Apr 27,2022Where do I honestly start !! This trip was without a doubt one of the best experiences of my life, from the moment I landed in Morocco Chris and Nic were there taking care of things and ensuring that everything ran smoothly, the experience itself is like no other and exceeded all my expectations, there are NO hidden costs at all which took the pressure of me for tips, meals and water supply which allowed me to focus on the climb, Chris and Nic have a real desire to help you achieve what you came to accomplish and this is the reason why everyone in our group summited Mount Toubkal ! The 3 days in Marrakech after the climb was a great opportunity to relax and enjoy Morocco with new friends - I have walked away from this experience with a lifetime of memories, this is incredible value for money and I honestly don't believe that anyone could give you a better experience than Active Mountaineering !! Thank you Chris and Nic for making everything simply perfect !!

Nov 13,2021A massive shoutout to Chris and Nic for an experience we will never forget. From the initial booking stage to crossing the finish line the organisation was top notch. Thank you very much for an amazing experience and we look forward to returning in the near future.

Oct 01,2021Completed the inaugural Ultimate 3 Peaks Challenge this week, having done the National 3 Peaks a year ago. Chris & Nic are absolute legends - everything is spot on: the training plans, the logistics, the briefings for each mountain, the words of encouragement, the kicks up the behind when needed and most importantly the laughs. They know how to get you across the line within the allotted time and will do everything to enable each and every one on the bus to achieve it - sometimes that involves some blunt words, but always delivered with humour and a desire to see everyone succeed. Their expertise and passion for the mountains comes shining through and if you share their determination you'll have no better chance of conquering these challenges and learning about yourself in the process.

Oct 01,2021After completing the National 24 hours last year and the Ultimate 9 peak challenge this year, I Can’t fault Chris and Nic’s service in any way! Their knowledge of the mountains and desire for you to achieve what you came for in your given challenge is second to none, and they even use every spare moment they can to get to know everyone in the group. From the very start of the trip we were instructed on all the common mistakes that cost time (of which they know every one) and dos and don’ts during the challenge, and that minutes matter! You may feel like your being lectured, but you’ll understand their no nonsense approach when you see someone cross the finish line after 24 hours with minutes to spare! You’ll also see for yourself at the end of your challenge that they run them the way they do because they genuinely want you to achieve your goal! So If you want to complete a challenge like this, I don’t believe anyone can give you a better shot at it than Chris and Nic at Active Mountaineering!

Sep 30,2021Chris & Nic are the most incredible and dedicated guides ever! I say guides but really they become your friends almost immediately. They are so personable and care deeply about everyone’s challenge and making it within the timeframes. I’ve completed the National 3 peaks with them 3 times and this year I did the Ultimate 3 peaks challenge. They put so much effort and energy into it, I honestly can’t believe they do these challenges every weekend! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! No other company can beat the service these two offer.

Sep 27,2021Chris, Nic, and the other guides were excellent in helping us complete the 24 hour 3 peaks challenge. They make it clear from the start that you have signed up for a challenge and therefore they keep a tight schedule and the motivational tactics are exactly what is needed to give everyone the best chance of completing within 24 hours

Sep 25,2021Without a doubt, the toughest challenge I’ve ever been a part of, I’d have never made the 24 hours if it wasn’t for the amazing Chris and Nic. The 24 hours consisted of a few strops and a few mental blocks but also a whole lot of laughs! I wouldn’t have wanted to have done it with any other company, hugely recommend Active Challenge ❤️

Sep 23,2021An incredible experience thanks to Chris and Nic! If you really want to push yourself, both physically and mentally, then the National Three Peaks within 24 hours is the challenge for you! I cant recommend Chris and Nic highly enough - their no nonsense approach ensured that we completed the challenge within the time limits and despite, at the time, wanting to batter them with your walking poles, they were incredibly motivating and really created that 'team spirit' that you need to help you through something like this. I have taken on challenges in the past on my own without using an organised group such as Active Mountaineering, and never again - they were worth every penny :)

Sep 23,202124hours 3 Peaks. Guides were on it, pushed everyone hard to achieve the goal and kept everyone safe at all times Be prepared to have to climb fast to achieve the challenge and take what you are undertaking seriously...it is the mountains after all.

