Yorkshire 3 Peaks

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge is a walking challenge route with the circuit normally starting and ending at Horton-in-Ribblesdale, visiting the three highest peaks in Yorkshire:

Route order: Pen-y-Ghent (691m) Whernside (728m) Ingleborough (723m)

 

The total distance walked is 37.5km (23.5 miles) and 1586m (5202ft) of ascent, with the aim of completing in less than 12 hours.

This is a long and demanding walk, with a total climb of some 5,202 feet and good navigational skills may be required on some sections in poor visibility.

The peaks themselves can be pretty hostile in poor weather, and ideally walkers should have an average to good standard of fitness and stamina, and most certainly suitable mountain equipment and some outdoors experience before attempting the challenge.

The Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge includes some of the most rugged and spectacular countryside in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

We can run the Yorkshire 3 Peaks event for small or large groups wishing to undertake the 12 hour challenge or over two days. As with all of our packages you will be provided with top quality equipment and professional instructors.
