Balkan Three Peaks - Norton Knatchbull
Leader: Chris Brook
2nd August 2026 - From Luton to Tirana
After an early start, our team is en route. The Balkan Three Peaks is a serious challenge. It is no walk in the park! Chris, our leader, has described it as the equivalent of Ben Nevis (albeit with more height gain and descent) on a daily basis. Good luck Team NKS!
Update: The team arrived in Tirana and transferred straight to Shkoder. They finally made it after setting off at 2am with 12 hours of travelling. A walk around town, a rest and meal saw the team back to full strength. They are now ready to take on the Balkan 3 peaks.
