This one is all about the challenge.
Join us to take on the iconic Yorkshire 3 Peaks — a demanding 24 mile (38.6km) circular route covering Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough with a total ascent of 1,585m. The aim is to complete the full route within 9 hours, making this a tough but hugely rewarding mountain day.
We meet at 07:00 in Horton-in-Ribblesdale, starting with Pen-y-Ghent before crossing the moors to Whernside and finishing with the ascent of Ingleborough. The day is fully guided and paced throughout, with support and structure to help you keep moving and stay on track.
⚠️ Please note: this is a physically demanding challenge designed for those with a strong level of fitness and the ability to keep a steady pace over long distances and sustained climbs.
Key Details:
• 24 miles / 38.6km circular route
• 1,585m total ascent
