  • Walking the Derbyshire Three Peaks in One Day Is a Great Challenge and a Must-Do on Many People’S Tick List
    Walking the Derbyshire Three Peaks in one day is a great challenge and a must-do on many people’s tick list The generally accepted definition of a mountain in England and Wales is over 2000ft (610m) with over 50ft (15m) prominence, as first proposed by John and Anne Nuttall in their two volume series ‘The Mountains of England and Wales’. By this classification there are three mountains in the Peak District National Park, namely Kinder Scout, Bleaklow Head and Higher Shelf Stones. Furthermore, it is possible to combine a visit to all three of these within a single 20 mile walk. Hence, the Derbyshire Three Peaks Challenge was born. Our winning formula for getting challengers through the day is to guide a small group and make it a friendly occasion with plenty of encouragement on tap, whether it’s in the form of handing out jelly babies or simply a timely: ‘you can do it’! Therefore if you’re after a toughie, either as a fundraising charity event or for your own personal goal- setting reasons, then read on! Three great peaks and 20 miles walking in 10 hours…. Right, let’s get things straight from the start – this is no ‘walk in the park’ (well actually it is as we’re in the Peak District National Park) but it’s a toughie and demands a reasonably early start. However, the reward for that early start is the chance to hike through stunning scenery and enjoy a full day in the company of a small bunch of fellow challengers, while achieving something that many people will frankly think you’re a bit bonkers for doing.
