🔥 Overview
Think the famous 7 Sisters Hike is tough?
How about doubling it.
This event is an extreme 24-hour adventure combining:
✔️ The full 14 Sisters Challenge (approx. 20–21 miles)
✔️ Finishing at 10pm–12am, in darkness
✔️ A night of Winter Wild Camping — either on the cliff edge or hidden in the forest (depending on wind conditions)
This is NOT a normal hike.
This is NOT for beginners.
This is for people who want to push their limits and treat this as training for bigger challenges like the National 3 Peaks in 24 hours, Ben Nevis, Snowdon, or K2-style winter endurance preparation.
