This is the challenge of a lifetime and will require you to climb the 3 highest peaks in the home nations: Scotland, England and Wales. Tackling Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon and doing it all in the space of 24 hrs…now that is going to be challenging! Climbing a total of approximately 3000 vertical meters makes this a special kind of challenge, and not one to be taken lightly.

Why not give yourself a goal to train for whilst providing yourself with an opportunity to gain friends for life? Put yourself to the test and join the Sparks 3 Peaks Challenge 2010. You will spend a brilliant weekend with like-minded adventurous individuals in this exhilarating and tough adventure.
