History of the National Three Peaks Challenge

The challenge was first completed within 23 hours in 1926, by Dr Charles Hadfield and Mr W. N. Pape. The driver was Mr H. P. Cain. The three conceived it as a 'Joy Joke.' They were all keen rock and fell walkers. It was reported in the Observer on 06 06 1926 and in the Penrith Observer on Tuesday 8 June 1926.
