25 Miles, 25 Hills… Elite SAS Style!
You dominated the Sweet 16, survived the Sinister 17, and barely made it through the Deadly 20. Now brace yourself for the ultimate test – a hike so savage even the mighty SAS would think twice. Welcome to the dizzying heights of the Silver Summit!
For the brave (or crazy) few who conquer this epic journey, you’ll be rewarded with multiple spectacular views and not one, but two mid-afternoon watering holes to toast your heroics.
Escape hatch alert: drop-out points at 18.5 and 22 miles – just in case the hills start winning.
