experience is essential. You will be climbing and descending over 10,000 feet in 24 hours, walking approximately 25 miles often over rough ground in the dark, trying to sleep sitting upright in a minibus, eating at strange times, and experiencing everything the British weather has to offer.

The best time of year to undertake this extreme challenge is when the days are longest so it is run from early May to Mid July. However the mountains, car parks and roads will be very busy. Mid week is often a better option but naturally involves taking additional time off work.
If you or a group of friends or work colleagues would like to undertake this challenge then please do get in contact to discuss possible dates.
ONLY EXPERIENCED AND FIT HIKERS NEED APPLY.
ARE YOU REALLY TOUGH ENOUGH?
