As far as I know there is no official Three Peaks Challenge organisation, and nowhere where you can sign a book at the start or finish of your trip. It's pretty much a voluntary challenge based on the three mountains that can be undertaken at any time of the year.
One site has to be mentioned in particular and that is by Steve Biggs and be found at :
http://homepages.tesco.net/~steve.biggs/3peaks.html#contents
This is a great web site around which I have based this record of our 3 Peaks Challenge, many thanks to Steve for allowing me to use his site as a reference.
Walking Britain Over 3000 pages of information dedicated to footpaths across Britain.
Nevis-View web site. Tourist Information, transport and walking links for the Ben Nevis area.
Cotswold Outdoor The Outdoor People homepage.
GORP-The Great Outdoor Recreation Pages. Packed with valuable information for outdoor recreationists.
Ordnance Survey - More maps than you could wave a stick at.
Lastly if you are forever keeping your eye on the weather, you will find up to date weather reports and satellite images on the Met Office weather page. Not only worth looking at before you set out on your trip, but very useful for educating yourself about the weather in general. It also has the fax and phone numbers needed for daily weather reports.
