The Challenge

The Challenge is to walk up 24 peaks, each one over 2,400 feet, in 24 hours total walking time.

Some of the route follows well-defined ridges, but the height climbed and descended throughout the challenge is significant. The route includes many of the more famous peaks such as Red Pike, , Helvellyn and Great Gable.

The challenge is going to be undertaken over a single weekend, the 17-18th July, with accommodation being arranged for a brief sleep during Saturday night.

Teams start very early on Day One, we're setting off at 0625, negotiating 10 of the peaks, before we finally descend late in the evening. Mileage covered in Day One is around 17.5.

Day Two involves another long day of mountain ridges, with the mileage covered around 14 miles.

The total height climbed is over 13,000 feet.
