Some popular time-of-the-day choices are: Daylight walk : where you climb Ben Nevis at and drive overnight to ascend the following two peaks during the following daytime. Traffic-avoidance walk : where you complete Ben Nevis by 5pm, climb and descend Scafell Pike between and , and arrive in time to start Snowdon at Known for many things including; The Bronte Sisters, Yorkshire puddings, arguably the best tea in the world and more importantly for us the Yorkshire 3 Peaks.
A gruelling 26 mile circular route taking in the 3 highest peaks in the Yorkshire Dales all with the aim of completing it within 12 hours. Whichever way you look at this challenge it is a beast of a day and more importantly an awesome day out! From here you will start the ascent of the first peak, Pen-y-ghent and finish the last some hours later.
If you are feeling particularly fresh on the day you come to take on the challenge you could look to target the record time of 2 hours and 46 minutes but most settle for a good few hours more.
You will walk the 26 mile route over the 3 Peaks starting with Pen-y-ghent, then onto Whernside and finally finishing with Ingleborough. Although the peaks themselves are not huge in height they collectively form a big ascent, descent and added to the distance make for a quality day on the hill. Pen-y-ghent is arguably the most exciting of the 3 as it rises quickly out of the village, heads over limestone exposed fields and eventually ends with a short scramble to reach the summit.
A steep descent and then over lots of fields and managed paths heading towards the Ribblehead viaduct. You start the walk alongside incredible viaduct and handrail the famous Settle to Carlisle railway line before crossing it and starting the main ascent of the mountain.
The ascent is simply a long walk to the summit path but the views back to Pen-y-ghent are amazing on a good day. The ever changing route along the challenge now takes you across the boardwalks before a short sharp ascent onto the rocky plateau. Some long distance walks in particular before you take on the challenge are a real must as a 26 mile walk on uneven possibly wet, uneven and often slippy terrain can be tough if you are not used to it.
One has to remember this is Yorkshire and to be prepared for literally every season in 1 day and a mixture of terrain from picking your way through the limestone pavement to scrambling up the side of a rocky mountain. In addition on a good day, the mountains give ever changing views as far as the west coast, the Howgills and the Lake District.
A particular special time of day is the sun setting out to the west whilst reaching the final summit of Ingleborough. Yes the National 3 Peak s includes bigger mountains with greater ascents but the collective time spent on the mountains can be in fact not much longer than the time spent walking the Yorkshire 3 Peaks. A potential 12 hours of constant walking verses 5 hours then a big break and then another 4 hours followed by another break etc. The transport element of the National also takes its toll on people after a quick ascent of Ben Nevis for example.
The Yorkshire 3 Peaks throws an incredible amount of walking at you in one go whereas the National 3 Peaks gives sleep deprivation, mountains in the dead of night and long bus journeys.
