Fitness levels

You need to have a reasonable level of fitness in order to take part, but you do not need to be ‘super fit’ or a professional athlete! It is suggested that you slowly build up your fitness levels in the lead up to your challenge.

What to expect

The paths used are generally well maintained and vary from steps, steep inclines or gradual slopes, to more rocky ground. In wet weather it can be slippery in places, and in some areas, it can be easy to lose the path.

Route

  • Set off early morning from Horton-in-Ribblesdale to begin the adventure!
  • The first peak, Pen-y-ghent (694m / 2,276 ft) is just under 3 miles away, so it won’t be long until you enjoy the first taste of success.
  • After conquering the first peak descend and push on to the next peak which is the highest of all three, Whernside, approximately 7.5 miles further.
  • Start the ascent to the third and final peak – Ingleborough (723m / 2,237 ft) which is approx. 11.5 miles further on. Standing at the summit of Ingleborough will evoke a real sense of achievement and after a few victory photos push on with the descent as the challenge is not finished just yet!
  • Take the 6 mile hike back to Horton-in-Ribblesdale, where a glass of fizz will be waiting!
