Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge

[BuryBlue1977]

The weather hereabouts has been abysmal. Take waterproofs.

I’m in Ribblesdale now and it’s glorious! Will take waterproofs though as I’m sure the weather can be changeable

Yep. Don't be fooled. Glorious sunshine just the prelude to a howling gale.

Tomorrow I am doing the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge. 25 miles hiking taking in the 3 peaks, to be completed in under 12 hours. Anyone else done it? Any advice?

A second thought occurs. If misty, take a compass. Ingleboro has some treacherous drops. Assuming you have a decent map.

I did it last year in 10 hours.
It’s pretty achievable at walking pace providing you do minimal stops.
We did the route in reverse with Whernside first, then it’s a long walk out to Pen’y Ghent.
Standard stuff really, don’t take too much with you. Good boots . There’s a huge amount of walking on flat which is what really hits you. Just over a marathon in total distance

Iodine for your feet, and Radox for your bath. Used to be in the regimental cambrian march team. We did the highland way for a warm up, 154k in four days. Can still feel the pain when i think about it.

I did it in 9.40 but didn’t really stop for any length of time. My dog was happy when it was over and slept for about 2 days solid enjoy mate it’s a great walk

That’s good advice but it’s for charity and I didn’t want to look a **** (for a change)!

Yes why get out hiking when you could be at home brushing-up on your spelling skills.
