The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge is perhaps Britain's most 𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 hikewalking challenge. Taking place in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the challenge involves the ascent and descent of all three peaks in just 𝟏𝟐 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬. Completing the challenge is a great accomplishment and unforgettable experience with a total ascent of 1585 meters (5200ft) and uneven terrain making it a hard and challenging trek. The climb is set amidst the stunning landscape of the Yorkshire Dales National Park with the circular walk encompassing three major peaks: Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough.

We did it! Team Datapath completed it in 9 hours and 49 minutes, and in total we raised over £2000 for our chosen charities (Mind and Team Jak). ! It was a great day, awesome challenge and only a few aches, pains and injuries to tend to! Thank you everyone for all the support and encouragement.
Long and at times bleak! Was good practice for wet weather walking though, but still...fingers crossed Y3P is a dry day! 🤩
Last of the big walks, bring on the 2nd July!
This walk was interesting and beautiful the whole 20 miles, and it's a fab one for Y3P training as it also includes 1100m of ascent. With stops for food and photos along the way, this took me 9.5 hours.
