Has anyone done/planning to do the Three Peaks Challenge?

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Have done a quick search but couldn't find anything.

Has anyone done this before? Is there a Three Peaks Thread current.

I am doing it with a group from work in May. Never climbed any mountain before, let alone Snowdon, Ben Nevis and Scafell in 24 hours. I am fit (albeit gym fit) but inexperienced re walking, so am going to start some training.

Anyone have any advice/tips/anything?

DH did it and said it was exhausting - which sort of goes without saying. He finished with 10 minutes to spare, but some people in his group weren't able to fit it into the time. I think starting at the right time in Fort William is critical, so that you don't hit traffic at the busy times whilst travelling down.

One little tip, he went through an organised company, which sort of back-fired as they had to waste an hour sitting on a carpark, as the driver could exceed his driving hours!

Good luck - I'm full of admiration!

Thanks!

Yes I am slightly daunted by what I have let myself in for, howegver there are 30 of us from work doing it, and the company is managing all the transport, orgganisation etc.

Blimey though. I am looking forward to it very much though.
