Peaks Challenge

[*Emsie*]

Have just come back from the Lake District and some of our group walked up Scafell Pike. I didn't do it this time but would have liked to.

Am almost tempted to do the 3 peak challenge for charity or maybe just one of The Peaks.

Was wondering if anyone had done any of these and how they found it?

Have toy done any walking/hiking at all?

I would suggest building up if you haven't. Hubs and I did one over the moors a few months back, around 12 miles, but it was fairly flat and was really hard going.

I'm not saying don't go for it, but maybe don't do it without any building up etc xx

Yeah we do some walking but would need to build up to it.
Am thinking of maybe Ben Nevis or Snowdon rather than 3 peaks now as don't want to over do it lol

How high are they & how long would it take?

People do manage to do the 3 in 24 hours but that's pretty intense!

I think I read that Ben Nevis would take about 8 and a half hours in total, Snowdon about 6 and Scafell pike took pur lot 7 hours though and thats supposed to be the smallest lol

Yikes, that's a lot of walking, good luck

It is something worth going towards & you've got time to work at it & be able to achieve at least one nxt year. Is there anywhere near you, you could start on?

Just think how good you'll feel when you reach the top, how proud of yourself you'll be, that will be wonderful x
