Coming up with great ideas for geography school trips that will excite and interest students can be hard, but they may well be taken with the idea of doing the Three Peaks Challenge.
This undertaking involves making your way over the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales in 24 hours and, as well as taxing your students physically, this would also put them through their paces mentally as they get to know the local countryside and how it has evolved over the years.
There are several routes you and your group can choose to go down as you climb over Ben Nevis, Snowdon and Scafell Pike.
Snowdon, for example, has a number of tracks for you to select from, all of which vary in terms of difficulty. The majority of people take either the Pyg Track or the Miners Track, beginning at the Pen-y-Pass.
Pyg Track starts as a tarmac path and you will find it is quite rocky as you go. Keep an eye out for the large upright stone that can be found 30 minutes from the top of the route, where it joins with the Miners Track.
