Attempting the Three Peaks Challenge
by John Highland
Last September, a team of 12 of us, 10 climbers and two minibus drivers, participated in the Three Peaks Challenge, which is well known for its difficulty among climbers in Britain. The goal is to climb the highest mountain in Scotland (Ben Nevis), in England (Scafell Pike), and in Wales (Snowdon) within 24 hours, including approximately 10 hours of driving between the mountains. To prepare for this, we trained on and off for several months and planned the route carefully. Our challenge would start at the foot of Ben Nevis and finish at the foot of Snowdon.
We began our first climb at six o’clock on a beautiful autumn morning. Thanks to our training, we reached the summit in under three hours. On the way down, however, I realised I had dropped my phone. Fortunately, I found it with the help of the team, but we lost 15 minutes.
We reached our next destination, Scafell Pike, early that evening. After six hours of rest in the minibus, we started our second climb full of energy. As it got darker, though, we had to slow down. It took four-and-a-half hours to complete Scafell Pike. Again, it took longer than planned, and time was running out. However, because the traffic was light, we were right on schedule when we started our final climb. Now we felt more confident we could complete the challenge within the time limit.
Unfortunately, soon after we started the final climb, it began to rain heavily and we had to slow down again. It was slippery and very difficult to see ahead. At 4.30 am, we realised that we could no longer finish in 24 hours. Nevertheless, we were still determined to climb the final mountain. The rain got heavier and heavier, and two members of the team decided to return to the minibus. Exhausted and miserable, the rest of us were also ready to go back down, but then the sky cleared, and we saw that we were really close to the top of the mountain. Suddenly, we were no longer tired. Even though we weren’t successful with the time challenge, we were successful with the climb challenge. We had done it. What a feeling that was!

英語2022(令和4) 第3問 B－解答・解説
第3問 B 問1 解答
問1 Put the following events (①～④) into the order they happened. 以下の出来事(①～④)をそれらが起こった順に並べなさい。
( 18 ①) →( 19 ④ )→( 20 ③ )→( 21 ② )
① All members reached the top of the highest mountain in Scotland. メンバー全員がスコットランドの最も高い山の頂上に到着した。

③ The group travelled by minibus to Wales. そのグループはウェールズまでマイクロバスで移動した。
④ The team members helped to find the writer’s phone. チームのメンバーが筆者の電話を見つけるのを手伝った。
①スコットランドの一番高い山は第一段落よりBen Nevisであることが分かる。第二段落の第2文にwe reached the summit「私たちは」 とあり、この山がBen Nevis。
②第四段落の中頃に
The rain got heavier and heavier, and two members of the team decided to return to the minibus.
「雨がますます激しく降ってきたのでチームの2名のメンバーがミニバスに戻る決心をした」とあるので、Snowdonを登るのを諦めたのはここ。
③第三段落の第2文に
After six hours of rest in the minibus, we started our second climb full of energy.
「ミニバスで6時間休憩したあと、エネルギーいっぱいで2番めの登山を開始した」とある。2番めの登山がScarel Pikeで、ウェールズへはミニバスへ行った。
④第二段落の後半で
On the way down, however, I realised I had dropped my phone. Fortunately, I found it with the help of the team, but we lost 15 minutes.
「しかしながら、下山途中私は携帯電話を落としたことに気づいた。幸い私はチームの助けによってそれを見つけたが、私たちは15分遅れた」とあり、この部分が該当する。
本文では書いてある順＝起こった順なので、①→④→③→②が正解。
