Where to Meet

If you are based in the South of the UK we recommend you fly to Glasgow International Airport and then catch the return train from Manchester. This saves you a lot of time in the vehicle. Our vehicle does a round trip from Manchester or Ripon, so we can pick you up from either Manchester, Ripon or anywhere between there and the start of the challenge in Fort William. We will also drop you off anywhere between Snowdonia and either Manchester or Ripon on the way back. The best thing to do is contact us and let us know your requirements and we can talk this through.

Prices

We offer the National 3 Peaks Challenge as a private event for you and your group on any date you like. We recommend you do this challenge between June to September. From October to May we might encounter heavy snow and violent winds. We can still run the trip for you but you will need to be prepared to have ice axe and crampons and be ready for an even tougher time! Contact us for details.
