What to Expect on the Day
The Route:
Starting from the village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale we shall take you on the classic route of The Yorkshire 3 Peaks.
We start with the ascent of Pen-y-Ghent before descending and walking miles across country to a lunchstop at Ribblehead Viaduct.
Then we shall start the slow meandering climb of Whernside where you you will see the last peak of Ingleborough ahead waiting for us.
First though we must descend and climb before touching the last of the 3 trig points.
We are still not finished though as there are the last few miles downhill making our way back to Horton-in-Ribblesdale. And a big cheer and well done to all who made it.
What’s Included:
A full day of guiding by an experienced mountain guide. From beginning to end your safety, happiness and sense of fulfilment is paramount to us.
We shall also have a backup car for the 2 spots we cross near roads. This allows you to stock up on water and snack supplies en route so you don’t carry it all from the beginning.

Prior to the day we will email with all the details and weather forecasts. Here is a list of what to bring as a minimum.
- Walking boots – With good grip and ankle support.
- Layers – Base layer, mid layer (fleece) and waterproof jacket. Walking trousers.
