Meet Up at 6:30 AM: The Adventure Begins

The journey kicks off bright and early at 6:30 AM at the Overflow Car Park, unless stated otherwise. Arrive with your gear ready, where a team of qualified experiences mountain leaders will be cheerfully ready to greet you before a prompt start, all set to conquer the Yorkshire 3 Peaks in a day! 

With the aim of finishing in under 12 hours, our goal is to maintain a steady pace, hit key checkpoints, and keep the energy high as we take on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough.

The First Peak: Pen-y-ghent

Our first challenge is Pen-y-ghent, one of the most iconic peaks in the Yorkshire Dales. The ascent is rewarding, with the peak offering panoramic views of the surrounding hills. After the climb, we’ll make our way to Ribblehead Viaduct for the first checkpoint, where we’ll aim to arrive within 4 hours. This ensures we’re right on track for our sub-12-hour finish. Take a moment to appreciate the stunning views of the viaduct as you catch your breath!

Refuel at Ribblehead Viaduct: Snacks & Water Break

At Ribblehead Viaduct, we’ll have a quick but essential stop to top up our water bottles and grab a few snacks to fuel the next leg of the journey. Staying hydrated and energized is key, and this is the perfect opportunity to rest for a bit and chat with fellow adventurers.

The Second Peak: Whernside

With our spirits lifted and energy restored, it’s time to tackle the mighty Whernside. As the highest of the three peaks, it offers spectacular views and a real sense of accomplishment when you reach the top. The climb is tough, but knowing the next checkpoint is just around the corner keeps you motivated!

Checkpoint 2: Philpin Farm

Once we’ve summited Whernside, we’ll make our way to Philpin Farm, where we’ll find our second checkpoint. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to stock up on snacks and drinks, grab a toilet break, and rest your legs before the final stretch. Whether it’s a chocolate bar, a sandwich, or just a cold drink, refueling is important for pushing through the last challenge.

The Final Push: Ingleborough

After a well-earned rest, it’s time to conquer the last of the three peaks: Ingleborough. The climb is challenging but incredibly rewarding, and once you reach the summit, you’ll have a sense of accomplishment that’s hard to beat. The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking, making it all worth it.

The Descent Back to Horton in Ribblesdale

Once we’ve taken in the views from Ingleborough, we’ll begin our descent back into Horton in Ribblesdale. The final stretch will take us through some stunning landscapes, providing the perfect opportunity to reflect on the adventure and the amazing feat we’ve just accomplished.
