The aim of the 24 Peaks Challenge, is to climb 24 mountains, which are all over 2400ft over the course of two days in 24 hours walking, including Scafell Pike the highest mountain in England. Each section of the walk has its own challenges for you to meet and conquer and by the time you have finished you will have climbed around 13,000ft over the course of the challenge!
The Lake District is England’s largest national park and includes Scafell Pike – its highest mountain, Wastwater – its deepest lake and picturesque and thriving towns like Keswick and Grasmere. This is the gorgeous backdrop of the 24 Peaks Challenge where over the course of a weekend you will ascend the mountains of the area offering you unparalleled and well earned breathtaking views.
Starting at Gatesgarth Farm your first day’s walking will see you cover approximately 17.5 miles and summit on 10 of your 24 Peaks. It will be a long day and you can expect to take between 13 and 17 hours approximately to complete – a real test of endurance.
After you first day its back to base for a well deserved rest where you will have the chance to get a hot shower, dinner and a chance to relax before hitting the hay to get as much rest for the second day of the challenge.
The second day is another early rise for you and your teammates where you will have a shorter distance of 14 miles with the opportunity to bag 14 summits. This will take between 8 and 12 hours to complete and you’ll hit the highs of well known peaks like Hellvelyn, where someone has landed a plane!
With the 24 Peaks in the bag you can fee rightly proud of your achievement and it is a short trip to back to Keswick where you can get cleaned up and enjoy a traditional English dinner that will hit the spot! You’ll then have time to enjoy a drink with your new found friends and regale in the stories of a long but very enjoyable weekend.
