In our humble opinion the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge offers some of the best scenery in the country. Set in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park. The 3 Peaks lie at the heart of an area of outstanding natural beauty and scientific interest. Even on a wet and windy winters day the Yorkshire Three Peaks offer a spectacular and memorable challenge.
The Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge is a circular walk which encompasses three major peaks in the Yorkshire Dales. Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough, the best-known hills in the area. The total distance of 23.5 miles, should take approximately 11-13hrs.
Each of these hills can be walked as singular practice walks, a great way to improve stamina and strength. See our other hiking events including Ingleborough and Whernside which will help you prepare for the event.
A detailed itinerary will be sent to all booked guests before the event, with all details needed to attend the weekend. There will also be a WhatsApp group set up prior the event so you ladies can organise car share and get chatting before the weekend trip!
