National Three Peaks in Three Days

Meeting Time: 1pm

Pickups (Day 1): when booking, you can let us know which of the two Pickup locations below you’d like to be collected from.
Glasgow City Centre (Hotel) 1pm at the ibis Styles, Glasgow Central, 116 Waterloo Street, Glasgow, G2 7DN. Please note: a discount code for this hotel is available if you plan to stay in Glasgow the night before/after the trip - details will be shown on your booking confirmation email.
Glasgow International Airport 1:15pm at the Pick-up & Drop-off area located outside the main terminal building in Car Park 2.

Returning to Chester (Day 4): we will transport you to Chester Train Station on the final day. Please book onward travel accordingly (i.e. an open return train ticket), to allow for flexibility with the arrival time into Chester. This will be dependant on how long your walk up/down Snowdon takes your group as well as other factors - we (sadly!) can’t control the traffic.

Public Transport: Glasgow is easily accessible by train (with services into Glasgow Central and Glasgow Queen Street) and there are flights from various UK airports into Glasgow International Airport.
Chester Train Station has services to/from London, Manchester, Cardiff and Edinburgh.

On this challenge experience you’ll stay in three different hostels, as you travel between the National Three Peaks.

Please see our National Three Peaks Kit List.
The compulsory items are selected for your safety, which is of paramount importance to us at Large Outdoors. Each participant should be carrying the items listed.

What level of fitness is needed?
This trip is a real challenge, so you will need a good level of fitness to tackle the National Three Peaks, walking approximately 27.5 miles (44.3km) over three consecutive days.

Can I attend on my own?
Absolutely. The majority of our participants are solo travellers and adventurers. Plenty of fun, laughter and numerous long-term friendships (and a few marriages!) have begun on Large Outdoors experiences since 2008, so there’s no need to feel worried about your first experience, or indeed trying a new type of outdoor activity, with us.

I am currently on a specific diet / have an allergy - can you cater for me?
Unfortunately, we are generally unable to cater for a wide variety of diets or food preferences due to the nature and cost of our catered trips and/or the use of shared kitchens. However, we can offer vegetarian, vegan, and/or provide meals with gluten free ingredients - these options can be selected when booking. 
Please see our FAQs for more information about dietary options.

What transport is provided during this trip?
Transportation from Glasgow, to your accommodation each evening - including transfers from the accommodation to the walk start/finish points - and on to Chester is included.

Can I bring my dog?
Dogs are not allowed on this trip, except for trained assistance dogs. If you wish to bring your trained assistance dog on an experience, please let us know in advance of booking so we can discuss the itinerary and any activity/equipment/accommodation, and of course additional safety requirements or considerations that may be necessary.
