I did the Three Peaks last month (12 & 13 May) and really enjoyed the experience although not sure I would do it again this year.
As mentioned above - driver should not be climbing, at least on the first two peaks.
Also, prepare for shit weather - it was -15 and a foot deep in snow up top on Ben Nevis when I was there. Scafell Pike and Snowden had seriously strong winds (80 mph gusts) and bugger all visibility. Take decent kit.
Physically, the walking and climbing are not too difficult (depending on the paths you take) but having to do at least one of the ascents at a horrible time of the morning is slightly testing.
Anyway, enjoy and if this becomes an annual event I may join in next year.
