3 Peaks Challenge
BusyBus are proud to deliver all aspects of transport logistics to our partners in what we believe are the safest and most professional 3-Peaks Challenge events available. To many, at first glance, a three peak challenge sounds relatively easy. However, let there be no mis-understandings; it’s extremely difficult! It doesn’t simply rely on your personal fitness but also on careful organisation, good co-ordination, fit-for-purpose transport, competent driving, teamwork, strategy, motivation and passion.

Embarking on your journey to achieve, and succeed, in this event starts here but before you even take the next step you need to consider your event supplier and you simply won’t get better than BusyBus providing its services to its operational partners, including Adventure Cafe, to deliver!
So, do you feel up for it? A total of 480 miles (800 kms / 10 hours) inter-mountain driving, 24 miles (37 kms / 13 Hours) of power-trekking, a large part during the night, climbing a total of around 3,000 vertical metres (10,000ft)? Makes you shudder just at the thought doesn’t it? Well, this a special kind of challenge, and not one that everyone is going to manage or achieve but then again, it wouldn’t be a challenge would it?
With our partners and outdoor adventures experts let us take care of the whole messy organisation so you can get on with training, mental and physical preparation. There’s no need for you to worry about the safety, route planning, mountain guiding, transport, accommodation, team briefing & celebrations! That’s our job. The only decision you need to make is who to chose to provide the challenge
Most of the laws applicable to a 3-Peaks Challenge relate to the transport and are imposed for the safety of all. Some companies make every effort to “beat” the law but BusyBus is proud to comply fully with it; not because we don’t want to get into trouble, but because we want to be as safe as possible.
Transferring teams the 500-mile journey between mountains as quickly as possible is stressful on the driver. VOSA have given both guidelines and legislation on journeys of this type to maximise safety. For example, driver breaks are strategically integrated into every challenge, as is a driver change approximately half way through it.
Whatever company you choose to provide your challenge (even if you go it alone and hire a minibus to self-drive) do not underestimate the severity of this issue and make sure you are as safe as possible at all times.
Ask your transport provider or appointed driver for clear intentions of how they will maximise safety and comply with the law. After all, you don’t want the additional challenge of recovering your vehicle and team-mates from a ravine in the Lake District at 4am!
