We paddle on to Loch Ness in the afternoon for a selection of our favourite camp sites.

Hike Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike

The transfer to Snowdon takes around 4.5 hours and includes a driver changeover. This transfer is through the night, so you will be sleeping on the bus. Have a quick snack, then get some rest. You'll arrive at the foot of Snowdon around 5:30 AM. You trek as the sun begins to rise,  aiming to get to the summit at approximately 8:00 AM to complete the challenge.

After the challenge, you'll be transferred to Chester Station or Warrington Station, where you can continue your journey. The exact arrival time at the drop-off point can vary, so we advise booking open rail tickets for your journey home to be safe.
