National Three Peaks: How to climb the UK s highest mountains - routes, advice and more Mirror 11 hrs ago Amy Jones
The National Three Peak Challenge, where you climb Ben Nevis, Snowden and Scafell Pike in a total of 24 hours, is certainly no mean feat.
It’s a total of 23 miles, and a staggering ascent of 3,064 metres (10,052ft).
These are the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales, and driving from one to the other during the challenge will mean covering a distance of 462 miles.
If you’re wanting a more leisurely approach to take this summer, climbing the peaks one at a time is also an impressive achievement.
The incident happened on Saturday evening. Royal Air Force Mountain Rescue Service were made aware of a call out following a full day of training. The casualty was located 100m up from Glaslyn on the Pyg Track, Caernarfon. Llanberis and Valley personnel quickly splinted and packaged the casualty into a stretcher and moved the walker to a suitable location for the incoming Coastguard helicopter. A spokesperson from Royal Air Force Mountain Rescue Service said: Three of our RAF Valley Mountain Rescue Team personnel heard of a Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team callout developing. As our personnel were in the immediate vicinity of Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team base, they decided to offer their assistance which was accepted by Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team. This combined fast party drove along the extremely busy Miners Track (Snowdon).
