	National Three Peaks Challenge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Three Peaks Challenge is a mountain endurance challenge in Great Britain in which participants attempt to climb the highest peaks of each of the island's three countries within 24 hours, using motorised transport to travel between the mountains.
		The attraction of the challenge then, is less the pure physical challenge, but more the satisfaction of conquering these three British giants in one go, and the overall experience of a marathon task shared with a group of like-minded and similarly motivated people.
		It may be extended to four peaks, by including Northern Ireland's Slieve Donard, or even five peaks by tagging on Carrantuohill in the Republic of Ireland.

		All challenges have recently come under press scrutiny after one or two events organised by the charity sector and other commercial interests created a climate of hostility towards outdoor challenges, especially the Three Peaks.
		The Three Peaks Challenge is one of many well known, annual challenges, open to all-comers.

	INTRODUCTION
		Back in 1999 I had the realization that if I didn't attempt the UK National Three Peaks Challenge, climbing the highest mountain in each of England, Scotland and Wales in 24hrs, soon I would never do it.
		We are off on our challenge in September 2001, the first of many as planned for next year or later this is the original three peaks, then next year the London Marathon, the fifteen peaks in Snowdonia and the Cape Wrath challenge.
		The next thing was a suggestion that perhaps we should endeavor to complete 3 different three peaks challenges in the same year, which was planned.
