Yorkshire 3 Peaks in 3 Days

The itinerary for each day is detailed below although we are very flexible and things may change on the day (usually weather related). 

We meet at 9.30 for each walk and will be out and about for roughly 6 hours.

Day 1 (Tue). Pen-y-Ghent (Roughly 9 miles)

From Horton-in-Ribblesdale we will follow the traditional route up Pen-y-Ghent. From the summit we will carry on towards Plovers Hill before dropping down to the old drovers road linking Littondale and Ribblesdale. The return takes us past Hull Pot, a waterfall as part of a collapsed limes.

Day 2 (Wed). Whernside (Roughly 11 miles)

Park at Ribblehead and then follow the Settle Carlisle railway past the famous viaduct and Blea Moor Tunnel. From here leave the traditional route to enter the head of Dentdale and climb Whernside via 3 Tarns on its wide northern shoulder. From the summit drop back in to the head of Ribblesdale and return through Ribblehead viaduct.

Day 3 (Thur). Ingleborough (Roughly 11 miles)

Start at the lovely village of Clapham then climb Ingleborough via the dramatic Gaping Gill and Little Ingleborough. The plateau where the summit lies is a large flat boulder field with excellent views in all directions. The return to Clapham is via some of the most dramatic limestone pavements in England, the Ingleborough Nature Reserve.
