Three Peaks Cycle Challenge

https://vimeo.com/52738292 Last year in October I met Sean Conway who gave up life as a photographer last year in search of endurance challenges and adventure. Currently training to swim the length of Britain, you can read more about his adventures here: http://www.seanconway.com/

A few weeks after we met I found myself in a car with 3 guys I didn't know, with my adventure gear stuffed into my pack in the back of the car, my bike attached to the roof and on a drive to Snowdonia, Wales to attempt the 3 Peaks Cycle Challenge.

Having done the original 3 Peaks Challenge  where you climb the 3 peaks in 24 hours, I liked the idea of this adventure and was willing to give it my best shot. The plan was simple:

  • Climb the 3 highest peaks in Wales, England and Scotland - Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis
  • Cycle between them  - circa 450 miles
  • Wild camp and drink beer at the end of each day to celebrate milestones
  • 3 days of adventure

My story has been published in Cycling Active magazine - below

It was one of my favourite adventures and a fun, challenging way to spend a weekend.

I'll publish my full report and pics soon
