We are excited to have partnered with Global Adventure Challenges to bring you the National 3 Peaks Challenge. By taking part in this once in a life time event you will support our work enhancing the experience of patients and their families receiving care at Priscilla Bacon Lodge.

From the rugged beauty of the Glen Nevis Valley, to the forests and estuaries of the stunning Snowdonia National Park, join the team at Global Adventure Challenges for one almighty trekking challenge.

You’ll take on Ben Nevis (1,345m), Scafell Pike (978m), and Snowdon (1,085m), aiming to summit all three in a total trekking time of 15 hours or less. You’ll climb around 3,050 metres and walk approximately 22 miles, so grit and determination are essential to completing this fast-paced challenge. It’s little wonder this challenge is the most highly-regarded trekking challenge in the UK.
