The National 3 Peaks Challenge - Prowood Ltd

Tuesday 13^th July 2021.

The National Three Peaks Challenge is an attempt to climb the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales in ‘one go’ inside 24hrs.

What started as a group of 8 people on Ben Nevis finished with just 3 people on Mount Snowdon.

Although the elapsed times on each mountain were great the team spent a huge amount of precious time dealing with injuries, detours & making emergency stops.

Joe, Adam and Peter set off with just 3.5hrs left of their 24hr budget knowing it would take a whole new level of physical and mental strength to complete the challenge.

Snowdon was a brutal climb. The team returned to Pen Y Pass car park with just 17 minutes to spare, keeping inside 24hrs and completing the challenge, resting for only 13 minutes of the 3hrs & 13 mins of elapsed time!

“I put everything I had into this challenge. This was by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done but I’m over the moon to have completed it.” – Joe Hunter

Huge thanks to Steve Hunter, Rachel Hunter and Katie Forsyth for the 24hr support and driving.

Elapsed Times:
Ben Nevis - 4hrs 36 mins.
Scafell Pike - 3hrs 12 mins.
Snowdon - 3hrs 13mins.

We managed to raise £4247 (including gift aid) for Wigan & Leigh Hospice so far, so thank you to everyone who donated.
