Pen-y-ghent cafe - 9 hrs 30 - 9 hrs 45 for 12 girls

Pen-y-ghent 1620 hrs

Whernside 1150 hrs

Ingleborough 0915 hrs

The Yorkshire 3 Peaks are the summits of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent. Starting in the small village of Horton in Ribblesdale you will have 12 hours to complete the classic 40.2km route gaining over 1672m of ascent in the process. Successful completion will entitle you to join the Yorkshire 3 Peaks club and receive a certificate and other popular mementos.

The challenge is not particularly hard but it does require a good level of fitness and a desire to succeed. To complete the challenge in 12 hours is a notable achievement, but to complete the challenge in one day will bring equal satisfaction and also reward the successful participant with a great day out in the beautiful Yorkshire dales.

The above pictures depict a recent challenge completed by an all girl team of 12 who romped around the route in a blistering 9hrs 30 minutes. 

Donna, Kathryn, Melanie, Diane, Jackie, Alison, Elaine, Helen, Sam, Rowena, Felicity and Denise. Led by Nicky and Damon on a perfect crisp Saturday in October 2009.
