Three Peaks Challenge

The Three Peaks Challenge is an endurance test in which you attempt to climb the highest peak in England, Scotland and Wales within 24 hours (including driving between the peaks). Climbing Ben Nevis peak (Scotland), Scafell peak (England) and Snowdon peak (Wales) covers over 3000 meters of net elevation gain and over 500 miles driving. Firemen in England began promoting the challenge a few years ago to raise money for cancer charities. I assembled a team of great friends who are worthy of the challenge. We trained for months,(the training plan), and completed the challenge August 1 at 5PM GMT!
