OPEN BUS: Guided Three Peaks Challenge 2011
On your own? Just you and a friend? Join An Organised Group - the original and often copied 'Open Bus'..!
If you want to take part in an organised Three Peaks Challenge, but can find a team to enter with, and can't get a minibus or willing driver - then perhaps you should consider joining one of our Guided Three Peaks Challenges with some like minded walkers? These popular events sell out quickly each year.
We provide the minibus, drivers, mountain guides, safety equipment, food & drinks during the challenge: you provide the determination to reach the summits.
Once again for 2011 we will be offering fully guided Three Peaks Challenge weekends for individuals and couples, where you can take on this exhilerating event with a group of similar minded people whilst being looked after by our highly experienced drivers and qualifed mountain guides, and being transported safely around the challenge route in one of our fully insured vehicles, and fed and watered after each mountain.
For more details about the challenge in general, please visit our comprehensive Three Peaks website.
WHY CHOOSE MERSEYVENTURE? We have been organising Open Bus Three Peaks Challenges since 2000, well before many of the companies you may see advertising similarly organised challenge events, in fact, some of those companies use ourselves to deliver their events for them..! We have excellent feedback, friendly staff, and we rely simply on our reputation rather than any advertising.
ACCOMMODATION..! We do not include any accommodation in our costs. The challenge starts from Glen Nevis at around 12 noon and you will need to meet up with us by 11am at Fort William. Some people will choose to arrive in Fort William a few days before hand and organise their own digs, or perhaps arrive Saturday morning on the West Coast Sleeper Train.
If you travel with us in our minibus on Friday - then you will require accommodation in Fort William on Friday evening. Because some people want a simple shared room in a hostel at £20 per night, and others require a double room in a 4* hotel at £180, we do not block book group accommodation for our Open Bus events. We can normally organise accommodation for you if given enough notice, at cost price.
Some walkers decide to stay in north Wales on Sunday after the challenge, then make their own way home on Monday. Again, we can help organise this for you with plenty of notice. Most walkers however, will return home on Sunday.
For any queries regarding spaces, deposits, payments or accommodation, please email Richie at Merseyventure. For 2011 all entries are booked online. Thanks...
