Right final plan for 3 peaks challenge is weekend of 21st of Feb traveling up the Friday and timings as following Timing of the National Three Peaks Challenge Timing on the day Your challenge time should be recorded from the base of your first mountain, to the base of your third mountain - i.e., the total time should include ascending and descending each of the three mountains. Typically, you should allow the following times for each mountain: Five hours for Ben Nevis Four hours for Scafell Pike, from Wasdale Head. Four hours for Snowdon These times are steady - for example, Snowdon would be completed comfortably by most people in five hours. A good pace is needed, without wearing out too early. The best way of testing if you and your team are able is doing a bit of practice on whichever mountain is closest to you. Add to those estimates approximately eleven hours driving - any faster and you would be breaking speed limits and making the climbing too easy, which isnt the idea of the Challenge. Several timings options are available, depending on your arrival time into Fort William. Option One - Walk in daylight As long as your challenge team has a dedicated driver, this is probably the best time plan. Ben Nevis is climbed in the evening, then all walkers can have a six hour sleep while being driven to Scafell Pike. This also maximises walking hours in daylight, so navigation should be as easy as it gets. 5pm Start Ben Nevis. 10pm Finish Ben Nevis and start drive to Scafell Pike (six hour drive). 4am Arrive and start climbing Scafell Pike (Wasdale Head) 8am Finish Scafell Pike and start drive to Snowdon (five hour drive). 1pm Arrive and start climbing Snowdon 5pm Finish Snowdon, and complete challenge. Then pub lol Need final numbers guys
