The Yorkshire Three Peaks
The Yorkshire Three Peaks
The challenge is simple .. Execution is a little harder
The Yorkshire Three Peaks route is 24 miles (38.6km), includes 1585m (5200ft) of ascent, takes on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, usually going counter clockwise and in under 12 hours. These peaks form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Some people can get around in less than eight hours whilst some others just want to get around all three in eleven hours and fifty nine minutes. Whatever your timing or reason for doing this classic Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge one thing you can bet on is it will be memorable…..oh just to wet your appetite the world record is held by Jeff Norman who did this with a time of 2 hours 29 minutes and has held this record since 1974….OMG.
