Yorkshire 3 Peaks
Not to be confused with The Three Peaks Challenge this adventure is every bit as tough. It involves climbing Pen y Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough as part of a 23.5 mile circuit. In order to be accepted into the three peaks club this should be completed within 12 hours. A high level of fitness is therefore necessary along with decent mountain equipment, as conditions on the tops can be particularly serious.

Ways to complete the challenge...
The Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge lasts 12 hours and as such can be completed in one day. However many people prefer to make a weekend of it by stopping in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales the night before or after the challenge, giving themselves a chance to rest and recuperate.
