National 3 Peaks Challenge

The National 3 Peaks Challenge is the most popular mountaineering event in the UK attracting thousands of entrants in increasing numbers every year. People take on the challenge of climbing the UKs 3 highest mountains (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) for a wide range of reasons; maybe raising money for charity, or simply to see if they can do it! Mobile Adventure provides our clients with a range of packages for the National 24 Hour 3 Peaks Challenge, depending on the level of support that you require.

There has been much media coverage about the environmental damage caused by this event and the local impact on communities due to the high volume of traffic getting to and from the mountains. At Mobile Adventure we do our utmost to minimise our impact through careful planning and timing - for example we schedule our challenges so that we avoid driving through towns at anti-social hours. Wherever possible we use small 8 seater vehicles which create far fewer problems on the small roads and for the communities we drive through on our way to the base of the mountains.

The National 3 Peaks is a serious challenge and to maximise your chances of success we recommend you have the correct build up training, the correct equipment on the mountains and also some knowledge of good nutrition for endurance events. Mobile Adventure will happily offer you advice on all these aspects to ensure that you turn up as prepared as possible for your challenge.

The National 3 Peaks isn't easy - but it's worth every bit of pain - are you tough enough?

Why choose Mobile Adventure?

There are many companies who will organise your 3 Peaks Challenge for you, but we believe that we are unique! We are committed to providing you with the best possible chance of successfully completing the challenge, and although never easy we have had a consistently high ratio of successful teams, (96% of clients completed their challenge successfully in 2011).

Over the 7 years that we have been running the challenge, we have refined all elements of our events, and now work with a very small client : guide ratio, allowing us to use smaller, faster and more comfortable MPVs rather than slow speed limited minibuses.

At Mobile Adventure we take pride in our ability to organise your event in order to give you the best chance of success. The two keys to success are the guides on the hill who are there to guarantee your safety and the journey between the mountains, which needs to be smooth, slick and fast.

  • Transport


    Mobile Adventure use 8 seater minibuses on our challenge events. We strongly feel these are superior to the (speed limited) 17 seater buses used by most companies for the following reasons;

  • Non speed restricted 8 seater vehicles can legally travel at 70 mph on the motorway.
  • We believe this can save as much as 1½ hours on the overall journey time.
  • Better seats = greater comfort - well as much as can be provided on a 10 hour journey!
  • A shorter wheel base making for a smoother journey on windy roads.
  • Less chance of travel sickness on windy roads.
  • More power on steep hills.

  • Drivers


  • Our drivers have all personally completed or guided the challenge.
  • All the drivers have driven the route many times before for Mobile Adventure.
  • All our drivers are sociable, friendly and knowledgeable.
  • They all make a very good cup of tea!
  • Due to our expertise in challenge events we now provide our guides and drivers to many other 3 Peaks 'Providers' - come straight to us and cut out the middle man!

    Go on - Give us a ring! We firmly believe that no-one else can match our level of service and our prices!
