3 Peaks Challenge - Scafell Pike Training Walks

During the weekend, a number of teams and individuals took part in a series of ntraining and familiarisation events at Wasdale, including basic navigation, a night ascent of Scafell Pike, and a daytime ascent of Scafell Pike.

Conditions were fabulous for the entire weekend, but don't expect such favourable weather when you return for your Three Peaks Challenge... It's very unusual to have such clear and calm weather in this area, and after you all left we experienced high winds and hail stones. The campervan was rocking all night (due to the stormy conditions, lol) and the temperature plumetted.

ANOTHER SCAFELL PIKE DAY ANNOUNCED

Due to demand, we will be organising another guided Scafell Pike ascent, for individuals or groups wishing to see the beast before their challenge. This will be on Saturday 11th April (Easter Saturday) and it's a great excuse to have a short break in the Lake District.

Just £30 per person to enter, £15 per person if taking part in a 2009 Merseyventure Three Peaks event, or FREE if you are the designated Team Leader on one of our challenges.
