In this second article on my recent 3 Peaks challenge I describe the hikes themselves and the transits between the mountains. See Part One for a description of the challenge.
My personal times were:
Mountain | Start | Summit reached | Back at base | Distance |
Ben Nevis | 5pm | 7-50pm | 10pm | 10 miles |
Scafell Pike | 4-30am | 6-30am | 8-30am | 6 miles |
Snowdon | 1-45pm | 4-10pm | 7-30pm | 8.5 miles |
So as you can see I did succeed and completed it – I got to the top of Snowdon in a shade over 23 hours. I was a little disappointed not to get down again within 24 hours, but as you will discover when you read the account of each mountain, I just count myself lucky to have even finished at all, irrespective of times.
