Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge

Intro

Challengingskills icon

To complete this route is to undertake one of the great outdoor challenges of the UK. It will be a tough day, but worth it for that feeling of satisfaction upon completion.

The scenery is dramatic and ever changing, wildlife abounds as do carpets of flowers encouraged by the nutrient rich soils of the Limestone pavement.

We start and finish in the sleepy village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale, from here we can observe much of the route that lies waiting for discovery.

Upon our return to Horton, there will be transfers to your nearby accommodation where an evening meal can be enjoyed. All transfers during the trip are provided and all are short.

Course Requirements

To do this trip you need to have a certain level of fitness. No previous mountaineering experience is required for this trip, however, the fitter you are the more you will enjoy your day.

This is a long walk, covering approximately 23 miles whilst ascending the 3 highest peaks in Yorkshire, therefore prior training walks and visits to the gym will undoubtedly add to your overall enjoyment of the trip as well as your ability to complete it.

We recommend that you follow a fitness plan in preparation for your challenge, an example of one will be sent to you when you have confirmed your booking.

Although the fitness plan we will send to you has been devised by a fitness professional, this is only provided as a guide and you should seek professional advice before starting your own fitness regime.
