At Your Adventure Challenge, we believe that every great adventure starts with careful preparation, teamwork, and expert guidance. When Grace from YMCA Black Country Group reached out with 17 participants eager to take on the National Three Peaks Challenge, we knew this would be an incredible journey—both for them and for us.

The goal? To raise funds and awareness for the YMCA while tackling one of the UK’s most demanding endurance challenges—summiting Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon within 24 hours. But before setting foot on the mountains, we had to build a solid plan, ensure the team had the right training, and take care of every logistical detail to maximise their chances of success.

Planning for Success

From the outset, we worked closely with Grace and her team at the YMCA office in Wolverhampton, meeting to discuss:

✅ Logistics – Route planning, travel, and accommodation
✅ Clothing & Kit – Ensuring everyone had the right gear for the challenge
✅ Training Programme – A structured 16-week plan to build endurance
✅ Nutrition & Preparation – Fueling the body for peak performance

Grace then compiled all of this information into a dedicated YMCA National Three Peaks booklet, giving the team a clear roadmap for their training and adventure ahead.

Training Begins on the Malvern Hills

With a solid plan in place, the group began their training journey, kicking things off with a training day on the Malvern Hills. This was the first of many preparation sessions, designed to simulate the kind of terrain and endurance needed for the Three Peaks Challenge. The enthusiasm, dedication, and team spirit were clear from day one, setting a fantastic foundation for the months ahead.

As we always tell our participants—their challenge becomes our challenge. From training days to logistics and on-the-day support, we’re fully committed to ensuring every team is ready to tackle their adventure with confidence.

More Than Just a Challenge

Taking on the National Three Peaks Challenge isn’t just about summiting mountains—it’s about teamwork, pushing limits, and supporting a cause that truly matters. For the YMCA team, this challenge represents an opportunity to raise vital funding and awareness while experiencing a life-changing adventure.

We’re proud to be working alongside them on this journey, ensuring they can focus on putting one foot in front of the other—while we take care of the rest.
