When attempting
the National 3 Peaks it is advisable to have a
support team of 2-4 people who are able to drive
between the 3 peaks and provide the food and
drinks.
It is not advisable for walkers to both attempt
the 3 peaks consecutively and drive between each
area.
The general tiredness of driving the long
distance between each mountain and the walker’s
fatigue makes it important to have a support
team.
Providing food and warm drinks to walkers is
very important especially in bad conditions. The
last thing walkers’ need on returning to the
foothills of each peak is to start preparing
food and drinks. The assistance of a support
team is therefore vital.
Members of any support team should have some
knowledge of first aid and should be able to
recognise the symptoms of exposure. They should
be aware of the location of the mountain rescue
posts and nearest telephone for emergency.
