Three Peaks Challenge Code of Conduct

A future meeting between the National Trust, National Parks and the John Muir Trust, taking place in Fort William, will decide a Code of Conduct for those taking part in the National Three Peaks Challenge, in order to minimise disturbance to local areas, and minimise damage to the three mountains involved.

News reports:

• Three Peaks Challenge to get code of conduct
• Bid to curb Ben Nevis ascents as charity climb ‘destroys’ peak
• Environmental fears lead to call for fewer charity treks up Ben Nevis

Update October 2009

Discussed on BBC Wales and in the Telegraph, the Three Peaks Challenge is blamed for excessive erosion to mountain paths, as well as streams polluted with waste, and increased amounts of litter. Ramblers Scotland and Cairngorms Campaign recommend imposing a limit to the number of participants.
