The MCG Group’s Three Peaks Challenge

On 2nd July 2021, The MCG Group are attempting the National 3 Peaks Challenge - hoping to raise as much as possible for our chosen charity Mind!

The National Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the three highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours.

Seventeen of our team members will be taking on a total walking distance of 23 miles (37km) and the total ascent is 3064 metres (10,052ft) - twice the ascent of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, over a similar total walking distance. The total driving distance is 462 miles.

The three peaks are:   

  • Ben Nevis / Beinn Nibheis (1,345 m or 4,413 ft), the highest mountain in Scotland
  • Scafell Pike (978 m or 3,209 ft), the highest mountain in England
  • Snowdon / Yr Wyddfa (1,085 m or 3,560 ft), the highest mountain in Wales

Mind is a fantastic charity that offers support and advice to those experiencing mental health issues. They also campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding of mental health. For more information on the great work they do visit: https://www.mind.org.uk/ 

We kindly ask that you help us in reaching our goal of £5,000. Thanks in advance for your donation, no matter how big or small.
