Achieve something memorable in Yorkshire
This exciting and rewarding challenge will have you trekking over the famous Yorkshire Three Peaks in just under 12 hours. The peaks Pen-y-ghent (694 m), Whernside (736 m) and Ingleborough (723 m), form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the heads of the valleys of the River Ribble in Yorkshire Dales National Park in the North of England. The route provides stunning scenery across the Yorkshire countryside. While the peaks may not rise significantly, this challenge should not be underestimated as it is just shy of a marathon distance in length with over 1500 metres of vertical ascent – all in a matter of hours.
