About the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge

The Yorkshire Peaks Challenge involves climbing Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside within 12 hours.

We are a group of sixth form students who want to raise money for charity. We love challenge and we feel that the Yorkshire Three Peaks walk is a perfect opportunity to improve ourselves, and the lives of individuals less fortunate than us.
