The Edge To Edge Mountain Ridges Challenge

   
 

If you are looking for an adventurous team challenge that is different then look no further.

At 3 Challenges we have designed a new and exciting event combining not only the ascent of 2 mountains via spectacular ridges - Sharp Edge on Blencathra and Striding Edge on Helvellyn but also linking these 2 ridges by using our Specialized mountain bikes to get between them- a great challenge indeed!

The challenge is fully supported and we provide all of the necessary clothing, equipment,food & drinks and qualified staff. The route can be completed in anything between 6 and 12 hours.

The Route

Starting at Glenridding you ascend Helvellyn via Striding Edge and the traverse the summit plateau to Dollywaggon Pike then descend to the road at Dunmail Raise. Here you will find your mountain bikes ready to take you to the foot of Blencathra to undertake Sharp Edge. Once this is completed you then ride your bike back to Glenridding with some superb downhill road sections via Dockray and down to Ullswater.

Total Distance - 45km
