Minimal environmental impact

Please Note: There is much criticism regarding the impact that 24 Hour National 3 Peak challenges were having on the local areas. This itinerary is designed to minimise these negative impacts. Whilst aiming to complete this challenge as fast as possible it will not be done to the detriment of local communities that this challenge passes through or with any reduction in the safety of the challenge.
