This is my experience of the National 3 Peaks Challenge.
The full challenge took me 23 hours 46 minutes. I could not do the maths in my head at the end of the video, I was so tired.
I did Ben Nevis in 4 hours 12 mins
Scafell Pike in 2 hours 55 mins
Snowden in 3 hours 48 mins
The reason the challenge took me so long when each individual mountain was fairly quick is because I spent a lot of time messing about in the car. Which I couldn’t really help due to how I was eating my meals.
It’s true that I have no experience climbing mountain, any hills or inclines what so ever. But I will say I am reasonably fit and I wouldn’t have attempted it otherwise.
The video would not have been possible without my little brother, Kieran. He deserves a massive thank you, just for putting up with me.
I initially planned on just using his computer and using GoPro Quik to do the editing. I saw that he could already use Sony Vegas, so we decided that he would take the wheel, with me say in the passenger seat giving directions, and sometimes shouting that he’s gone the wrong way 😂
Please forgive obvious rookie mistakes; if this is the first video, the sky is the limit from here. Thank you for watching!

Did you do this in Sep 2023 in the end?

Fair play and great effort completing it in time! I nearly had a heart attack when you approached the snow edge on Ben Nevis. Edges of snow are called cornices where wind blows snow over solid ground and the snow builds horizontally creating a false edge with no solid ground beneath. You were virtually stood on one. Could have easily given way and the end of you. Things can go very wrong quickly in the mountains. Just explaining if anyone else is reading this thinking of going up with minimal experience. Also all mountain paths have cairns (piles of small rocks which people have piled up) that guide you on a safe route to avoid danger. In doubt, always follow the cairns. Top effort 🫡

Proper effort there. Love the determination at the end. Doing it next month and this video has really helped 👍

@daveostlemountainman Год назад

well done lad, did this last year.. tho am not sure if ur aware how close to a fatal accident you were on top of ben nevis there as am pretty sure you were on a snow cornice with very little below you 😮

Hi mate, thanks for the comment! I know, I do cringe watching it back. Curiosity drew me a lot closer to the edge than I should’ve gone. And it took me too long to realise, so it’s something to know for next time. It does look a lot closer on camera though.

@Liam_Simms Год назад

Just found yours, I’ll give it a watch

Best National 3 Peaks video. So realistic and funny. Did you by 3% chance not have a shit 😂. On a serious note, great effort. I’m doing it next year, you’re my inspiration.

@Liam_Simms 10 месяцев назад

Great comment, thank you very much ❤ Do ya know mate I managed to make it to the end of scafell pike 😂 you legend I hope all goes well and you get lucky with the weather like I did

@tomr200199 11 месяцев назад

I must have watched you reaction at 17:43 about 30 times, flippin' hilarious. I would say I'd have reacted the exact same way, but there's no chance I get that close to the edge! Top video, makes me want to attempt it next summer.

@Liam_Simms 11 месяцев назад

That’s definitely a highlight 😂 yeah I am abit daft getting that close. Thanks for watching and hope you get to have your turn in summer 👊🏻

@paulharvey9149 11 месяцев назад

Your stamina is incredible, my friend - very well done! And thanks for leaving all the swearing in - it's so much more realistic and easier to identify with you!

Go on Liam! A beast of a challenge, footage looks good. Hope to see more videos from you.

Thanks for the comment, I love that!

@nltebbs Год назад

Boss video! Probably the best 3 peaks video I've found and watched. The 'Jesus fucking christ' at the edge of Ben Nevis was the highlight haha!

@Liam_Simms Год назад

Thanks for the comment! Haha I like that bit too, definitely time to go do another challenge again 😎

@mrmolecatcher 7 месяцев назад

Well done Liam, cracking video.

@MattDoesMountains Год назад

Boss mate, fair play doing it all yourself, done it with a driver a couple of years ago and it was bad enough 😂 well done pal 🤙

@Liam_Simms Год назад

Thank you mate, I appreciate that. Congrats on completing yourself! And because you watched the video, I don’t need to say this as you will have seen for yourself, but anyway, I’m just an idiot 😂😂 god knows why I thought it was a good idea😂 glad I did it though. I’ll remember it forever ❤

@tommyrunner Год назад

I done it few days ago :) Also self managed with father as visitor for holiday in UK. :) Also I got Mondeo same... Brilliant car for it ;] Well Done for You!

@Liam_Simms Год назад

Hey mate, thanks for the comment and congrats on finishing it yourself. Yeah the mondeo is perfect 😎

@LearyUK123 9 месяцев назад

🫡 hats off to you Liam. Bonkers doing that and all the driving yourself but fair play you smashed it. 👍👍👍👍

@LearyUK123 9 месяцев назад

And can’t believe you looked to have all three summits to yourself too. Crazy!

@Liam_Simms 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment, yeah that’s it, I got unbelievably lucky with that and the weather on the first two mountains as well

@movingourmind 11 месяцев назад

Great video. Really want to do the 3 peaks one day

@Liam_Simms 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment! Hope you get to do it one day it’s a great experience!

Proppa nutter doing that on your own, I ve done this but in a group havin to have driven aswell as all the walking is a feat in its self welldone !! didnt get to see anything at the top of ben nevis for fog so to see the drop off and how severe and close it ws was something else on your video !!. your timings could have been a bit better had you started at 5.30pm at nevis you could have done 90% of your walking in the daylight I think as we did. so to have to walk up and down snowdon in the pitch black is not easy either as ive done it in daylight and dark many times. Great video and an amazing achievement solo Liam . I wouldnt recommend anyone did it on there own either

@cdraynes5129 Месяц назад

Agree, Time of start is crucial, so many people get it wrong. 1730 hours or 1800 in high summer gives you all the hills in daylight.

Thanks for the comment. Very useful info for anyone wanting to have a go themselves ❤️

17:30 Standing on crappy snow over a vertical drop looking at crappy snow on a vertical drop and not once did you say "This is a dumbass place to stand". Mountain rescue like guys like you. You keep them relevant.
