Route

  • Set off early morning from Horton-in-Ribblesdale to begin your challenge. It can take up to 14 hours to complete, so an early start is a must to make the most of the daylight.
  • The first peak is Pen-y-ghent (694m / 2,276 ft) and can be seen from your starting point.
  • The next is the highest of the three, Whernside, approximately 7.5 miles away from Pen-y-Ghent.
  • The final peak is Ingleborough (723m / 2,237 ft) and is approximately 11.5 miles from Whernside. This stretch can feel pretty lengthy so you'll have to dig deep and keep the ultimate goal in sight. This is where your training really pays off. Standing at the top of the third and final peak feels incredible and you'll take that sense of achievement with you all the way to the finish line.
  • You're in your stride by now so the 6 mile hike back to Horton-in-Ribblesdale rounds the challenge off nicely before receiving a warm welcome and huge congratulations from the team - plus that all-important medal and Yorkshire Three Peaks completion certificate.
