About the challenge
Viewed as one of the UK’s ultimate challenges, this will see you climbing three of the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales.. with the aim of completing the challenge in one day!
This is a great alternative to our popular Big Volcano Climb for all those amongst you who would like to take on a challenge event and raise vital funds for the children at our school in Guatemala.
On the Saturday morning the group will meet at EFTC's Nottingham office and our mini-bus will take us to Ben Nevis. We begin our afternoon ascent of Ben Nevis (1,344m) before climbing into the bus for some well-deserved rest on the drive to Cumbria. As morning breaks you’ll begin your climb of Scafell Pike (978m) and then we’ll head to Wales to complete your final mountain, Snowdon (1,085m) from the late afternoon into the night.
Included in the trip are expert mountain guides and first aiders from Mountain and Glen, round trip transport from Nottingham to the peaks, some snacks and bottled water plus a challenge t-shirt.
Three countries, over three thousand metres of ascent and one amazing experience…join Team EFTC today!
“I was looking for a mid-life adventure when a friend suggested I look at EFTC's website. I wasn’t disappointed- taking part in the Three Peaks Challenge was the opportunity of a lifetime.”
Join our team
Whether you want to complete the Three Peaks as a personal challenge or with a group of friends, we'd love to have you join our team!
As well as being a tremendous personal challenge and good fun, you will also be raising vital funds to help improve the lives of children living in poverty.
We ask each individual participant to pay a registration fee of £85 (including VAT) which helps cover some of the costs of running the event. We ask each challenger to raise a minimum sponsorship of £385. We don’t want anyone to be put off by this target and we will support you every step of the way, whether you have years of experience or you’re a first-time climber and fundraiser. With motivation, determination and enthusiasm you will achieve your goal!

“I used a wee mantra in training and on the mountains, “Education for the Children”.. Despite being one of the most challenging things I‘ve ever done, it was worth it every step on those mountains.”
