- In this video I am doing the three peaks challenge. I am hill walking up the Mountains Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon. In the national three peaks challenge you have to climb the three highest mountains in scotland, england and wales which are Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon which are the 3 peaks challenge.
Hillwalking up Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon is fun, hill walking in the Scottish highlands, lake district and snowdonia to do the three peaks challenge.
The 3 peaks challenge is a fun challenge to do.
Hillwalking in Scotland is a good adventure. This munro is suitable for dogs, hillwalking with dogs.
This is a good one for bagging the munros, munro bagging
Amazing achievement, very well done guys. Great video 😃👍🏻
Thankyou very much :)))
Absolutely fabulous. Great video and great challenge. Well done, what an amazing time.
Thankyou! And yeah im glad we ran down Ben Nevis😂
Great effort and great video!!
Thankyou!
Good work man! The video was good to watch too
Thankyou!
Smashing bro!! forgot how fun it was sliding down the snow slope on Nevis !! Glad someone didn’t shoveeee me of the sideeee 🤣
Hahahaha i was tempted😜😜
👏👏Great effort guys, I did them all once, but not at the same time. Great to see the views and routes again. 👏 👏🥇🥇
Thanks, i hope it brought back some good memories for you!
Well done Daniel it must have been really hard going but good video!
Thank you Archie! Yeah it was really tiring but was so good
Awesome job would love to do this
You definitely should! Its a great accomplishment!!
Ace mate!
Fantastic effort, best I could do was 26 hrs , well done
Congratulations for completing it! Id say thats more the challenge anyway! Doing them back to back to back!
Fair play to you Dan. I accidentally did Scafell Pike today and I am shattered after this. Can't even fathom THREE different mountains in 1 day
Hahahahah accidently😂😂 when i first started climbing munro my body felt broken for a full week. Was always limping at work. If you done it regularly you would smash it easy💪🏽
Well done guys, brilliant time and brilliant views. Would you recommend using a driver or would it be okay to drive ourselves?
Thank you! And yeah would definitely recommend getting someone to drive for you! Mad the challenge very enjoyable
Great video and amazing achievement! I’m curious as to what routes you both took and how you found navigating? I’m thinking of attempting this solo in a couple of weeks (never done anything like it, so probably a little mad!) and it’s the navigating up/down the mountains I’m most worried about. Awesome time too, 21:17 is an incredible feat!
Thanks Paul! Yeah i 100% recommend doing it, it was honestly so much fun, if you are doing the mountains at normal times then you wont need to navigate much because there will be a stream of endless people, so super easy to navigate, for snowdown we took the pig track on the way up and miners track on the way down, and for ben nevis we took the tourist route, not sure what the route was called for scafell pike
@@DanMunroMan Awesome, big help! Thanks and congrats again 💪
Well done! I'm wanting to run this route so looking for inspiration and this certainly gave me it! How did you find the drives inbetween? I heard your step dad drove? Nice recovery. How was the spa!
Oh wow! That would be amazing, and well i slept between nevis and scafell pike, but the hard part was warming my legs back up after the long drive, but after 5 mins they were warm again, and awww it was amazing! Was so relaxing!
Thanks for the video! What would be your recommended must bring items/equipment? I'm doing the challenge in August and need some tips. Cheers 😁
Hi Oscar, lots of snacks and water to keep you going. Hiking poles would be useful for coming down each mountain! Id recommend doing all 3 in daylight like i did! If you can get a driver to drive you then you should. If not then bring a lot of coffee or tea for the car journeys. I wish you luck!
Amazingly done! Just wondering: what kind of boots/shoes did you use for this challenge?
