Arrive at Yorkshire Dales

We meet very early at our start point near the village of Horton in Ribblesdale for registration and a briefing, and after warming up our muscles, we set off! We take the Pennine Way towards our first peak – the distinctive stepped outcrop of Pen-y-Ghent. As we gain height, we enjoy views across to our remaining two peaks, Whernside and Ingleborough. Clear, well-worn paths and stone steps take us quite steeply up to the summit (694m). As we walk up the valley our path runs parallel with the Settle to Carlisle railway line. At Ribblehead we can see the high, rounded peak of Whernside and we gradually begin our ascent, following a slabbed path all the way to the summit (736m). The last section is particularly steep but our efforts are rewarded with the views and the knowledge that we have only one summit left to go! We descend off the mountain and head to the village of Chapel-le-Dale. We soon reach the base of Ingleborough (723m), where a stepped path zig-zags fairly steadily to the summit of our final peak, where we can enjoy the views and celebrate our third and final climb! We descend over Simon Fell heading back towards the finish line, where we will celebrate before saying our farewells and heading home.
