I've never done it and to be honest I have no intention. Sounds like an amazing challenge though and I hope you do well and get the advice you are looking for.  |

I’ve climbed them all individually.
I’d say comfortable gear and stamina/fuelling/hydration are the biggest things. Scafell Pike and Nevis are pretty bouldery at the top and so rough underfoot. There’s a good chance that some or all of the summits will be clagged in and potentially climbed in the dark.
It’s a big day out, and I’d really recommend training on rough and steep ground. Try your gear out in less-than-ideal conditions and come up with coping strategies.
You might want to try out walking poles as they help take the pressure off your knees when descending.
There’s usually snow on the top of Nevis. |

Buy a weighted vest and train on steep ground like the Yorkshire 3 peaks. Keep pushing the PB, when you come to do the you'll of been training 10kgs heavier.
Good look, are you on one of the coaches or being driven? |

The Yorkshire 3 peaks or 'the' 3 peaks, Ben Nevis, Scaffell and Snowdon?
Whichever you do get in lots of stamina training, serious hill walking none are easy and some bloody good boots that are well broken in. My mate did the 3 peaks he also said a good driver is never so they could sleep between climbs! |
