The SPACE Three Peaks Challenge 2010

This is the challenge of a lifetime and will require participants to climb the 3 highest peaks in the home nations: Scotland, England and Wales. Tackling Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon and doing it all in the space of 24 hours. You will travel a total distance of around 42km, and ascend 3000 metres. This is a tough event and people participating should have the necessary fitness and also be prepared to do without sleep! We aim to complete the mountains in a time of 12.5 hours - Ben Nevis in 5 hours, Scafell Pike in 4 hours and Snowdon in 3.5 hours, however this will depend upon the speed of the group. The overall trip takes longer than 12.5 hours as you need to transfer by road to each mountain along the way.
