Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge (Sub 12 Hours)

Adventure Details

Overview - Find Yourself In Nature!

A must do on many an adventurer’s bucket list! If you’re after a challenge, whether as a fundraising charity event, corporate team building experience or just to test your own physical and mental fortitude, join a sociable group of like minded people, make friends and help each other through the day; our guided Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge is perfect for solo challengers, couples, friends and groups.

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge will take us along 38.6km (24 miles) and over three mountains in under 12 hours! We’ll ascend a total of 1585m over Ingleborough (723m), Pen-y-Ghent (694m) and Whernside (736m), which form part of the Pennine mountain range, all in the outstanding beauty of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

A fully qualified, experienced and first aid trained Mountain Leader will accompany us in a small group of challengers, taking out the need to concentrate on route finding and wasting time taking wrong turns, which will allow us to just concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other whilst also enjoying the stunning views. There’ll be lots of encouragement throughout the day and although tough, it’s meant to be a friendly experience with our Mountain Leader there to aid us to the finish.

As long as you have a reasonable level of fitness, you’ll just need to dig deep in those final few miles to prove to yourself and all those who doubted you and thought you were bonkers, that you can do it! The sense of achievement you’ll feel at the end will make you feel totally exhilarated; in many cases emotional and will have made it all worthwhile and more than likely inspired you for your next adventure!

Please note - this is the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge, with a expected time of 12 hours. There is a sub 10 hour challenge planned earlier in the year if you feel this might be too easy for you!
