Scotland is one of those countries that has the world in a permanent chokehold. With idyllic lochs and glens, soaring Munros, vibrant cities, and absurdly charming accents… it’s hard to believe sometimes that this country is real.

But real it is my friends, and somehow, it’s even better when you get to see it all in person.

3 Peaks Challenge -how to do under 24 hrs. | route map | challenge schedule | Challenge Record | Ben Nevis -Scafell Pike - Mount Snowdon | Logistics: the best/cheapest way to do the 3 Peaks Challenge | Active Mountaineering
The 3 Peaks Challenge in the UK is a hiking adventure that most people can do with a little bit of training. It can be done either in under 24 hours (that’s the real challenge!) or leisurely at your own pace. When you call it the “National Three Peak Challenge’ however, that means you’re setting out to do it in under 24 hours, climbing each mountain then hopping in transport, driving to the next one, climbing it and coming down, then driving to the 3rd and final one and getting up and down it. All within 24 hours. And that’s exactly what I recently did!

So I’m going to give you guys the lowdown on how to do it as cheap as possible, as easy as possible (but not THAT easy), and how to ensure you come in under the 24-hour mark. So let’s get to it!
