The three peaks challenge has become one of the UK’s most popular mountain challenge event for keen hikers. Thousands will undertake the challenge ever year either as a personal attempt or often to raise funds on behalf of charities and other good causes.
The challenge is often referred to as the three peaks and has become a regular event for those looking raise funds on behalf of charities and many other good causes with all three peaks being completed in less than 24 hours.
The three peaks challenge tests not only your fitness ability but also your physical and mental toughness. It will involve long and intense amounts of walking, prolonged physical discomfort and sleep deprivation.
Preparing for the three peaks
* For those who have recently taken up an interest in hiking it is a good idea to practice before attempting the bigger peaks. The Yorkshire three peaks challenge is less intense than the national three peaks, yet is a great way of testing your ability and is often used as a training event.
* Try and practice as much as you can on smaller treks. One that many choose to do as a test run is the Yorkshire three peaks challenge which is less demanding yet is a great way of judging your ability.
* Unsupported participants will need to touch up on their map and compass skills as well as acquiring the appropriate equipment in order to navigate on the trek. Many hikers today rely on an Outdoor GPS device to aid them upon each peak.
