UK 3 Peaks Challenge – August 2021
Friday 20 August 2021 - Sunday 22 August 2021
Summit the 3 highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales.
From the rugged beauty of Glen Nevis Valley to the forests and estuaries of the stunning Snowdonia National Park, join us for one almighty trekking challenge as you take on the UK’s giants on this classic 3 Peaks Challenge! You’ll experience striking mountain ranges and discover stunning scenery as you watch the sunset over Mickledore and climb Scafell Pike at night. The 3 peaks challenge includes Ben Nevis (1,344m), Scafell Pike (978m) and Mount Snowdon (1,085m) and you’ll be aiming to summit all three in a total trekking time of 15 hours or less, over the course of 2 days. During your challenge you’ll climb around 3,050 meters and walk approx. 40km in aid of local hospice care. It’s no wonder this challenge is the most highly regarded trekking challenge in the UK!

Fundraising options
There are two methods for getting involved with our classic trekking adventure:
Sponsorship option: secure your place on the trek with a registration fee of £75 plus a pledge to raise at least £770 sponsorship in support of Pilgrims Hospices. Your sponsorship will cover the costs of your trip and raise £380 for hospice care; this could pay for all the medicine used in all three of our inpatient units for 33 hours.
Self-funding option: you can fund the trip yourself with a registration fee of £75 plus just £385 and fundraise as much as you can for local hospice care in your community. Every £25 that you raise will pay for an hour of specialist nursing care to an individual in east Kent living with an incurable illness.

Once you’ve decided that you are up for the challenge of tackling the 3 peaks and you’ve selected your fundraising option, the next steps are very simple.

- Once your application has been received by our partners, Global Adventure Challenges, they will ask you to secure your place on the trip with the £75 registration fee.
