Three Peaks Walk (National)

by: Brian Smailes
The Challenge to walk the 3 highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales is one of the ultimate goals of many enthusiastic walkers. Breath-taking scenery, fresh clean air and a sense of freedom and achievement are what you get when you reach the summit. Thousands of people have walked these mountains. Reading this book and following the advice and information given will ensure that you can be one many who will fulfil a lifelong ambition to walk the National 3 Peaks.

This 5th edition has information on preparation, equipment, the walking routes for all 3 mountains with new route information covering Slieve Donard, Northern Ireland's highest mountain and Carrauntoohil in Southern Ireland. The driving route between each peak is included as well as B&B's to give you, the walker, a comprehensive book to read beforehand then take on your walk to The National 3 Peaks of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon.

This challenge is sometimes completed in 24 hours, although we would recommend a more relaxed and sensible approach taking a day to climb each of the Peaks and a day to travel between the mountains. Rise to new heights on The National 3 Peaks Walk!

The map is basically an Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 Landranger map, but with the scale enlarged to 1:20,000 to include the three challenge peaks, Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon. This makes the features of names, roads, tracks and trails text and logos much clearer to read and allows additional essential information to be added.

The map section for each peak covers the region and shows the access roads as well as the walking routes clearly outlined in green. Ben Nevis includes the Glen Nevis Information Centre starting point and Glen Nevis Youth Hostel starting point. Scafell Pike includes the Wasdale and Seathwaite Challenge Routes.