Hiking boots but they weren’t that great. I recommend buying extra insoles so your foot is cushioned more
Great achievement fellas, looking to try it in the summer, based in liverpool so would the same order be best do you think? Would a guide and travel be best if planning a solo adventure also, or do the driving solo with climbing, just after a bit of advice
Hi Chris, sorry on the later reply but id 100% reccomend doing it in the order we done it because it will all be done in sunlight, which is also much more motivating than the dark. Also id do it with a group of people, but if you are you want to do it with people with your own level of fitness, because there is nothing worse than waiting on stragglers while you are trying to do it in 24hrs, or just find someone who can take you in the car, i think driving and climbing would be very difficult as you would be very tired
Great video, we are doing the challenge this weekend! Just to check which routes did you take for Scarfell and Snowdon?
Sorry was late to message! Hope you completed it
@@DanMunroMan we did! Took us 28 hours which, as a group of complete beginners, we were really happy with 🤣
Wish I’d watched this before I did it in September. How naive I was to not train for it. Didn’t take any poles. Absolutely killed my legs. Couldn’t walk for a week afterwards.
Hahahaha, yeah i feel your pain😂 on the last mountain it turns into a hard mental game!
Lol 😂 I’m doing this in September and have done similar ones previously where I was peer pressured to not take any poles… needless to say I’ll be taking the poles when I do this challenge ha
After each mountain I was feeling a wreck can't believe you did all 3 in a day you must be in a great shape.
Well after i finished all 3 i wasn’t in such great shape😂 i hope you enjoyed them though!
18hrs 36min! Beat that
Hi mate not sure if I missed it but how did you do the driving? A separate driver who didn’t walk or one of the walkers did it?
Yeah thats exactly right! Separate driver! I definitely recommend
Hi Dan, I am coming over from Australia to do this next year. What time of the year did you do this challenge? Jed
Hey Jed! Im in Aus just now lol! I did this in June! I recommend doing it around the same time
What month was this? I am looking to do ben nevis next year 👍got snowdon and scafell under my belt as well as welsh three peaks. Scafell by far the most challenging yet! Found it relentless but I did do it on a very hot day!🥵good effort anyway man! 👏🏻respect!
I done this in june Gareth, so i had pretty good weather, and yeah for sure Nevis is the hardest of the three so good luck for that!
@@DanMunroMan nice one, cheers man 👍😄
Hi mate, do you think walking poles are a necessity?
Hi Kieran, i would only say they are really good if you get bad knees or hips! They are amazing for that!
Really well laid out thank you. I did wonder, does the 24 hours cut off at the last peak or when you get back to the last starting point 🤔
I’m guessing you can push on a bit on the drive through the night? 🙂
Hi! Thank you! And the time is meant to be when you reach the car park at the final peak, but if your struggling for time you can just say it is the top of the last one lol! And yeah exactly! I had drivers tho so it was much easier
Hi could I ask what route you did for Ben Nevis? Thanks
I think its called the tourist route! It is the main one
I'm going in November and someone will give me tips for clothing and materials
Well done....how did you train for this?
Thanks Matt, and i have been doing munros for the last few months now and that has really improved my fitness and also helped my joints etc recover faster
@@DanMunroMan haha I thought Munro was just your surname. Learn something new everyday. Im doing this challenge in 3 weeks, any tips?
@@mattblyth7979 its my stage name now😂😂 and yeah i would do them all in the daylight, i think that helped, and try and get someone to drive you, if thats not possible then drink lots of coffee or energy drinks😂 we met a lot of people doing the challenge who were driving also and they were all nackered by the end of it
Aww wow this was amazing to watch , I have been thinking doing these munroes not together tho , loved it
@@jeanzi72 thanks Jeanie! Really appreciating you watching all my videos :) thankyou! And yeah i think snowdown was my favourite! Was honestly gorgeous
I found this video as I’m doing this in a few months.
Aw great! Good luck!
Which was tge most difficult and couod you sleep between each?
Yeah i slept in the car between the first two! As stand alone mountains, ben nevis is hardest, but i found snowdon the hardest because of how tired i was
@@DanMunroMan i thought you do great 👍. I'm planning on doing this one day, got to build my fitness up first
