help you prepare for the 3 Peaks we run a series of training days prior to the Challenge in the Welsh Mountains. Departing on a Sunday morning from Earls Court tube station a minibus will take you to Wales where you will spend 4 or 5 hours walking over the Brecon Beacons or the Black Mountains. We highly recommend that you take part in at least one of the training days and more if you have little or no hill walking experience. The training days will give you:

Mountain walking experience (don't underestimate this)
Specific training for your leg muscles
A chance to test out your kit
An opportunity to bed in your boots
The chance to assess your mountain fitness

Of course if you can't make our training days that is fine but you must get some hill walking into your own training programme.

In summary, doing the 3 Peaks Challenge with British Military Fitness gives you:

Minibus transport from and back to London
A qualified Mountain Leader
2 designated drivers
Hot food and drinks at the base of each mountain
All water and snacks for the mountain
1 nights accommodation prior to the challenge (Youth Hostel)
Safety back up throughout the challenge

Sunday 3 August
Sunday 17 August - THIS DATE IS NOW SOLD OUT

Three Peaks 2006

Three Peaks Testimonial's

Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend, my teammates were a great bunch, Scott, a brilliant mountain leader and the BMF team were a great support group. It was a fun weekend and I look forward to BMF's events for next year - we have all agreed we would like to do another challenge together. Thanks again. (Sally Ann - BMF 3 Peaks Challenge September 2006)

Did I really do it? Haven't quite come down to earth yet but when I do I'm sure it'll be with a huge bump of cosmic proportions! What a team we were. It was quite amazing to put together 9 people who didn't really know each other & after just 48 hrs, we became great friends. You guys at BMF were true professionals in all you did. The planning & organizing was outstanding allowing us to concentrate on just the easy walking bit! Thank you all for what will always be one of the proudest moments of my life. It was a huge personal achievement for me. I will be looking on the website for my next challenge. (Su - BMF 3 Peaks Challenge September 2006)

Thanks again for a great weekend - really enjoyable and well organised. I have forgotten the painful bits already! (Kingsley - BMF 3 Peaks Challenge September 2006)
