A Guide to the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge

Спорт

In the Yorkshire Dales National Park in England - Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent are the infamous mountains that make up the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge.
This route is 24 miles (38.6km) in length and the challenge is to complete the entire hike in under 12 hours.
We chose to take it on in the depths of the English winter, encountering high winds, hail, snowfall and rain.
This is both the story of our challenge attempt and a rough guide to the route, should you feel inspired to one day have a go yourself. We are experienced hikers, so do your research and stay safe.

    We walked it in 15 hours last summer starting from Philpin Campsite which is only a mile or so from the Ribblehead Viaduct. We walked clockwise to Ingleborough, Pen-Y-Ghent then finally Whernside then back to the campsite which is en-route. The great thing about doing it this way is that you can take the train from Horton in Ribblesdale to Ribblehead to cut the walk short if you have someone in your group struggling.
