Three Peaks Challenge Anmeldelser 155

Challenge - Yorkshire 3 Peaks (26/07/25).
I enjoyed this challenge, a lot. I completed it in 9.56mins. Everyone in my group completed the challenge between 9.42 and 10.45. Our guide was good (for us). But, and it’s a big but, I am the prime consumer for this challenge, youngish, fit, motivated, trained. If you can keep pace with the guide then you’re golden and you’ll have a good time. If not, then your experience will be worse, no doubt. There isn’t much empathy shown for slower walkers. I saw two lads be turned around 20 mins into the walk for not keeping pace. It was heartbreaking to watch. The start pace seemed unnecessarily quick to me. I don’t think it is the guides fault, it seems to be the culture of the company. Start fast, weed out slow walkers, cut them loose. They simply need to change the messaging to customers to something like- ‘Do not try this challenge unless you are REALLY fit. If you cannot keep pace with the group leader you will be turned around’. Less people might book, but it would be a truer reflection of reality. All that being said, I probably would book another challenge with this company.

Had an absolutely brilliant time with Steve, Nicky and Russ. They had perfect blend of support, whilst also pushing us forward to make the challenge on schedule. The coach had lots of space, and they are genuine experts, giving quality advice on how best to prepare and complete the challenge. Thank you!

Comprehensive map. Essential for completing 3 Peaks Challenge. Promptly delivered.

Passing on this information in case it helps others decide who to go with.

The group sizes for this tour are large - 40+ people and two buses at max capacity. This meant: 1) we were split into fairly large groups (10+) meaning that the slowest in that group had to keep up with the fastest. This puts quite a bit of pressure on those at the back of the groups and meant that my sister and I were at the back of the second group descending Scaffell Pike at the end and rather than waiting at the last juncture, the guide went ahead with the other group so we ended up taking a wrong turn in the dark. This wasn't acknowledged other than when we worked it out ourselves and doubled back (after about 10 minutes going in the wrong direction, the person signing us in asked if we were the ones that went the wrong way and said they had been ‘looking for us’ - we encountered no one on the other side and there was no one at the junction when we came back up). It would have been nice if someone had apologised for this but no one did. The whole experience would be better with less people per group / more guides.

The fact the bus was crammed to capacity meant there was no space on the bus to dry out wet gear or spread out at all.

I personally could have done with more encouragement from the guides - at times it felt like we were being told off rather than helped. I also made the mistake of mentioning a twinge in my knee to my guide on the way down Scafell Pike and was offered knee support, which I took. I was then told I couldn’t complete the challenge by doing the last mountain. As an adult faced with a public footpath I would have valued being advised about the risk and consequences and given the choice, rather than being told I didn’t have one.

In general it would have been nice if there had been spare equipment (eg poles, spare head torches and batteries) and more medical kit (apparently they don’t carry ice packs or proper knee supports).

Also - there is no hot breakfast despite what is on the information forms sent out.

If you just want a bus to get you across to the various mountains and are really quick and confident and ok on poor / zero sleep in the van you will probably be fine. If I was choosing again I would be looking for more comfortable transportation which gives a decent chance of sleeping and much smaller group sizes.

Just completed the Oggy 8 with Three Peaks Challenge where Nathan was our guide. I massively underestimated how difficult this hike was to a non-pro like myself, and without Nathans optimism and drive he got us through it, achieving all 8 summits. So many times I almost threw the towel in, but with Nathan's encouragement we all got through. Nathan is a real pro (and a really nice bloke), that was clear, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone 👍. Thankyou Nathan, and thankyou to Three Peaks Challenge - highly recommend!!

Best day ever. Event was meticulously organised. Guide Martin was lovely, down to earth caring and committed to his responsibility to keep us all safe and to get us in within the 12 hrs ( we did it in 10) He was warm and bubbly and got the whole team to bond. Tea and cake stop was great. Certificate at the end a lovely touch.

Three Peaks Challenge delivered a professional, safe, well planned and executed event for the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge we undertook on Saturday 3rd May 2025. Pre event the joining instructions were clear and covered off training and kit requirements and more information about the challenge itself. On the day we got underway quickly and Steve and his team were very informative at the start. Big shout out to our guide who we had from the bottom of the first ascent to the final summit-Martin Singh, he was such a warm personality, clearly exceptionally experienced and kept us motivated throughout. His congratulatory speech at the top of Whernside made me shed a tear! There was a medical emergency on the mountain that day and even though nothing to do with their participants the Three Peaks Challenge leaders jumped in to help and support with assistance. As participants we were moved forwards and backwards through the groups depending on ability and pace which worked really well and meant we could achieve our best potential on the day. The support at the water and tea and cake stops were invaluable too so thanks to everyone who played their part. A brilliant day and sense of achievement thanks to Three Peaks Challenge!

Quick delivery, the medals look great!

Slow delivery. Had to contact Three Peaks directly for a shipping update; the only information given on the tracking site for a period of two weeks was ‘your order has been received.’ Specifically ordered a paper OS map, when it arrived it was a waterproof coated OS map.

Rally like the company came Very fast

Can not give enough credit to the guys at three peaks. The care and attentiveness they put into our day yesterday was second to none. Small touches that were totally not expected go such a long way. Steve, Maria and their team are a great team that make peoples safety paramount in the day. Weather conditions were atrocious yet Shaun and Tracey continued to guide us with a smile on their face and a spring in their step. Can not wait to work with them again in the near future.

Great service. Easy to use website, easy to find what you need, and purchase from the shop. Super prices. Delivery was great, and informed all the way. Everything was fantastic. I will be back when I need anything else on the site, no hesitations. Plus check out their other services, advice, training, and event bookings on the website. Thank you.

Nice map, dear people!

Great service, thanks

Easy order process, and quick delivery.

This was an amazing challenge, very regimental planing to achieve the goal by our guides rob and Carl who kept us well informed and at ease with the task.
My legs hurt for 3 days after but loved every second of it.
