Driving The Three Peaks.
Apart from the actual walking and climbing part of the challenge, you will still need to drive some 450 miles from Fort William to Llanberis, and of course get to the start, then get back home from the finish.
It's easily possible to drive well over 1000 miles during your weekend, and you will need a comfortable vehicle, plus a dedicated driver that will not be taking part in the walking element of the challenge.