Sep 23,2021Thank you to Nic & Chris who provided us with this challenge. We come across a couple of hurdles which was out of their control and added time onto our journey. One was a fatal road accident between Ben Nevis & Scafell Pike, the coach driver knew about it and done a 84mile detour. With this included, they still managed to push us and get us to summit all 3 mountains and get down within the 24hours. The guides they have on each mountain are very experienced & friendly. You never feel unsafe, and they are constantly motivating you along the way. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. There is alot of logistics behind the scenes which Nic & Chris deal with, all to get everyone over the line in under 24hours. Thank you for the good weekend (18-19th Sept) everyone we met was a good laugh and friendly.

Sep 20,2021We have just completed the three peaks inside 24 hours with Chris and Nic and they were absolutely brilliant and 100% professional. If you are fit enough to get over all the mountains Chris and Nic will get you over them in time. Thanks for the pain guys.

Sep 16,2021Completing the three peaks challenge in 24 hours is an amazing experience and I can honestly say I don’t think I would have been able to do this without Chris and Nic at Active Mountaineering. They genuinely want you to do the challenge in 24 hours for your own personal achievement. They have incredible knowledge about the mountains and are in communication with you before the event about what to bring/what to expect/tips on training etc. I had initially planned to do the challenge without a company, though I’m so pleased I didn’t, I genuinely don’t think I would have managed to do it without the support and encouragement of Chris and Nic – they know what needs to be done to do the challenge in 24 hours. Thank you.

Sep 16,2021Completing the national 3 peaks in 24 hours is one of my best achievements and there were moments I wasn’t sure I could carry on but with Nic and Chris on side it was a victory. Not an easy one at all but both Nic and Chris know these mountains inside out and they are the best to get you where you need to be, they will push you all the way, be mentally and physically prepared and this is the company to go with! The sense of achievement and being part of their team was fantastic! I would recommend anyone booking with Chris and Nic if you are turkey wanting to complete this challenge on time!

Sep 12,2021National 3 peaks for anyone who wants a challenge, well organised and run by Chris and Nic, awesome weekend 👌

Sep 07,2021A challenge not for the weak minded. But the reward for achieving the goal is immense. You will get all the support and encouragement you need to succeed from the active mountaineering team. Chris and Nic are very professional and honest and made this task an unforgettable experince

Sep 07,2021Just completed the National Three Peaks Challenge in 23 hours with Active Mountaineering. This was made possible by Chris and Nic's top class guidance throughout the weekend. From start to finish, they offered great advice and made the entire group feel comfortable and ready for the challenge. They clearly possess extensive knowledge and experience of the mountains as well as what it takes to get around in under 24 hours. A lot of effort goes into planning these challenges and Active Mountaineering are head and shoulders above the rest.

Sep 07,2021Really great weekend with Nic and Chris who were the PERFECT guides. They run a tight ship to get everyone to the finish line in time - they know what they are doing and are super encouraging and approachable. I was hesitant booking with a company to be honest as was keen to do it independently but I'm really glad we went with Active Mountaineering as all their advice during the briefing was invaluable - they've thought everything through so you don't have to - it's hard enough to do the challenge without the hassle of logistics. Highly recommend if you're wanting to do the national 3 peaks challenge in the properrrr 24hr time - no fudging average travel times or messing about in service stations 😊

Sep 06,2021This company are the best at what they do… They are an absolute must if you want to do the 3 peak challenge in 24 hours, the correct way!!
Mr Cocoa
Sep 06,2021I did the 24hr three peaks challenge and Chris and Nic were superbly organised, very experienced and briefed us well to make the experience a great weekend, you regularly pass other groups doing the same challenge and we were ahead of them all.

Apr 27,2022I have been on 3 challenges now with this company and every time have been amazing. I have been on the national three peaks, Yorkshire 3 peaks and best of all the Atlas Mountains trek!!!! Just amazing from start to finish. Well run, great support and even taken my son on the treks as well. My partner came on the last trip with me(he has used other companies) and said this was the best organised trip he had ever been on. Now planning Everest base camp. Just get booked on!
