The Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge
Probably the best one day challenge event in the UK, the Yorkshire 3 Peaks is a tough 12 hour challenge climbing Pen Y Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, covering 24 miles. This event can also be run as a marshalled event, perfect for the larger groups.
Scafell Pike
The highest mountain in England in the heart of the Lake District National Park. We take at least 200 groups up Scafell Pike each year, our highly qualified guides have an intimate knowledge of the Lake District fells, you couldn't be in better hands. For a quirky twist to your challenge why not set off in the early hours and be back in time for breakfast!
24 Peaks in 24 Hours
This is fast becoming one of our most popular challenge events, a difficult but rewarding challenge spread over two days we climb 24 of the highest summits in the Lake District, including Scafell Pike, the highest peak, spread over two 12 hour days.
The Lakeland 3000ft Peaks Challenge
There are four mountains in England over the height of 3000ft, Scafell Pike, Scafell, Helvellyn and Skiddaw. This is a perfect event for those looking to be challenged during the day but with time in the evenings to relax and / or celebrate.
The National 3 Peaks Challenge
Over the past few years this has become one of the most popular mountain challenge events in the UK. Climbing the highest summits in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon) completing the challenge within the 24 hours target is a wonderful challenge. For those looking for a more relaxed challenge we can also organise a three day or five day version of this event. On the down side this event has become so popular that many inexperienced individuals and companies are risking their clients well being by being unprepared, uninsured and unqualified, whether taking part in our of our events or another companies please ensure your safety is their number one priority too may have already paid the highest price for the budget challenge!
The Welsh 3000ft Peaks
One of the hardest challenge events the British mountains have to offer. The route covers all 15 summits above 3000ft, anyone looking to complete this challenge within 24 hours needs to be very fit with full technical mountain clothing to complete a challenge of this magnitude, it's a long walk over rough terrain, but for those who are able to complete the challenge it is a wonderful event.
The High Street Roman Road March
A walk along the length of the High Street Roman Road, from north to south, fort to fort. This route would have been a days march for a Roman Legionary, nowadays it is a wonderful linear walk across some of the most beautiful scenery in England. Climbing to the summit of High Street and covering 23 miles, this is perfect for those looking for a similar challenge to the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge.
Wild Camping
We regularly organise wild camping trips onto the mountains of the UK, two or three day wild camping trips are the perfect way to challenge your team, the trips can be tailor made to suit your needs, we can provide tents and cooking, eating & drinking apparatus.
