We are a small group of four family & friends that enjoy walking & some of us have never competed in the Three Peaks Challenge by rail before, and will be attempting to climb the highest Mountains of Wales, England & Scotland.

We will be joining 200 other walkers that will board a specially donated train supported by Porterbrook, We will eat, sleep & be patched up by the on board volunteers on the train. We leave Crewe at 7pm on Thursday evening, we then head to Bangor arriving at 9pm, a short bus trip takes us to the Snowdonia National Park, to start our climb up Mount Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) which is climbed at night, after a Bacon Butty we travel on to Scafell Pike, via the Ravenglass & Eskdale Narrow gauge Steam Railway, Friday evening the train departs at 7pm, after, if we have been lucky a pint in the Ratty Arms pub, After a meal we sleep, while we travel though the night, arriving at Fort William in the early hours of Saturday Morning (4am), another short bus trip to the foot of Ben Nevis (Beinn Nibheis) we climb the highest mountain in Great Britain, which even in June has Snow on the summit. Then its fireworks, smiles, Medals and a party on the way back to Crewe and a well earned rest.
