The Three Peaks Challenge is growing with popularity each year.

However, behind this seemingly uncontroversial event, there a number of negative impacts which are bringing these stunning regions close to their breaking point.  

 If you've decided to do a trek challenge, being well prepared and having the right equipment to hand

can make a real difference to the comfort and enjoyment of your experience. In particular, for extreme or long-distance treks, having appropriate equipment and knowing how to use it correctly, is crucial. Here are some essential items to pack on your trek.
